Take It To The Limit is probably my favorite song from the Eagles. I love the high notes that Randy was capable of hitting. It saddens me that Randy hated having to sing it in concert and felt forced to do it. I don't know if he didn't realize just how good he was or if he hated being the front man. I wish that he could have enjoyed his performances more. However, there are many people in this world who don't want to be the center of attention. RIP Randy. I sure love you and your contribution to the music world. God bless ❤
From what I've heard Randy said the song was vocally strenuous and he was scared he would mess up the song Live. So, one night he just refused to sing and after an argument he left and was kicked out of the group
@mistyapril29 I have read about what happened that night. Randy singing "Take It To The Limit " would have been their 3rd encore. He refused bc he wasn't feeling well. When Glenn Frye insisted he sing it anyway, Randy poured a beer over Glenn's head. This is not the typical nice guy Randy was known to be. Obviously, he wasn't feeling well for whatever reason. It astounds me that Randy left and gave up any rights as an equal owner of the "Eagles ". He must have wanted out pretty badly to give up any royalties. IMO, Glenn was an egomaniac and caused many other issues including firing Don Felder. I'm certain that there are many other untold stories. I hope that someday, someone will speak the absolute truths and untold stories. Thanks for your comment 👍.
In interviews I've seen of Walsh and Felder, RM was suffering from some type of gastrointestinal problem (ulcers perhaps). In any case, I understand Meisner wasn't quite the "equal" partner that many assume, with Henley and Frey being more equal than the others. Given that Frey and Henley did the majority of writing I guess they have a good case. @@susanbrown4026
Best of my Love. When Randy’s nightingale voice sings in chorus “Sweet Darling” always makes my heart skip a beat, since I was a toddler! Rest in Eternal Peace, Sweet Darling 🙏🏼🕊️❤️
Saw them in concert when I was 16 in San Diego, I'm almost 61 now. It was a great concert, will never forget that great day. I'm a huge fan of the Eagles!
My daughter learned all the words to “Hotel California “ when she was only 4. I promised her that we would go see the Eagles in person. Of course, they broke up the following year. I got tickets for the “Hell Freezes Over” tour when they played in Charlotte. And they had to cancel it when Glenn Frey got sick. We finally got to see them and when the stage went dark the first three notes of “Hotel California “ rang out my daughter and I had tears in our eyes.
I had tears in my eyes too after their 14 year departure. Saw them in 1980 for the first time, and hoped and prayed for them to reunite. So if you are interested, I put Hotel California and One Of These Nights on here from the Sphere. Went on Oct.19th. Starts out with a blimp counting down the time to their opening number Hotel California. It was an awesome show! So awesome, I am going back in February!
John Boylan, who produced their 2nd album, was somewhat unimpressed with the group until one day during a break in the studio, he heard the group do their harmonizing exercise singing 7 Bridges Road a capella. He was struck by the harmony and told them that was IT...that was their sound. Those harmonies have been the key to their success.
@sundown l Great taste. I wish all teens and young adults were introduced to classic/soft rock as you were probably by older relatives and friends. My sons are 25 and 20 unfortunately neither took an interest even tho I play alot of that genre at home and in my car. 😏😑
The Eagles were probably the most talented overall band out there! They were all Stars in their own right Joe, Henley, Frye, Felder, Randy, Bernie, Timothy! They were All incredible!
I was just an East Coast kid from Florida that joined the military and found myself stationed far from home in Southern California when I first discovered the Eagles. When the narrator said that California is a state of mind, I understood that with this band. I fell in love with all the songs that take me back to those good ol days driving through the high desert, along the coast or stuck in traffic on the 405.
I'm only 17 but I've loved the eagles since i was no age. I only wish there was more music like this in today's society instead of the filth on our airways
Tragic that “I Can’t Tell You Why” and “Love Will Keep Us Alive” didn’t at least make Honorable Mention. Tim Schmidt is the reason why the 1994 reunion was even possible let alone actually happened. And those Tracks are badass!
@@earthlingsareinsane7193 Agreed. None of their post reuinion music was comparable to their 1970’s music. Get over it is also a pitiful attempt at songwriting
EAGLES, ARE ESP. MY BAND FOR--WAS IN MY 20'S AND STILL IS AS I APPROACH 70. EVERY SONG SO GREAT THAT IT STANDS ON IT'S ON....I HAVE A PIC OF ME YOUNG HEARING "I LIKE THE WAY THOSE SPARKLING EAR RINGS LAY AGAINST UR SKIN SO BROWN ".

Norwegian 68 years old bohemian here who is a huge fan of both The Eagles and Bob Seger. If I have to chose I guess it would be Seger but both are great!
