So...if LROOE had been released as a single disc album...

[Mrs Frey]

Right. It's about time I get around to this topic, and as difficult as this choice is, I'm going to give it a shot. Here goes:

1. How Long (Glenn & Don)
2. What Do I Do With My Heart (Glenn & Don)
3. I Don't Want To Hear Anymore (Tim)
4. Guilty Of The Crime (Joe)
5. Waiting In The Weeds (Don)
6. No More Cloudy Days (Glenn)
7. Fast Company (Don)
8. Long Road Out Of Eden (Don) - can't leave this out: it's the title track!
9. Somebody (Glenn)
10. I Love To Watch A Woman Dance (Glenn)
11. Business As Usual (Don)
12. Centre Of The Universe (Don)
13. It's Your World Now (Glenn)

I think it's reasonable to make an album 13 tracks long. Glenn's "Strange Weather" has 15 tracks (albeit that three of them are short instrumentals), and The Beatles' albums mostly consist of 14 tracks each.

Note: it pained me to leave off "You Are Not Alone" and "Frail Grasp On The Big Picture" - I've really grown to love the latter song.

Katherine, I had to laugh when I read your wish to "rule" the Eagles. Girl, I think we ALL would like to rule the Eagles!

[Glennsallnighter]

Nice selection MF!

I'd like the Eagles to 'Rule' Me too! Actually one Eagle in particular could 'Rule' me all he liked

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay, this is going to be very hard for me because, like FP, I like every song on both CDs. But, let me give it a try ...

1. How Long
2. What Do I Do With My Heart
3. Guilty of the Crime
4. Waiting In the Weeds
5. Do Something
6. Long Road Out of Eden
7. I Dreamed There Was No War
8. Somebody
9. Frail Grasp of the Big Picture
10. Last Good Time In Town
11. I Love To Watch A Woman Dance
12. Business As Usual
13. It's Your World Now

Well, I couldn't keep it to 12 songs. If I have to cut one, it would be Do Something, but that's only because it's on the F1 bonus CD. I included it because I didn''t want to be without a Tim song. I guess I could have cut a Joe song, but I'd have to flip a coin to decide which one because I love both of them.

I know I'm quoting myself here, but, I was browsing this forum looking for something else when I came across this thread from over a year ago. I was appalled when I saw my post and realized I had left off You Are Not Alone. It had to be an oversight on my part because I loved that song from the moment I heard it. Since I never meant to leave it off in the first place, I immediately thought "I have to fix that". I also thought it may be interesting to see if others who had responded have changed their opinions on any of this or maybe some of our newer members may want to weigh in here. For the most part, my list now doesn't change that much, but I have changed my mind on a few songs after over a year of retrospect. So here is my revised LROOE single, 12-song disc ...

1. How Long
2. What Do I Do With My Heart
3. Waiting In the Weeds
4. Do Something
5. You Are Not Alone
6. Long Road Out of Eden
7. I Dreamed There Was No War
8. Somebody
9. Last Good Time In Town
10. I Love To Watch A Woman Dance
11. Business As Usual
12. It's Your World Now

Guilty of the Crime
Long Road Out of Eden
Do Something
Waiting in the Weeds

[TimothyBFan]

Wow-Good topic-I must have missed it the first time around so I will contribute now.

No particular order

1. How Long
2. Waiting In The Weeds
3. No More Walks In The Wood
4. Do Something
5. Guilty Of The Crime
6. Fast Company
7. I Don't Want To Hear Anymore
8. Somebody
9. No More Cloudy Days
10. Frail Grasp Of The Big Picture
11. Business As Usual
12. Last Good Time In Town

[Freypower]

Not easy, because I love the whole album, but:

1. How Long
2. What Do I Do With My Heart
3. Waiting In The Weeds
4. Do Something
5. You Are Not Alone
6. Long Road Out Of Eden
7. Somebody
8. Frail Grasp On The Big Picture
9. Last Good Time In Town
10. I Love To Watch A Woman Dance
11. Centre Of The Universe
12. It's Your World Now

I left out NMCD for the same reason Soda did.

Quoting myself here, I would probably now leave out Last Good Time In Town, but that would leave Joe without a song, so I can't. If I could I would add Business As Usual, and that would be the only change.

[Prettymaid]

As a Joe Fan, I can't help but notice that most people are opting for Last Good Time in Town rather than Guilty of the Crime. I love LGTIT and once again wish that Joe would do it live on this tour.

I'll get back with my list - good topic!

[sodascouts]

For me - I'm sticking with my original list.

[Maleah]

Hmmm.....I would have the following:

1. How Long
2. Busy Being Fabulous
3. Waiting in the Weeds
4. What Do I Do With My Heart
5. Guilty of the Crime
6. I Don't Want to Hear Any More
7. Long Road Out of Eden
8. Somebody
9. Center of the Universe
10. You Are Not Alone
11. Business as Usual
12. Last Good Time in Town


*I left off NMD, Fast Company, and Do Something because they were all included on the previous bonus cd. If they had not been included before, I would have had them on this cd taking the place of #'s 10, 11, and 12.

I'd stick with my original too unless I decided to include "No More Cloudy Days" and "Fast Company." If that where the case, I would insert them in the 11 and 12 slots and bump out BAS and LGTIT

[Glennsallnighter]

Its great to reopen a topic like this and see how our attitudes to and preferences for different songs have changed. That said, I still don't think I'd change my basic selection.
