This is pop culture your book.

On this show, we pick pieces of pop culture that were important to us in a given year.

We then discuss our memories and dig into those movies, album shows and more.

I'm brad, I'm pete, and give all right, and we've been We've been giving back to the fans all month.

Here, we're gonna We're gonna finish it off tonight.

All we do is give, give, give, It never stops.

You think they're happy with us?

I sure, I sure hope they are.

Yeah, I do want to be happy with them.

What do you think of that?

I'm just kidding.

I'm happy.

I do want to put out a disclaimer that so two weeks ago from this episode, we put out our Metallica, which we really enjoyed, had a great time doing.

But for some reason, we are aware the sound was really shitty and we don't know what happened and we don't know what to do about it.

So hopefully tonight will be better again and we'll be back to more of the norm.

But we aren't aware of it.

We we do accept it.

We didn't think that, you know, you did not notice we were doing our best here.

Yes, we received any complaints about it, though, I don't think right.

Not really, but who's going to complain?

It would be pretty rude.

People are nice for the most part.

Yes, in this country of course.

Right now, everybody's so nice.

Everybody correct, all right, Well, last week we had a wonderful time with Coming to America.

We're back to one More Music one tonight because we put out a poll in July asking about polarizing artists from our original episode on Coldplay when we drafted our polarting art polarizing artists, and the winner of that meaning your favorite band who's polarizing, meaning the least polarizing, was you two.

And we've already done the Joshua Tree.

So because we've already done that, we didn't want to do another YouTube right away.

So we picked, just like we did with Coming to America, which came in second to die Hard, we are going to do Eagles, which was the runner up to YouTube because a lot of people like Eagles and they're not Eagles.

No.

Just I just want to clarify, so the Big Lebowski might have something else to say about it, but we are here to give praise to a band that I think we all love and it's not polarizing to us at all.

Yes, your hand up, Gifford, you were going to say something.

Well, of course you've said in the past, but I don't remember which band member was adamant.

About Don Handley.

I believe I'm it's eagles.

It's just hard to just say.

You're very hard, like you know, what's what is your favorite eagle song or that whatever.

But they do have a tour the History of the Eagles.

It's not history of Eagles, it's named History of the.

See and that would be confusing too because that sounds like you're gonna go learn.

About birds, correct, but the the is not capitalized.

Oh okay, see, there you go, so we can say the Eagles the eagles.

Yes, it's not the eagles.

Exactly as a grammar guy, an English teacher.

I love that.

It makes total sense to me.

So we're okay with it.

And I'm looking at my screen right here.

Like the band, it doesn't say the Eagles, it's eagles.

That's that's what it is.

First, watch the Cowboys play Eagles the other night, boy.

I also, did you see the Chiefs play Eagles?

They took it to the limit.

Yes, they did, all right, Well, I always ask you guys to go first.

I'm gonna go first tonight.

I'm you know, why not switch it up just like in the bed all So for me, Don Henley was my introduction.

I was a huge fan growing up with Don Henley in the eighties.

I loved The Boys of Summer.

I loved his solo work.

A couple of the first CDs I bought were Building the Perfect Beast in the End of the Innocence, and so at some point I learned he was in the Eagles, and it like blew my mind.

And I don't know if I just learned it or if I saw like the video for Hotel California where he's there singing and I'm like, hey, that's that's Don Henley.

So I knew him first, and then of course I connected Glenn fry To, who I also knew growing up in the eighties, especially from The Heat Is On and again one of the So I bought a bunch of Don I bought a whole bunch of CDs, you know, because you got the BMG, you bought all those CDs right away.

So I did buy both Don Henley CDs, but I also bought the Eagles Greatest It's Volume one, like one of the first ones I bought, and then not long after that, I bought Volume two.

And this is really when I actually learned about the Eagles.

Like when when I got Volume one, I had never heard the song take It Easy.

Actually, I was like fourteen, fifteen years old, and I'm finally like, that's a great song.

You know.

I knew Hotel California.

I knew Heartache Tonight from the second one there, but I didn't know a lot of that first Greatest Hits album.

I love them both.

I've listened to them both consistently throughout the years.

My favorite songs change over time, like of course it used to be Hotel California.