Without a doubt, the greatest American rock and roll group...one hit sing after another..how do you pick a favorite? The list goes on and on.. they are the best concerts I have seen....
Jackson Brown wrote Take It Easy but got stuck on the 2nd verse. Glenn Frey wrote, “standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see, there’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin’ down to take a look at me” - arguably one of the most memorable lines of all time.
This band "Eagles" kept me going...especially during our excursions during the bush war in Africa... Especially when the song playing was " Takin it Easy. " Hahaha... I am in my 70's now and still enjoy their music...I compare them to the other band called " Styx " Just fantastic bands...
I have been listening to the Eagles from the start. I was a California original too. Listening to them in Steamboat Springs Colorado. Met them in California. I am 76 years old and still play their music all the time. I was devastated when they lost one member lost his long health battle. Love you forever Eagles!! No one can ever replace you in my😊heart. You music helped me through my stage 4 cancel battle.❤
@@halibut1249Absolutly, Randy sings, lead on this and his high octive falsetto voice he takes it to a climax twards the end in a raging glory! ....and also in One,of These Night Randy's high harmonizing faksetto voice just soars over the others and clicka,with Don Henlys lead vicals,on the song.
Best of my Love, not a top ten? Ouch! My favorite will always be, “Take it to the Limit.” Randy was my man! As a truck driver for 40-years, I still play that song when I’m rolling down the highway! I’ve read about Randy’s future since the band...no body I’d rather sit with over beers.
Essentially, I agree with your list, but there's a soft spot in my heart for "Peaceful Easy Feeling." One particularly magical night at Karaoke, when the room happened to be packed with professional singers and dancers (the Northwest Performing Arts Conference was in town), for some bizarre reason all these out of town Hot Shots (who had come in right after one of my songs and had never hear me sing) kept pestering the DJ to hear me sing (I wasn't due up again that night because it was getting close to closing time). She gave in. I was caught totally off guard and couldn't think of any song I thought I could do well enough for this elite crowd. All I could think of was "Peaceful Easy Feeling." The song brought the house down with a clap of thunder. I say "the song brought the house down" because there's no way what I did with it deserved anything like the response it got, but Daymn it felt good. Thank you Eagles.
Truly the greatest band of all time. Every single one of their band members were the lead vocals to an absolute classic. Ask 20 people their favorite Eagle’s song and and they’d probably give you 20 different answers. That’s how transcendent they are/were. No band can come close to having the number of sheer number of classics the Eagles have.
"I Can't Tell You Why" should have been on this list. That song and "One Of These Nights" had crossover appeal which got play on R&B/Soul radio stations (way back in the day). Not an easy feat, but the Eagles did it! 😎
Take it to the Limit!!! The best, Randy was such a great singer, never got the credit he deserved. He seemed so humble, no ego- just a sweet and kind man.
I Can't Tell You Why was one of my favorite songs by the Eagles and the only Eagles song I heard played on R&B stations when I was a kid. Sorry to see it didn't make honorable mention. Didn't find out about Hotel California until I was an adult listening to Soft Rock stations but I loved it the first time I heard it. So I agree that is definitely their #1 song.
Eagles were just beaming with talent in all of their lineups. It's amazing the body of work they were able to achieve throughout their careers. Fantastic music, great writing and awesome performers in a class of their own.
I saw the Eagles in 2015 in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was my third time seeing them in concert. The first time was on the Long Run tour in 1982. What struck me was that these guys sang the old songs like it was the first time they sang them. They still loved performing these songs after all these years. The first song was from their first album and they finished with Hotel California. Nearly three hours of the best music ever. Thank you Eagles!!@
My favorite glen rip you will won’t never be forgotten same as Randy. We will miss you you make me move feels real great. You are the most popular in the world world. Excellent voice outstanding performance. God bless you all . 👍👍❤️♥️
Probably the best American band ever. So many hits so much individual talent. I'm so lucky to have seen them this past summer. Good list but my number one will always be Take it Easy!!! I missed Randy though. His classic Take it to the Limit might be my #2. RIP Glenn "Shake it, bake it, take it easy"
Traveling for work, once went 100 miles out my way, just so I could " stand on a corner in Winslow Arizona"❤, and at 3am driving thru endless empty stretch between NM, and West Tx, Hotel California came on❤Started singing , Windows down, nobody else on the road,belting it out with the record...flashing blue lights.😞Speeding ticket ! No, sir not drinking, just singing to " Hotel California!" , well , ok then, keep it under 70! That's the power of the EAGLES!❤😇❤😇❤
Similar , Driving from Cleveland back to Saint Louis MO . Doing 98 In a 70 . Running in a 20 pack of cars trucks and 18 wheelers . Still hearing Don singing 'Driving with your eyes closed . I asked why me. ? His response was ,You're the one that stopped .
