    Default Eagles Song Survivor: One of These Nights

    Time for our next Song Survivor! Our album for this game is One of These Nights. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview.

    I'm going to list all the songs on this album. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for the one you think should GO, not the one you think should stay.

    Note: Do not criticize how/why other people vote. Their reasons are their own and they are free to vote however they like. Also, never attack a fellow poster. You can disagree without making it personal. Sometimes these games can get heated, but remember... it's still just a game.

    Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

    Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Once the board clock strikes 8:00 pm Eastern on the second day, no more votes will be counted for that round - even if it's only seconds after. Your votes also cannot be changed once you have voted, even if you change your mind or make a mistake. Once it's on the record, that's it - so be careful!

    If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

    If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared. The exception is the last round. If the tiebreaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

    In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.


    Game Over!

    The winner is


    One of These Nights

    Songs Eliminated:
    I Wish You Peace 7/29
    Journey of the Sorcerer 7/31
    Visions 8/02

    After the Thrill Is Gone 8/08
    Take It to the Limit 8/10

    Thanks for playing and hope everyone enjoyed the game.

    One of These Nights is my second favorite Eagles album, and I at least "like" all of the songs on it. That being said, I have a standout least favorite song, so this round I vote for I Wish You Peace

    Now comes the challenge of ranking the remaining songs!

    I also gotta go with I Wish You Peace
    People talking about us they got nothing else to do. When it all comes down we will still come through in the long run.

    I like "I Wish You Peace". It's a simple song, sung beautifully and Bernie's swansong.

    For me, the clunker of the album is Visions and that's where my vote goes.

    My vote goes to "Journey of the Sorcerer."

    IMHO, it sounds so out of place on the album. The Eagles never struck me as an instrumental band. Their trademark vocal harmonies are the strongest musical point throughout their catalog.

    I love the oddity of Journey of the Sorcerer. I wasn't so keen at first, but later on, when it was used as the theme for the radio* version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it grew on me.

    *It's only the radio show that used the original Eagles track. For the tv show, the cheapskate BBC recorded a cover, presumably so they didn't have to negotiate synchronisation rights with the band. And then a third recording was used for the movie. Bernie must receive songwriter royalties from all these versions.

    I vote Journey of the Sorcerer. I find it out of place too & I find it too lengthy. I probably would enjoy an abridged version.
