It is not necessary to post as to why you voted the way you did, but it would be interesting to the rest of us.

Note - For your vote to be counted, you must check the box at the top of the thread. By just making a post to comment on your selection will not include that selection in the poll.

Tough call. Their best songs are pretty well spread-out across all albums. I'll have to think about it.

Has to be Hotel California for me. It may not contain much of the charm of their earlier work, but it was a bold step IMV, and the songs are mostly killers.

There was a thread in MD Mk. 1 about the meaning of the song Hotel California, it got quite interesting...

If you haven't already joined. Then make sure you do at: Music Discussion - Eagles

Being the New Kid In Town, and not being accustomed to Life In The Fast Lane, I will check in to the Hotel california, even though if you set me up with Pretty Maids All In A Row, I will probably just consider it Wasted Time and become another Victim Of Love, but I will Try And Love Again, although it may be at The Last Resort.

The Long Run. It was my 1st Eagles album, so I have a soft spot for it. Superb band.

I'm surprised at that, Ed.

Thought you'd be more in favour of their earlier albums...