When you think of why this is true America, think it was the blend of Henley (Texas country) and Frey (Detroit Mo Town) which became the California sound! Think of that! Amazing!
My ALL TIME favorite song is.........Take It To The Limit!!!!! For some reason, it brings me to tears. Maybe it's the way Randy sings it, I'm not sure. But to me it's the best song from them
Leaving work as weekend admitting clerk, one Sunday was stuck in a snowstorm in the hospital parking lot. Heard this song for the first time on my car radio. Loved it that first time and every time since.
Nothing compares to this down home laid back made in the USA music and the name the EAGLES, fly high and soar, make me feel proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!
@Christopher Ryan Curtis because people dont usually expect people (well at least people ive met) 40 years and younger to like "oldie bands" I for one am a 20 something who grew up as a fan of the Eagles,CCR,ACDC,Bread,KISS etc because my parents being children of the 60s,products of the 70s listened to them. My father being the huge fan he is actually was one of the 1st people in line to purchase "Hell Freezes over" when it was released on cassette. Maybe that's why he stated his age..but then again maybe he felt it made him important.
My dad raised me on true classics, CCR, Eagles, petty, etc. and honestly that’s the best gift I think my dad could have ever given me unlike my sister who loves modern rap and that stuff. It’s not pure and it’s not real music and doesn’t get you in the soul like eagles.
I'm Scottish and my go to holiday song whether in USA, Europe or wherever is Take It Easy...if I hear that song I'm done, relaxing somewhere RIP Glenn xx
I can not understand why Randy Meisner didn't want to do "Take it to the Limit" in concert, was a beautiful song and so well done by him, probably my favorite song of the Eagles, though many were so good it's hard to say for sure.
It is a beautiful song and should be much higher on this list. It’s also very difficult to sing and Randy may have been afraid that he wouldn’t sing well. It’s too bad, but thankfully TH-cam has a video and it’s incredible.
Yes, Randy couldn’t always hit the high notes and it gave him anxiety. It was a fan favorite in concert and they liked to use it as an encore. Randy left the band after an argument back stage with Glen Frey when he refused to sing the song on a night when he didn’t think he could hit the notes.
New kid in town was the only Eagles record I bought and of course my favourite. I appreciate them more as I get older. Such great singers....R.I.P. Glenn Frey ❤
''Look at us baby up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who live through years in the dark Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay And I can't tell you why ...'' .... i can't tell you why..
You can say that again.....without Felder it wouldn't have been written, Don Felder wrote the music to Hotel California before the lyrics were put to it!
It’s impossible to pick a single favorite. The Eagles laid down the soundtrack of my life. Every song meant something in one stage or another. I often felt like they knew me.
"I can't tell you why" was a favorite featuring bass player Timothy and covered later by Vince Gill on a tribute album. The guitar solo is amazing by itself not to mention Timothy high notes and vocal range. Surprised not on here! Also "Best of my love" big hit topped the charts.
I have driven many thousands of miles to the tune of Eagles songs over the years! And one nice thing about listening while driving is that no one can hear me sing along!
you could through these 10 songs in a hopper and pull them out one at a time in any order and no one could argue with the choices. All of them are great and each one brings its own set of memories.
"Desperado" is my pick....both as song & classic Album. Bought it & played it throughout my first year at Art College, Manchester. Eng. Still my favourite album of all my Eagles collection. Loved playing & singing harmonies with my brother Eamon who unfortunately passed away in Nuremberg a few weeks ago....miss his guitar accompaniment & wonderful harmonies to so many, many songs like these. Rip Bro.🕯
My favorite is Seven Bridges Road. Great list. Too many great songs for a top ten listing. Maybe a top twenty five. R. I. P. Glenn Frye, you will be missed.
The Eagles have too many great songs, including those forgotten ones: "Victim of Love" "Outlaw Man" "Already Gone" (it's been mentioned at some point tho) "I Can't Tell You Why" (how could you forget this one??) "Best of My Love" "In the City" "Those Shoes"
Ron Sharer The Long Run is a pretty underrated album imo. It wasn't made in the best conditions, and thus it had mixed reviews at the time of its release, but it has a lot of gems.
There is no doubt that The Eagles is my absolute favorite band. Admittedly part of that has to do with original band member, and bassist Randy Meisner. Randy is my age and was born and raised 6 miles from where I lived in Western Nebraska. I never knew him personally, but frequently would go to listen to his very popular regional band, The Dynamics. I don’t know why Randy left the Eagles at what I thought was the peak of their success, but he returned home to Mitchell NE, and the farming life. Whatever you might say, Randy Meisner has talent.
