Underrated Eagles Song Survivor

[UK TimFan]

I vote for 'Pretty maids all in a row'.

[Brooke]

Too Many Hands

I must say I, too, love the DD/Desperado Reprise. Although, it's the two songs put together somewhat, so is it really a 'song' all by itself? It's kinda confusing to call it an original song. But, I love it!

Pretty Maids All In A Row...love this song...but I don't think it's underrated...

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes, I would go for Pretty Maids All in a Row as well. While its not one of the 'classic' Eagles songs that you would hear on the radio for example I don't think its as underrated as some of the other tunes. I have my own 'Most Underrated Song' picked out. I wonder how long it will last?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, I would definitely vote for Too Many Hands if it needed my vote for elimination. But, since it is going down, I'll go ahead and vote strategically for the next song that I feel should be eliminated ...

I cast my vote for Pretty Maids All in a Row.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The next song to be eliminated in the Underrated Eagles Song Survivor is Too Many Hands. “Too Many Hands”, the tribe has spoken and we are doing what we feel is best. Now, you’ve lost all your glory, so please leave the island immediately.

I was about to say you didn't count my vote when I realized, to my dismay, that I had not voted! Guess iI just dreamt that I had! Luckily - or unluckily - my vote would not have affected the outcome.

The fate of TMH does not speak well of my persuasive powers.

As for my vote, I stubbornly persist...

I cast my vote for Long Road out of Eden.

Pretty Maids All In A Row

[Funk 50]

I'm just voting for my least favourite, without considering how underrated a song may or may not be and I'm very fond of Pretty Maids All In A Row and Ol' 55. I'd like to see them challenging towards the end of the game.

I like Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise too. I actually heard the live version of Doolin-Dalton/Desperado, performed as one long track before I heard the album versions that open and close the Desperado album.

I still view Doolin-Dalton and Doolin-Dalton/Desperado reprise as incomplete tracks which spoils my enjoyment of them. I can see why they may have split the track for a vinyl record but the CD release could have included the two part tracks together. It'd make a perfect extra track (along with the extended versions of Outlaw Man and Tequila Sunrise)

Of the remaining tracks, my least favourite is Bitter Creek. No groove, no memorable lyrics, pleasantish tune in parts, has nice harmony vocals but which Eagles song doesn't?

I vote for Bitter Creek

[UndertheWire]

I'll cosy up to Soda for this round and vote for Long Road Out of Eden. It's the title track of their first studio album in 28 (?) years, it's 10 minutes long and it just doesn't live up to the hype.
