Greatest Moments In Eagles History Border Poll - Round 2

[Grey Sadler]

Wow, I'm surprised Timothy joining the band didn't make it to Round 2.

I am too...I consider that a pivotal moment!!

Wow, I'm surprised Timothy joining the band didn't make it to Round 2.

I didn't have this on my list. Tho VERY important to me, I don't feel that it was a "defining" moment and that was how I made my list.

Like I said last round, I'm having trouble with separating the "greatest" and the "defining" moments for some reason. I think some of the "defining" moments changed the course of Eagles history and we wouldn't have the Eagles as we know them where some of the "greatest" moments didn't do that so much but meant a lot to us as fans. Does that make sense?

Will work on my list soon.

Very, very hard to pick out two of those to leave out. I guess these are what's most important to me.

I've noticed some of these lists are in chronological order. I thought the idea was to rank them in terms of importance which would not necessarily mean chronologically. Maybe that could be emphasised for the next round.

Some of us rank earlier moments before later ones because the later ones wouldn't have happened otherwise. If Glenn doesn't befriend Don, there's no band and who knows what would've happened if they never started collaborating on songs?

REMINDER:

Everyone has until this Friday, 3/22 at 8:00 p.m. EST to post their list for Round 2.

You hit the nail on the head there, pfd!

Is this like Survivor? Does something get eliminated each round?
