> [@Lukeinva](#): > > Boys of Summer (love the line…“wayfarers on, baby”) Pretty sure that’s a Don Henley solo effort. Speaking of Don Henley, for some reason this sticks in my mine - decades back I saw him in concert, and was rather impressed by a sharp looking Tango he danced with a female singer to the outro of “Hotel California” ---

Another +1 for Seven Bridges Road. In fact, Siri, play Seven Bridges Road. ---

No love for their last album, “Long Road Out of Eden?” “No More Walks in the Wood.” “How Long?” “Busy Being Fabulous.” Right now I’ve had “What Do I Do With My Heart?” running through my head the last few days. One of their trademark soft slow tunes full of loss and longing. Don’t get me wrong. I have all of their albums and I love the balls out rockers like “Get Over It” and “Life in the Fast Lane.” But I’m also a sucker for their tight harmonies on songs like “Hole in the World” and “No More Walks in the Wood.” There are just too many good ones for me to name. ---

“Hotel California,” followed by “Lyin’ Eyes.” For all their other songs, I’ve either gotten sick of them or never liked them in the first place. ---

Either “Pretty Maids All in a Row” or “The Last Resort” for me. ---

Sad Cafe and Walsh’s In the City. Boys of Summer, I am pretty sure is not Don Henley solo, but Glenn Frey. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > Madame Pepperwinkle would use “Desperado” as theme music if she appeared on a talk show (unlikely). My favorite is “Seven Bridges Road”, but I’m a sucker for harmony. LOL! My husband and I have this discussion about the talk show too (he claims I “ain’t goin’ on Carson; Mike Douglas _maybe_” My husband is so cute). My theme would be “Midnight Train to Georgia”, but these two songs are my favorite Eagles songs. I prefer Seven Bridges Road slightly over Desperado because I, too am a sucker for a harmony. We had an Eagles spin ride at the gym - no Seven Bridges Road, Desperado or, pbta, Hotel California, which I hate. ---

Yes, totally. From “Building the Perfect Beast.” Although the Eagles will perform some of the members’ solo hits in concert. ---

I’ve never been a big fan, but I’ll never skip over “Those Shoes” when it comes up on the playlist. ---

Peaceful Easy Feelin’ I Can’t Tell You Why I did enjoy the documentary. I was in jr. high and high school when most of their stuff came out and it was nice to have their perspective on the tunes I grew up with. ---

I think it’s a toss-up between Seven Bridges Road and Already Gone. ---

“Heartache Tonight” "Hotel California is a great song, too, but is vastly overplayed. ---

For me, it’s a three-way tie between “Desperado,” “Hotel California,” and “Take It to the Limit.” I never get tired of hearing those songs. They could put 'em in endless rotation on the radio and I’d tune in. ---

“Take It Easy” is the one Eagles song I really, really love. I’m not sure why, but I connect it to a particular time in my life c. 1995-1996 that was pretty important in my development as a person. ---

Another vote for Seven Bridges Road. Already Gone is probably a distant second, but it’s a long way off. ---
