My Eagles Compilation

I also included well-known Eagles solo works, though this would likely never happen on a real compilation, for obvious reasons.

2. What are five songs I omitted (Eagles or Eagles solo) that you feel I should have included, in order of strong suggestion? Explanations are not required, but greatly appreciated.

Hi, LouisianaEaglesFan, welcome to the board.

1. Your compilation looks really interesting. It looks like you included at least 4 tracks from each album (except LROOE) including popular deep tracks.

2. IMO, some omitted songs are Glenn and Randy’s solo songs. I would include I Found Somebody, Smuggler’s Blues and/or After Hours; also Gotta Get Away and Never Been in Love by Randy. I would possibly add Deep Inside My Heart except I don’t know about including duets on compilation albums. I noticed you didn’t include any of Henley’s duets. Heavy Metal (Takin a Ride) would be a nice and not too predictable addition.

3. Songs I would omit: Funk 49 since that is a James Gang song; Love Will Keep Us Alive and Girl From Yesterday (2 songs I simply don’t care for, the former weakens the band’s rock cred); No More Cloudy Days (I like it ok but there are better songs from LROOE e.g. Waiting in the Weeds). I would probably get rid of Hole in the World too and replace it with the Grammy-winning instrumental I Dreamed There Was No War.

Anyway, overall a nice compilation!

Thank you so much Delilah...I can see myself possibly getting rid of Girl from Yesterday and Hole in the World, and possibly replacing No More Cloudy Days with I Don't Want to Hear Anymore...however, I can't see myself getting rid of Funk #49...I meant to word it at the top of the thread that James Gang works (as well as any projects from Walsh or other Eagles) are just as viable as solo projects...Smuggler's Blues is also one I can definitely see myself adding, in order to add another Frey solo work.

I largely like your list except for the songs chosen from LROOE. I think how long and Waiting in the weeds should be put on but otherwise good list

How Long is on there...however, Waiting in the Weeds seems more popular than I thought...I may have to include it in place of No More Cloudy Days...

Songs I would have included:

Good Day In Hell
King Of Hollywood
Smuggler's Blues
Part Of Me, Part Of You
Waiting In The Weeds

Songs I would not have included:

Please Come Home For Chirstmas
Funky New Year
All Night Long
Funk #49 (or if you have to have it, it should not be the opening track)
Sunset Grill

I am one of the people who loves the criminally underrated No More Cloudy Days & I'm glad you included it.

You seem to have complied it strictly chronoglogically & I'm not sure that it works given the way the solo tracks are mixed in with band tracks. Therefore I can only rate it about 6.

[LouisianaEaglesFan]

Thank you FreyPower...I will definitely have to consider re-ordering the tracks in some form, since I can definitely see that working better with the solo and other band works in...

I definitely have Smuggler's Blues and Waiting in the Weeds at the top of my add/replacement list, since they appear to be quite popular here on the board. I might put Smuggler's Blues in place of All Night Long. Another song I might add is King of Hollywood, since I had it on the original track list, but it was trimmed along with I Don't Want to Hear Anymore.

As for removals, I can definitely see Funky New Year and All Night Long going. Please Come Home for Christmas is one that could very well go also, but sentimentally, I'm not sure I can remove the one Christmas song. However, for reasons I earlier stated, I'm not sure about Funk #49...also, it was an early Joe Walsh classic that was very popular (though I could maybe replace it with Walk Away)...not sure about Sunset Grill either, since it is quite an underrated Henley hit.
