    I'm a sucker for the earliest stuff. "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Take It Easy" are hard to beat.

    That said, I'm a fan of many of their songs. It's hard to go against several as a fave.

    I was just about to add that. Big fan of Wasted Time too.

    Overlooked:

    On The Border

    Those Shoes

    Victim of Love

    They were ubiquitous in the 1970s when I was a teen. I've always had a low Joe Walsh tolerance, though. Can't fucking stand him.

    How about "One of These Nights"?

    Take It To The Limit is an excellent song which hasn't been played to death like many on this list. I second the mentions for The Last Resort, Wasted Time and Pretty Maids All In a Row.

    You nailed it there. Three great album cuts that didn't get AM-radioed to death.

    I used to own the On The Border album before selling it for food back in the day. It actually wasn't that bad. Wouldn't mind if I still owned it.

    Conversely, I also owned Hotel California, which is sort of the El Lay self-pitying precursor to the mother of all self-pitying, woe-is-me, tortured artist albums ... Pink Floyd's The Wall. Can't believe I liked either of those monuments to whining.

    Whatever food I got for selling Hotel California, even if it was just a stale bag of Chex Mix, was well worth it.

    And if Take It To The Limit was in the poll, I'd vote. I can live with Randy Meisner. Better still if In The City was included, which was originally a Joe Walsh solo song.

    "How Long."

    Probably because it was originally a J.D. Souther song. But I like their version better than his.

    We can all agree that the Eagles suck, but there's no reason to be slagging Pink Floyd up to and including 'The Final Cut.'
