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

    ...which 10-12 songs would you have kept? We know that Don didn't want it to be a double album. That got me thinking this morning about which ones I would have put on a single disc album if I ruled the world (or at least the Eagles - and, damn, I wish I ruled the Eagles...sorry I was daydreaming there... ). Here are my picks:

    1 How Long
    2 Busy Being Fabulous
    3 What Do I Do With My Heart
    4 Waiting In The Weeds
    5 No More Cloudy Days
    6 Do Something
    7 Long Road Out Of Eden
    8 Frail Grasp On The Big Picture
    9 Last Good Time In Town
    10 Business As Usual
    11 Center Of The Universe
    12 It's Your World Now

    If we could only stick with half of the original 20, I'd leave Business As Usual and Do Something off of it.

    Good question, Katherine. I'm going to have to think about this one though.

    Hmm, this is tough, but I'll give it a shot!

    If I were to make it a single disc, I would include...

    1 How Long
    2 Busy Being Fabulous
    3 What Do I Do With My Heart
    4 Waiting in the Weeds
    5 Do Something
    6 You Are Not Alone
    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 Center of the Universe

    The only reason I don't include NMCD is because we've heard it on Farewell 1 - otherwise it totally would have been on there!

    But there are so many good songs that I had to leave off this list - this exercise really makes it clear why Glenn insisted on a double album. With a single disc, too much quality material never sees the light of day. I mean, if one includes the song Long Road Out of Eden, that alone takes up 15% of a single disc!

    Great idea for a topic Katherine. There have been several times that I have meant to put my favourites on a single disc anyway. I'll give it some thought and get back

    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.

    If it was totally up to me as a kind of fantasy album I would include

    1. How Long
    2. Busy Being Fabulous
    3. What do I do with my Heart
    4. I don't wanna hear any more
    5. No More Cloudy Days
    6. Do Something
    7. You are Not Alone
    8. I dreamt There was no War
    9. Somebody
    10. Last Good Time in Town
    11 I Love to Watch a Woman Dance
    12. Its Your World Now.

    I included NMCD as it wasn't on any others of their audio albums although it is on F1

    Realistically though I know that there is too much Glenn bias in that and that Joe and Don are hardly represented. A more objective selection would probably be as follows

    1. How Long
    2. Busy Being Fabulous
    3. What do I do with my Heart
    4. I don't wanna hear any more
    5. Waiting in the Weeds
    6. Do Something
    7. Fast Company (My daughter loves it!)
    8. Long Road out of Eden
    9. I dreamt There was no War
    10. Somebody
    11 Last Good Time in Town
    12. Its Your World Now.

    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.

    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 Anymore
    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.
