    Default Favourite Joe Walsh Songs

    In the same vein as the 'Favourite Glenn Songs' thread, I put together this thread to gauge everyone's favourite Joe Walsh songs across the entire panorama of his career--Solo/Barnstorm songs, James Gang songs, and Eagles songs.

    My own personal top 10:

    1. Turn to Stone("So What?" version)
    2. Help Me Through the Night
    3. Tend My Garden(James Gang)
    4. Walk Away(James Gang)
    5. In the City(Eagles)
    6. Rocky Mountain Way
    7. Life's Been Good("Eagles Live" version)
    8. All Night Long
    9. Rivers of the Hidden Funk
    10. Space Age Whiz Kids
    All carrot, no stick.

    "He's just another power junkie, just another silk scarf monkey. You'd know it if you saw his stuff. The man just isn't big enough."--Glenn Frey/Don Henley

    "You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue."--John Lennon/Paul McCartney

    Here's my top ten, but I confess I have another ten (or more) favorites that I like equally well. So this list is also a reflection of my current mood.

    1. Indian Summer
    2. Collage
    3. Life of Illusion
    4. Pretty Maids All in a Row (Hell Freezes Over version)
    5. All of a Sudden
    6. Rivers of the Hidden Funk
    7. In the City
    8. Tend My Garden
    9. Dreams
    10. Meadows

    This is from a few years ago, but it's just solo: https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...ead.php?t=2877

    Narrowing my 15 down to 10, and including Eagles and James Gang songs makes it harder, though! Unlike Glenn, I won't separate out the various groups since he has so few Eagles songs. Here we go:

    1. Pretty Maids All in a Row
    2. Help Me Thru the Night
    3. Turn to Stone
    4. Walk Away
    5. Funk #49
    6. In the City
    7. Rocky Mountain Way
    8. Welcome to the Club
    9. Life of Illusion
    10. Meadows
    Honorable Mentions to The Bomber and Rosewood Bitters

    I hate to admit this but I'm really not familiar with Joe's solo/non-Eagles work outside of the hits. (I plan to rectify this soon!) But I will say the 1976 Houston performance of "Turn to Stone" absolutely rocks!

    Hard to narrow his output to only 10 songs!

    Turn to Stone
    County Fair
    Collage
    The Bomber
    Midnight Visitor
    At the Station
    Country Fever
    Birdcall Morning
    Falling Down
    Funk 49

    If I never heard RMW or LBGTMSF again, it would be fine by me.

    I feel the same way about LBG, but I still enjoy RMW. I see your point, though! Regarding your list, I thought about "Collage" and "Falling Down" because I love their lyrics; if it had been a longer list they would have made it.
