Eagles Song Survivor: One of These Nights

[scottside]

I vote for "Journey Of The Sorcerer."

[DivineDon]

I vote for I wish you peace - it just seems so weak IMO

[AlreadyGone95]

I really like Journey of the Sorcerer. It's different and unique. While I love the Eagles' beautiful harmonies, Journey of the Sorcerer is one cool instrumental song, imo.

[Funk 50]

Visions. I can't find anything to like about Visions. All the other tracks have, at least, a couple of redeeming features.

I'm more certain than any other Survivor I've partaken in that I know what the final two songs standing will be (coincidentally I've always thought that by quite a long way the OOTN album has the biggest gulf in quality between the three singles and the rest of the album).

I vote for Too Many Hands.

Hollywood Waltz, although it's not that I hate it. It's a nice song, but it drags too much, I think.

Visions has the worst Eagles guitar riff, but otherwise it's a nice song. I'm not a big fan of After The Thrill Is Gone either. Don's chorus reminds me too much of the "Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy" melody/chords. I Wish You Peace doesn't work as an Eagles song, but I love it.

But yeah, if I have to pick one song, it's Hollywood Waltz.

I wish you peace

My vote goes to I Wish You Peace. It's pleasant enough and the sentiment is very nice but as an Eagles song I think that it's one of their weakest. I feel that the song is slightly overproduced, and the strings were unnecessary here (where the strings on Take It To The Limit make that song more powerful, on IWYP I feel they make it a bit sappy). Bernie's guitar solo is good but it needed to be highlighted more, I think it gets overwhelmed by the strings and keyboard parts. If the song was performed as an stripped-back acoustic guitar song (like Most Of Us Are Sad) I would probably like it a fair bit more. I have to be honest here and say that sometimes I stop this album once After The Thrill Is Gone ends.

I can sympathise with tlr's comments - I personally find I can split this album into three groups of three songs. To me there are the three singles, all of which are extremely strong Eagles songs and fully deserve the praise they get, there are another three songs which I like a lot and I consider to be underrated, and the final three I find a bit 'meh' and are among the Eagles songs I play least often. I do like this album quite a lot as a whole, but I myself don't think it's as good as Desperado or Hotel California.

No question for me here, Journey of the Sorcerer.

I prefer to hear the guys beautiful harmonies. I've never cared much for instrumentals.

[UK TimFan]

I vote for 'Visions'.