TonyTheTigerBB yeah what pissed me off was Newsweek did a three or four page article and David Bowie when he died he was British was not that great not that many hits and hear one of the greatest bands in the world barely even a little tiny article about Glenn Frey piss me , they could’ve done a whole magazine cover about the Eagles A lot history there. No stupid democratic papers .
ALL EAGLES SONG ARE AWESOME HOWEVER LYING EYES IS MY FAVOURITE. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF EAGLES FOR GIVING SO MANY HAPPY MOMENTS WITH YOUR AWESOME YET DOWN TO EARTH SONGS AND LYRICS.
It’s hard to choose a favorite off each album, it’s practically impossible to choose a favorite song out of them all. Some days it’s Ol’ 55 that gets me going. Sometimes it’s One of These Nights. Other days it’s How Long. But one thing is for sure….they are the best band of all time.
My faves #10: One Of These Nights #9: Desperado #8: Peaceful Easy Feeling #7: The Long Run #6: Take It To The Limit #5: Witchy Woman #4: Best Of My Love #3: Heartache Tonight #2: Hotel California #1: Life In The Fast Lane
Those Shoes, Last Resort, Pretty Maids All In A Row, After The Thrill Is Gone, I Can't Tell You Why, There's Gonna Be A Heartache Tonight, Best Of My Love, Rocky Mountain Way, In The City and my favorite: Wasted Time.
Rocky Mountain Way wasn't an "Eagles" song. But you list a lot of great tunes! I love Last Resort. I used to live in SoCal and I miss so much when I hear that song.
my top 10 list- number 1 (take it to the limit ) 2 ( the last resort ) 3 ( Hotel California ) 4 ( lying eyes ) 5 ( take it easy ) 6 ( desperado ) 7 ( victim of love ) 8 ( new kid in town) 9 try and love again) 10 ( one of these nights )
10 0:52 Lyin' eyes 9 2:12 Tequila sunrise 8 3:19 New kid in town 7 4:29 Take it to the limit 6 5:48 Peaceful easy feeling 5 7:08 One of these nights 4 8:14 Life in the fast lane 3 9:23 Desperado 2 10:32 Take it easy 1 12:37... Try to guess 😉 11:45 Honorable mentions You are welcome ✌️
Greatest band ever !! Still love to listen to them. I was 14 when I first heard them! Still love them to this day!! Brings back so many Great memories with my friends sitting around in my room listening to them. Boy what great times !! Still makes me smile when I hear them sing!! Best times of my life,!!!
It's crazy when I hear an Eagles song, I'll automatically know what comes on next after that song. You know, on the album. This is even when I haven't heard their album in a long time. That goes for alot of other bands as well.
One Of These Nights SHOULD be at the top IMO- The FEEL of that entire album is just SO cohesive, synchronous and symbiotic- and it makes me feel like ALL the current members at the time it was recorded were at the top of their games(their heads were all in the right place at that moment) and complimenting each others strengths as musicians/bandmates. This much 'individual' talent in one place has a 'shelf life' of, well, NOT very long LOL, yet this album feels to me, moreso as they BELONGED together and it translates into what I think is about as close to a 'flawless' album as it got. As if the band was there for a single reason... to make the BEST MUSIC possible for their audience to enjoy hearing. Just my 2 cents...

Eagles were the best incarnation of American popular music. Country roots, rock attitude, and those harmonies!
It’s sad because most modern kids may never get to hear this music and appreciate as much as some :(

@@TheSenatorSam you under estimate how diverse our generation is. (Gen Z)
The Eagles is one of the few bands in history where all band members have their own hit song, its a rarity to see bands with such talent all together.
Yeah, but unfortuately, some of them clashed with each other. So much for those egos.
@@maryaltshuller885you’ll see it in any band in history . Nothing new nothing old
More like queen where band members write their own hit
Except Bernie Leadon, who ironically may be the most musically gifted member of the group. I guess you could count Witchy Woman which he co-wrote.
@@marcusbradley4399I’d argue Train Leaves Till Morning is one of their best songs…
Take it to the limit is my number 1 by far for me .. Randy Meisner voice is very soothing and he’s very humble man .
RIP Randy
Totally agree!
Rip
RIP Glenn and Randy. Thanks for the wonderful music and memories
Randall Herman Meisner (March 8, 1946 - July 26, 2023) was an American musician, singer, songwriter and founding member of the Eagles
He’s up in heaven harmonizing with Glen Frey right now. They are making new songs just waiting for the rest of the band.
75 years old I am They don't have groups like this anymore
The Eagles were probably the most talented overall band out there! They were all Stars in their own right Joe, Henley, Frye, Felder, Randy, Bernie, Timothy! They were All incredible!
Thank you for mentioning Timithy! Love all the band but he is an awesome singer also...