I'll talk about some others tonight, but there's there's different songs that I think are like my favorites now and it's kind of gone through a metamorphosis over time, but it's always good.

They're also good.

And listening to this tonight was just it was like I've listened to Eagles a lot, but like it was so lovely to listen to these songs like all in one playlist and just remember how like freaking beautiful some of them are it's just amazing.

So who wants to go next?

I'll go next.

I just want to say last week off air, when we were deciding what we're gonna do for tonight's draft, I suggested we draft crossover bands, and you guys mocked and ridiculed me and saying, what they don't qualify, this doesn't count as a crossover band.

I don't remember any mocking country rock, remember it was.

It was not mocking ridicules.

It was just you guys.

I remember saying, we're not sure how to define that and it would be hard to do.

Fought for it, and I'm like, well, was I missing something when I said that?

But everything that in my research defines them as a crossover country rock band.

So I just had to throw that out there quick.

I mean.

Research, I'm not prepared for it.

That I didn't like it anyway, But what I was saying is that there we've talked about on this show before.

There are a few songs, Elvira being one of them that sit in my memory bank as like the first, uh you know, the first recollection I have of music on the radio.

Alvira, you know some of the Eddie Eddie Rabbits, songs I Love a Rating a Rainy Night.

The other one that stands out is Heartache Tonight is like, this is like one of the first songs I can ever remember hearing.

I would also argue that there might be other bands that you know, I like listening to.

I would you know, I would put as my favorite band.

I will die on the hill and say that Eagles are the greatest band of all time as far as being musically talented.

And you know, they are just so pure, so musically talented and knew what they're doing, and it was it was authentic, which you never see in anything anymore.

That's for sure, just the authenticity of the music and the songs banger after banger.

There's hardly a bad song at all that they have.

I listened to a couple of their other albums on my ride home.

I was out of the town of the weekend, and it was just so good and so much fun, and I loved it.

And I will say, uh, one of the When my dad passed away five years ago, in the last few months leading up to it, one of the conversations that we had, you know, I was sitting down with him.

We got to talking about music, because he was a musician back in the seventies.

I said, if you could go back and go see any band or artist in concert, what would it be?

And the first thing, without hesitation, he said it would be he said, the Eagles.

But I'm gonna say, how do you say it?

Right?

Right?

But so not only do they appeal to us as you know, middle aged people, but younger people, but they appealed to multiple generations really well as well.

So goodn't as it usually does.

Yeah, yeah, And just like how well they can sing, as is demonstrated in some of these songs that we're about to listen to or to talk about, and and just how fun these songs are from start to finish.

Well, based on what you just said, that's I'm just even more shocked that neither of you picked one of the songs that I picked that we are going to talk about.

You just described like my number one song right there.

Well, I think I know what you're Yeah, I'm sure you do.

We'll get there pretty soon.

First off, I'd like to apologize to the band that starts and ends every episode of ours as far as best band ever in the universe.

But I can't I can't really disagree.

I mean, I would say Eagles are are are certainly up there for all of us.

I love Brad's point of like he came into the Eagles from the solo artists with Henley and Fry.

Of course, these guys started four years before we started, so a lot of their stuff was out before we even were born.

The fun thing, one of the fun things also about this episode tonight is, of course the Eagles were massive in the seventies.

We don't cover the seventies here on pop Culture Yearbook because we go for twenty twenties.

So this is a fun episode.

That's the other great thing about doing these kind of you know that beat different episodes that we that we do is you know we we are.

I mean, if you want to say confined to forty years as being confining, but you know this is this is where we dip into the seventies and get into this music.

And I mean the greatest Hits one and two is where I know Eagles music from.

I mean, good Lord, everybody had that album or both both discs for that and it's just amazing music over and over.

And when we put together this playlist for tonight, the three of us came together with ten songs each.

We kind of had them ranked, and we were gonna put together a playlist of what ten.

We had so much crossover there, we said, let's just put everybody's song in there, and we came up with fourteen because.

Anyway, and I did, by the way, rank and I did go through our how we had him rank when we talk to each other, and I did list out kind of how they fell out from Okay, most popular as far as how we ranked it to least sure.

I will say you mentioned you mentioned it's this is the first time we really dip into the seventies.

