    I think Randy may have been considered perhaps the best singer in the Eagles when the band started out. Also according to that In The Studio show, Nightingale wasn't originally supposed to be on the debut album, but David Geffen insisted that Henley had to have more than one lead vocal(he supposedly referred to Don as "Golden Throat"). Perhaps Nightingale pushed Get You In The Mood off the album.
    If Nightingale pushed Get You In The Mood off, that is interesting. I am biased, but I think Get You In The Mood is a much better song, no matter how 'politically incorrect' it is.

    I find it very hard to believe that Glenn would have turned down a songwriting credit, and as for not liking how it turned out, to me Witchy Woman is still one of the most awesome sounds they produced.

    Re Most Of Us Are Sad, it is one of only 3 Eagles songs I've heard 8 times on my iPod, which is the record at the moment (the other two are the live version of Lazy Days and Desperado). I have never been able to think of Glenn singing it. It doesn't sound like his song at all, although he wrote it, except perhaps for the 'I will sing you far away' line which I DO like to imagine.

    Long Road Out of Eden
    What Do I Do With My Heart
    Last Resort
    Desperado (especially the line "Your prison is walking through this world all alone" - gets me every time)
    Love Will Keep Us Alive
    How Long
    Take It To The Limit
    Peaceful Easy Feeling
    Life In The Fast Lane

    It's a VERY hard choice but at the same time it's a no brainer for me.

    Hotel California

    If you read the "how did you become an Eagles fan" thread (called something like that) you will find out why this song and even album is so special to me and a bit of my life story and how it changed me life and how it influenced me.

    I hear people talking about getting tired of hearing it or burning out, but I NEVER burn out on HC. It's my favorite song of all time. Not to forget my favorite album of all time, my favorite guitar solo of all time, and my favorite band of all time!

    In my opinion, that song is the greatest of all songs. From the lyrics to the guitars, it's a masterpiece song AND album. My favorite song and album by my favorite band! Obviously, the HC album is my favorite Eagles album!

    Ok OGG, let me get this straight: are you trying to say that HC is one of your favorite songs? I'm not real sure if that's what you're trying to say.....


    I think I'm trying to say it's my favorite song!

    That is a great song, but then there are so many great Eagles songs, which is why I would never be able to pick just one.

    And BTW - Welcome Gus. Glad you found us here on The Border. Have fun!