I think the only reason Seven Bridges Road wasn’t on here is cause it’s a cover
Erik Meisner had the best sounding vocals. Surprised you didn’t mention him.
Yeah.
This band represents one of those times when all the stars and planets come into alignment and,..
Not quite the Beatles, but closest American band to them.
I was just an East Coast kid from Florida that joined the military and found myself stationed far from home in Southern California when I first discovered the Eagles.

One particularly magical night at Karaoke, when the room happened to be packed with professional singers and dancers (the Northwest Performing Arts Conference was in town), for some bizarre reason all these out of town Hot Shots (who had come in right after one of my songs and had never hear me sing) kept pestering the DJ to hear me sing (I wasn't due up again that night because it was getting close to closing time). She gave in. I was caught totally off guard and couldn't think of any song I thought I could do well enough for this elite crowd. All I could think of was "Peaceful Easy Feeling." The song brought the house down with a clap of thunder. I say "the song brought the house down" because there's no way what I did with it deserved anything like the response it got, but Daymn it felt good. Thank you Eagles.
“One of These Nights” is probably my favorite song song from the Eagles. The guitar is is amazing 😍
Mine too. Don Felder's guitar work IS amazing! He's a first-rate, class-A player who never got his due.
Truly the greatest band of all time. Every single one of their band members were the lead vocals to an absolute classic. Ask 20 people their favorite Eagle’s song and and they’d probably give you 20 different answers. That’s how transcendent they are/were. No band can come close to having the number of sheer number of classics the Eagles have.
Best songs of the 70’s RIP Randy ❤️👍👍
"I Can't Tell You Why" should have been on this list. That song and "One Of These Nights" had crossover appeal which got play on R&B/Soul radio stations (way back in the day). Not an easy feat, but the Eagles did it! 😎
Exactly, those two are actually my favorite songs... and they didn't make the list???
One of these nights made it. Number 5.
I absolutely agree!
Love this band! Nothing can replace talent such as these guys. No digital b.s., just talent...
otherworldlycosplaye agreed
Me to

Well said.
RIP Randy! We will continue to take it to the limit
So True !! 😢⚘
My favorite is "Take it to the limit"
Such a great voice of Randy Meisner! ❤❤❤
His voice just seemed ethereal to me. My soul seemed to leave my body.
Hotel California will never be forgotten. 1 million years later, the song will still be played.
"Take it to the Limit" hands down the best of anything !!
Randy meisner sang that song The Best as lead hands down
Yup the 76 version by meisner
@@firewfire 1977 Capital Center!
Lyin' Eyes is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Lyrically their best song.
Reminds me of eleanor,thanks for the memories.
Definitely much higher than 10!
Absolutely.
Their best song in my opinion.
I grew up listening to Eagles music...it always brings back fond memories whenever I hear their songs. RIP Glenn Frey...thank you for the music.
Absolutely love the eagles, best band ever in my books
Couldnt agree more and anybody would be damned to try tell me otherwise!!!:-)
TOTALLY.
Take it to the Limit!!! The best, Randy was such a great singer, never got the credit he deserved. He seemed so humble, no ego- just a sweet and kind man.
2/7/23
The Eagles are my favorite group. Loved Randy Meisner’s “Take it to the Limit”
I loved take it to the limit one more time. His voice is so beautiful and I can't get enough of this song
Hello Nancy how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
One of my favorites is "Try and Love Again." I love Randy Meisner's voice and lyrics.
I love that song.
Great song! My all time favorite Eagles song. ❤
My God that boy could sing the hell out of a song!
I Can't Tell You Why was one of my favorite songs by the Eagles
and the only Eagles song I heard played on R&B stations when I was a kid. Sorry to see it didn't make honorable mention. Didn't find out about Hotel California until I was an adult listening to Soft Rock stations but I loved it the first time I heard it. So I agree that is definitely their #1 song.
Best American Rock Group Ever
🦅♥️🌟💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🎸🎸🎸🎸🌟🥁🥁🥁🎸🌟🎹🎹🎹🎹🎤🎤🎤🎤
You got that right 👍
Eagles were just beaming with talent in all of their lineups. It's amazing the body of work they were able to achieve throughout their careers. Fantastic music, great writing and awesome performers in a class of their own.
I can’t tell you why. Another great song not mentioned. There will never be another band like them.
The Last Resort is a seriously underrated song. Musical genius... absolutely love it, especially the live rendition in Hell Freezes Over 1994.
Ditto Ditto Ditto!
Moves my heart ❤️
i was going to say where's Last Resort on that list?
@@heresynco 😂❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉
The Sad Café is good too...
