Timmothy Vs Randy

[travlnman2]

Which bassist do you prefer in the Eagles Timothy or Randy?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First of all, tm2 - I hope you don't mind, but I corrected the spelling of Timothy's name in the poll. It's kind of a sore spot around here with some of his fans to see his name misspelled so often.

And TBH, I can't really choose a favorite. I think both of them brought their own specific talents to the band. As Timothy himself said in his R&R HOF acceptance speech, Randy was with the band in the trenches and contributed a lot in the early years. However, it seems obvious to me that Timothy's personality and talents were better suited to go the distance with the band in the long run (pun intended).

I'm with Dreamer on this. I honestly can't choose. Both are immensely talented, and have contributed alot to the band during their tenure. Song wise and vocally, I lean more toward Randy, but I still love Tim. I can't judge their bass playing much because I can't play. Personality- wise, both seem to warm, kind, sweet, and gentle.

So, again, I can't choose.

I agree with you guys but I think it is disrespectful to Randyr to not be included in the Kennedy center honors based on his contributions

[Ive always been a dreamer]

tm2 - The Kennedy Center solely decides who their honorees are whether we agree with their choices or not. There is another thread on the board with an extensive discussion about the band being honored, which also includes comments regarding the exclusion of the band's former members. Here is the link to that thread if you are interested in commenting further ...

Thanks guys for your help . I have conflicting opinions but as i read more it will clear things up

I'm a Randy guy. I love his voice. I love a lot of his Eagles songs. As for bass playing, I can't decide. Both of them do/did their job perfectly.

I can't vote here either and agree with what dreamer and AG already said. They both brought their own magic to the band!

[NOLA]

Count me in with the rest of the Borderers who do not wish to make a choice.
Both Randy and Timothy are legendary bassists who have each made their own distinct mark on the Eagles' musical legacy.

[WalshFan88]

Neither. And by that I mean, I'm not making a choice.

I really love the later years of the band with Walsh on board, so there was two 70s records, one with each player. I don't have a favorite. I love what Randy did, I love what Tim did and still does. I can't see Tim singing TITTL, and I can't see Randy singing ICTYW.
