    The Boys Of Summer

    It is more interesting to listen to as a song (even though I have always considered the central metaphor somewhat clumsy) & I've seen it played live so often. I only saw THOTM performed once. I like it but I don't have a great emotional attachement to it.

    I'm voting for The Heart Of The Matter for the win.

    Exquisite, heartfelt, relatable, thought-provoking, soul-baring... IMHO it truly represents the Very Best of Mr. Henley.

    I vote for Heart of the Matter to win..... I think it is the most beautiful song and Don sings it with such passion. But that aside, and the theme of the song is one I feel everyone should live by.

    BOYS OF SUMMER for the win!!

    Whenever I hear it, it immediately brings me back to the mid-80's-- and a particularly memorable, relatively carefree summer!!

    Heart of the Matter FTW. Looks like my late vote for BOS wouldn't have been enough anyway.

    There's no doubt in my mind....

    THE HEART OF THE MATTER FTW.

    This is the kind of song that's not only beautiful and heartfelt, it can make a difference in people's lives. Don says this is the song he gets the most letters about. There's a reason for that. If I'm in the right mood, I get choked up listening to this song. As well-crafted as The Boys of Summer is, it doesn't move me on a deep, fundamental level. The Heart of the Matter does.

    I hope Boys Of Summer wins. It's my 2nd favorite Henley song. It is got great guitar licks. I'm sad Dirty Laundry left so fast. That's probably my favorite Henley song. But I like the more rockin' stuff and distortion and guitar solos. The solos on that song by Joe and Steve Lukather are fantastic. Rock n' roll!

    I was sad to see EOTI go, but it makes my final vote easier! I vote for The Heart Of The Matter to win. The lyrics are raw and beautiful, and they really do provide comfort in hard times. One of Don's true masterpieces.

    Frankly, I'm surprised that The Boys of Summer has gotten this far along in the game. This is a song, I feel should have been gone weeks ago. to me, there is just nothing special about it.
    TEOTI should be in this final.......To me that song is the most reflective, brilliantly written & is the masterpiece of Don's catalog....

    That said, my next favorite, & my vote is THE HEART OF THE MATTER for the WIN!