I saw the Eagles in 2015 in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was my third time seeing them in concert. The first time was on the Long Run tour in 1982. What struck me was that these guys sang the old songs like it was the first time they sang them. They still loved performing these songs after all these years. The first song was from their first album and they finished with Hotel California. Nearly three hours of the best music ever. Thank you Eagles!!@
WOW, YOU WERE VERY LUCKY TO SEE THEM LIVE.
Top 10 does not do this group justice, they need a Top 20. Probably the only group in America where each band member could lead his own band!
One of them
Greatest band of all time
Exactly talent all around
Not only could they..each one DID lead their own ban.
They’re a boring band with some good songs
Randy had one of the best voices and this song by him is a classic. It really moves me every time I hear it.
What an awesome band. One of my all time favorite bands, RIP Glenn.
This thing transports you back. Just memories.
My favorite glen rip you will won’t never be forgotten same as Randy. We will miss you you make me move feels real great. You are the most popular in the world world. Excellent voice outstanding performance. God bless you all . 👍👍❤️♥️
Probably the best American band ever. So many hits so much individual talent. I'm so lucky to have seen them this past summer. Good list but my number one will always be Take it Easy!!! I missed Randy though. His classic Take it to the Limit might be my #2. RIP Glenn "Shake it, bake it, take it easy"
Jackson Browne wrote Take it Easy
Traveling for work, once went 100 miles out my way, just so I could " stand on a corner in Winslow Arizona"❤, and at 3am driving thru endless empty stretch between NM, and West Tx, Hotel California came on❤Started singing , Windows down, nobody else on the road,belting it out with the record...flashing blue lights.😞Speeding ticket ! No, sir not drinking, just singing to " Hotel California!" , well , ok then, keep it under 70! That's the power of the EAGLES!❤😇❤😇❤
Living in Arizona, I've had to go up Route 66 a few times. Always made sure we went up to Winslow so we could stand on that infamous corner.
Similar , Driving from Cleveland back to Saint Louis MO . Doing 98 In a 70 . Running in a 20 pack of cars trucks and 18 wheelers . Still hearing Don singing 'Driving with your eyes closed . I asked why me. ? His response was ,You're the one that stopped .
The Eagles...a timeless masterpiece!! 👍
Take It to the Limit is only 7th? Seriously??? Randy kicks major ass on this. What a gorgeous voice!
Should be number 1
So True !! 😤💕
One of the best and most talented bands ever. EVER!!!
THE BEST EVER, THE BEST EVER.
Glen was so cute when he was young and no slouch when older either... R.I.P. GLEN .....LOVE ALL THEIR SONGS
When you think of why this is true America, think it was the blend of Henley (Texas country) and Frey (Detroit Mo Town) which became the California sound! Think of that! Amazing!
My ALL TIME favorite song is.........Take It To The Limit!!!!! For some reason, it brings me to tears. Maybe it's the way Randy sings it, I'm not sure. But to me it's the best song from them
It's awesome! Reminds me of couple skating at the roller rink in 6th grade, lol.
Leaving work as weekend admitting clerk, one Sunday was stuck in a snowstorm in the hospital parking lot. Heard this song for the first time on my car radio. Loved it that first time and every time since.
Gill and frey did a great version just not on meisners level. He even messed up in the 76 dvd but its still by far the best
Nothing compares to this down home laid back made in the USA music and the name the EAGLES, fly high and soar, make me feel proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!
16 years old and I know this is one of the greatest bands ever, and my personal favorite.
Christian C wow I'm impressed you really know good music my man.
George Sanchez thanks dude
@Christopher Ryan Curtis because people dont usually expect people (well at least people ive met) 40 years and younger to like "oldie bands" I for one am a 20 something who grew up as a fan of the Eagles,CCR,ACDC,Bread,KISS etc because my parents being children of the 60s,products of the 70s listened to them.
My father being the huge fan he is actually was one of the 1st people in line to purchase "Hell Freezes over" when it was released on cassette.
Maybe that's why he stated his age..but then again maybe he felt it made him important.
My dad raised me on CCR, Johnny Cash, Eagles Etc. I was/am a KISS fan during those years. 55 and rocking
My dad raised me on true classics, CCR, Eagles, petty, etc. and honestly that’s the best gift I think my dad could have ever given me unlike my sister who loves modern rap and that stuff. It’s not pure and it’s not real music and doesn’t get you in the soul like eagles.
The Eagles are one of a kind.Too much talent in a a group.
I'm Scottish and my go to holiday song whether in USA, Europe or wherever is Take It Easy...if I hear that song I'm done, relaxing somewhere RIP Glenn xx
I can not understand why Randy Meisner didn't want to do "Take it to the Limit" in concert, was a beautiful song and so well done by him, probably my favorite song of the Eagles, though many were so good it's hard to say for sure.
