I thought this would be an easier list to make b/c I simply love the Eagles. They’re probably my favorite band and first I saw in concert.
However, it was tough to pick a Top 5 with soooooo many good songs. The top few were easy but the last 1 or 2 were very tough.
Honorable mention:
“Already Gone” — fun, energetic song to crank up in the car
“Peaceful Easy Feeling” — soothing, beautiful, good to listen to while falling asleep
“Get Over It” — love it when they rock out a bit and they do in this one
“One Of These Nights” — a lil rock, a lil eerie with great singing makes for a very good song
“The Last Resort” — underrated song but very beautiful. It’s one of my favorites.
5. “Witchy Woman” — Maybe questionable, but it has all of the typical Eagles highlights - lil rock, lil high-pitched singing and great melody. Plus it’s a bit creepy and eerie. Overall, great song.
4. “Desperado” — This might be higher on other people’s lists. It was hard to drop it to #4 but that’s where it is. One of the greatest love songs ever! “The queen of hearts is always your best bet.” Gotta crank it up and belt it out.
3. “Seven Bridges Road” — Here’s my big surprise! However, anyone who knows the song and likes it - simply loves it! It’s very different from the rest but it’s AWESOME!! Starts out in acapella and then gently brings in what sounds like acoustic guitar. Maybe the best Eagles song to belt out very loud!!
2. “Take it Easy” — This could have been #1 and has a good argument for it. Can’t think of the Eagles and not think this one - maybe their first big hit or very close. It’s also one of the best songs ever to roll down the windows in your car, crank it up and sing while driving on a road trip. The song makes you feel good :) Plus, I need to visit Winslow, AZ, so I can stand on corner and take a picture of myself.
1. “Hotel California” — While the last one could be #1, let’s face it, this is the greatest Eagles song! Hotel California and Eagles go together like peanut butter & jelly. The very eerie melody and Don Henley’s voice make an incredible match. Throw in some sweet guitar riffs at the end and you’re rocking out but a lil creeped out by the song at the same time. I mean, after all, “you can check out, but you can’t ever leave.”
There is the list. Please comment and/or debate. What song would you have #1? Which one did I forget?
