Coming in this moring I head my all-time favorite Eagles song on the radio - Seven Bridges Road.
I love it. Always have. The song is too short and always leves me wanting more.
It is without a doubt the best song the Eagles ever did (IMO).
Take it Easy would be second.
What do you think is the best?

Agree completely with this, with "Wasted Time" a very close third.

Gram Parsons was the master of SoCal country-rock. The Eagles are like Gram Parsons dipped in the semen of a meth dealer from Riverside, rolled in sticks and seeds of bad weed, sprinkled with chunks of cocaine and deep-fried in a vat of stupid. No thanks.

So, you're saying you don't like the Eagles that much?


I'd go with WitchAY woman.
 
Seven Bridges Road. I went to Afghanistan with a guy who'd play it 50 times every time we walked into a bar.
 
The Sad Cafe is my favorite Eagles tune.
One of These Nights is right there, too.
After the Thrill is Gone is good, too.
 
Jesus, if you don't like the Eagles, this is an optional thread...

Yeah, there are a lot of songs that should be on that list.
Wasted Time, for one..

Great call. I see your "Wasted Time" and raise you a "Pretty Maids All In A Row."

Peaceful Easy Feeling, but I also dig Sad Cafe, Wasted Time and Already Gone.

This is the most righteous post ever.
 
As far as a rocking song, I'd go with Life in the Fast Lane. As far as a more mellow song, I've really gotten into I Can't Tell You Why the past few years.
 
I'll say one thing for the Eagles, if they didn't make it so big, I never would have been turned on to Gram Parsons. That guy was a stud. But who's to know he wouldn't have become a commercialized, self-important sell-out if he ever kicked drugs. He might have a theater in Branson with his name on it if he survived or even worse, be a judge on Nashville Star.

Two people voted for Get Over It? Holy ****, do you not have ears?

I'm one of them. I'm in one of those "**** you you ******* piece of ****" moods today.
 
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.
 
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 ****ing stand him.