It is a beautiful song and should be much higher on this list. It’s also very difficult to sing and Randy may have been afraid that he wouldn’t sing well. It’s too bad, but thankfully TH-cam has a video and it’s incredible.
Yes, Randy couldn’t always hit the high notes and it gave him anxiety. It was a fan favorite in concert and they liked to use it as an encore. Randy left the band after an argument back stage with Glen Frey when he refused to sing the song on a night when he didn’t think he could hit the notes.
New kid in town was the only Eagles record I bought and of course my favourite. I appreciate them more as I get older. Such great singers....R.I.P. Glenn Frey ❤
''Look at us baby up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren't we the same two people who live
through years in the dark
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can't tell you why ...'' .... i can't tell you why..
The Eagles are the best American band ever.
Hotel California and Lying Eyes............. the best group in the world EVER..... seen them twice, will never forget RIP Glenn Frey 🙏
Hello Janet how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
"Love will keep us alive" the unforgetable song of the band
And hotel california
So True. 😤💕
Frey, Henly, Leadon and Meisner, was a super combination. But without Felder and Walsh the Hotel song would probably not be the same.
It would never have been an Eagles song at all.
And probably a lot of other hits...
Agree with you 💯 on this one.. Hotel California showcases these two men's talents! 💯♥️🎸👨🎤
You can say that again.....without Felder it wouldn't have been written, Don Felder wrote the music to Hotel California before the lyrics were put to it!
Hotel California is fantastic only with Felder and Walsh on guitar solos. Without them together it is not & never will be the same.
One of these nights will always be my favorite
Without "I Can't Tell You Why", I don't agree to your selection. In every concert, people always wait for this song.
Hotel California is your number 1 simply because of don felder’s amazing guitarwork!
Eagles is easily one of the all time top bands in the world!
Agreed! Also "love will keep us alive" Timothy Schmitt
Miss Glen Frey beautiful voice! No more wonderful voice have i heard!
I wholeheartedly agree.
It’s impossible to pick a single favorite. The Eagles laid down the soundtrack of my life. Every song meant something in one stage or another. I often felt like they knew me.
Hello Connie how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
"I can't tell you why" was a favorite featuring bass player Timothy and covered later by Vince Gill on a tribute album. The guitar solo is amazing by itself not to mention Timothy high notes and vocal range. Surprised not on here! Also "Best of my love" big hit topped the charts.
I have driven many thousands of miles to the tune of Eagles songs over the years! And one nice thing about listening while driving is that no one can hear me sing along!
Hello Diana how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
RIP Glenn. Thanks for the tunes
RIP
Thanks for all the tunes R.I.P Glenn frye
May Glenn Frey rest in peace. I saw the Eagles live in 2013. It was a great concert.
🙏🙏🙏
I'm with you there. R.I.P Glenn
I love all they music, i do believe every song got a message on them. Greatest band ❤
you could through these 10 songs in a hopper and pull them out one at a time in any order and no one could argue with the choices. All of them are great and each one brings its own set of memories.
Never get tired of listening, RIP Glenn
Seven Bridges Road! The Eagles had such a pure harmony.
Great song, but I believe it was a cover
Yeah!! That's written by Steve Young!!
@@frankbrunetti2109 yeah it was like a folk song but they kill it there in a good way
@@frankbrunetti2109 really!!!? This is news to me I was about to comment where the fuck it was!
Hello Kimberly how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
"Desperado" is my pick....both as song & classic Album.
Bought it & played it throughout my first year at Art College, Manchester. Eng.
Still my favourite album of all my Eagles collection.
Loved playing & singing harmonies with my brother Eamon who unfortunately passed away in Nuremberg a few weeks ago....miss his guitar accompaniment & wonderful harmonies to so many, many songs like these.
Rip Bro.🕯
Y’all are straight up SNORING on I Can’t Tell You Why and Best of My Love... those songs are some of the best songs of any artist period
we're on the same page than, because I think the same thing!!!
Nobody snoring they just have too many to list
My favorite is Seven Bridges Road. Great list. Too many great songs for a top ten listing. Maybe a top twenty five. R. I. P. Glenn Frye, you will be missed.
+Kevin McMullin, Sr That should have definately made the list.
7 bridges road is my grandmothers fave song.
+Nightmare Girl it's a great song.
+Nightmare Girl You're grandma is pretty awesome then.
LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE IS MY FAVORIT...
The Eagles have too many great songs, including those forgotten ones:
"Victim of Love"
"Outlaw Man"
"Already Gone" (it's been mentioned at some point tho)
"I Can't Tell You Why" (how could you forget this one??)
"Best of My Love"
"In the City"
"Those Shoes"
That's a great list you made there. almost forgot those shoes. great song.
Ron Sharer The Long Run is a pretty underrated album imo. It wasn't made in the best conditions, and thus it had mixed reviews at the time of its release, but it has a lot of gems.
in my own opinion. already gone is the best rock song in history
Highly underrated song. While not my favourite Eagles song, it's definitely in my top 5. I use it as my ringtone.
Antoine Mouthon how about 'Love Will Keep Us Alive'? :)

Hello Debra how are you doing today happy 😊 new year god bless you as you wished..
For me Glen Frey’s voice is the most wonderful voice I’ve ever heard! I really miss Glen Frey!
"I can't tell you why" should have been on the list. My all time favorite.
Mine too !! 😤💓
There is no doubt that The Eagles is my absolute favorite band. Admittedly part of that has to do with original band member, and bassist Randy Meisner. Randy is my age and was born and raised 6 miles from where I lived in Western Nebraska. I never knew him personally, but frequently would go to listen to his very popular regional band, The Dynamics. I don’t know why Randy left the Eagles at what I thought was the peak of their success, but he returned home to Mitchell NE, and the farming life. Whatever you might say, Randy Meisner has talent.
Miss you Glenn Frey! One of the best! Great songwriting and great arranging! Hot and cool. An enigma. Heart of America.
Glen Frey is simply irreplaceable! May his soul rest in peace!
RIP Glenn Frey. 🙏🙏
Rip Glen. Absolute legend
If you go to Winslow, AZ you’ll see the corner in Winslow, AZ just because of “Take it easy”
@TradeWinds On The Bay absolutely. Deacon is really fucking great. Well done, Glen. Your legacy lives on through your brilliant son.
His son is doing a Hell of a job . You can hear his dad in the songs .
one year ago today Glenn Frey died in new york R.I.P he will forever be missed.
Rest in peace GLENN, you were the best 😢💖
God speed Glenn you he changed my life that’s for sure
TonyTheTigerBB yeah what pissed me off was Newsweek did a three or four page article and David Bowie when he died he was British was not that great not that many hits and hear one of the greatest bands in the world barely even a little tiny article about Glenn Frey piss me , they could’ve done a whole magazine cover about the Eagles A lot history there. No stupid democratic papers .
ALL EAGLES SONG ARE AWESOME HOWEVER LYING EYES IS MY FAVOURITE. THANK YOU TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF EAGLES FOR GIVING SO MANY HAPPY MOMENTS WITH YOUR AWESOME YET DOWN TO EARTH SONGS AND LYRICS.
It’s hard to choose a favorite off each album, it’s practically impossible to choose a favorite song out of them all. Some days it’s Ol’ 55 that gets me going. Sometimes it’s One of These Nights. Other days it’s How Long. But one thing is for sure….they are the best band of all time.
My faves
#10: One Of These Nights
#9: Desperado
#8: Peaceful Easy Feeling
#7: The Long Run
#6: Take It To The Limit

Those Shoes, Last Resort, Pretty Maids All In A Row, After The Thrill Is Gone, I Can't Tell You Why, There's Gonna Be A Heartache Tonight, Best Of My Love, Rocky Mountain Way, In The City and my favorite: Wasted Time.
Rocky Mountain Way wasn't an "Eagles" song. But you list a lot of great tunes! I love Last Resort. I used to live in SoCal and I miss so much when I hear that song.
Siggy Mueller Pretty Maids is one of my favorites. It just can't be beaten. Joe Walsh is one great songwriter
Siggy Mueller I like the mouth guitar thing
Siggy Mueller. Rocky Mountain way was Joe Walsh solo. In,the city was Glenn Frye solo I believe
Siggy Mueller bravo!

Greatest band ever !! Still love to listen to them. I was 14 when I first heard them! Still love them to this day!! Brings back so many Great memories with my friends sitting around in my room listening to them. Boy what great times !! Still makes me smile when I hear them sing!! Best times of my life,!!!
It's crazy when I hear an Eagles song, I'll automatically know what comes on next after that song. You know, on the album. This is even when I haven't heard their album in a long time. That goes for alot of other bands as well.
: )
Hon mentions: On The Border 1974, Ole ‘55 1974, James Dean1975.
I can't tell you why desarved to be in top 10.
One Of These Nights SHOULD be at the top IMO- The FEEL of that entire album is just SO cohesive, synchronous and symbiotic- and it makes me feel like ALL the current members at the time it was recorded were at the top of their games(their heads were all in the right place at that moment) and complimenting each others strengths as musicians/bandmates. This much 'individual' talent in one place has a 'shelf life' of, well, NOT very long LOL, yet this album feels to me, moreso as they BELONGED together and it translates into what I think is about as close to a 'flawless' album as it got. As if the band was there for a single reason... to make the BEST MUSIC possible for their audience to enjoy hearing. Just my 2 cents...