Of all of these songs we picked, only one of them is from the eighties, and that that was nineteen eighty was Seven Bridges Road, And other than that, you're right, everything was in the seventies.

I do also want to mention I mentioned earlier that my dad was he had his own bands, multiple bands in the seventies.

The latest one that he was in was actually called Tequila Sunrise, and that band is actually still going today with two of the original members.

I believe they've got some new people and everything along the way, but the Bandakila Sunrise is still.

Going wow, So that's awesome.

And of course they did they did cover that song that was their uh kind of trademark song that they covered.

Sure.

One of the things that I through this research, you know, looking at all the songs, just to reiterate how you know, Brad always generally says, well, you always picked the most popular stuff just because you that you want to win or whatever.

But that's what I know.

You don't pick it because you want to win.

You pick it because that's what you know and it means So.

When we did our our rankings for these lists, my top three just happened to be the most played songs that the Eagles do in live concerts.

Of course, Classic Gift.

I mean, it's not like I do.

It's awesome.

We should mention in true fashion, my top two Eagles songs neither one of you had on your top ten.

Let collect, yes, yes, which.

It just speaks to how how good they are.

But I think you both love the songs.

You just getting him on your list, you know.

And there's so many good ones that just to say ten is is tough to just whittle it down to.

Yeah.

All right, So we got a few little things to say about the band here.

First, I think, you know, again, most people know who Eagles are, but you called them crossover pete and they were a country and kind of pop rock fusion.

But when my research called it the easy going California sound, that's that's what they were began by Don Henley, Glenn Fry, Bernie Leidon, and Randy Meisner, the original crew, and it's you know, it's it changed a little bit over the years, but the biggest change, at least for me, was because I like this guy was Joe Walsh and and he brought a lot of credibility to the band for the people who maybe thought they were way too light and easy going.

I've read things about how people critics refer to like their live shows.

It's like it's there's four corpses standing on the stage.

They didn't do anything but Joe Wall she's a rocker and he's a great guitar player, and so they brought him in and he added something to the band.

And then Don Felder was another famous Eagle who was came in as well.

They're famous for a lot of fighting and arguing.

Of course, the famous quote was when you're you gonna get back together?

When Hell Freeze is Over.

And then when they did eventually get back together, they called it the Hell Freezes Over Tour.

And that's so funny to me too, that the way time changes as you get older.

Because they broke up in what like eighty yep, and that tour was ninety four.

It was only fourteen years later, and it felt like because we of course we weren't even born when they were like, you know, big, but like it felt like they had been gone for so long, and that'd be like a band now breaking up in two twenty eleven, which just doesn't seem like that long ago at all.

But alright, but when you go from four to eighteen in our live span, like that's a right right, right, pss some difference.

Yeah.

So Volume one is one of the biggest, if not the biggest I've kind of seen, is both selling records of all time.

I think it's hard to really quantify anymore what's number one overall, but it's always been one of the top ones.

Of course, they have haters.

That was made immortal by the movie The Big Lebowski, which we did an episode on.

But just like Coldplay had that line in the forty year Old virgin like that must mean these are great bands in some way, because how else could you put a little pop culture reference like that in there that sticks unless everybody knows what you're talking about.

So they finished second, and I want to give you and anybody listening, I'm gonna mention this maybe five times tonight.

There is a current band that I signed concert just last November that is one of my current favorite bands.

And if there is a modern day Eagles band, it is this band.

They are called the Wild Feathers, and they have some of the almost most beautiful harmonies you've ever heard in your life.

They like the Eagles, they have three to four actually lead singers.

They were all lead singers and other bands who came together and created this band.

So they you go to the concert, there's four guys in the front of the stage and each one of them sing.

They sing one line after another in different songs.

It's and then they sing together.

It's incredible.

And so if you are looking for a modern day Eagles, and after you listen to this tonight you know you're in the mood for it, please check out the Wild Feathers.

They are absolutely awesome.

And I would start with the album Greetings from the Neon Frontier.

They're all good, but that's the one that's they're going to give you the most Eagles feel to it.

I know, Gifford, you don't listen to new music, but I really think you should check them out well.

And with an Eagle being, of course a wild bird, you'd have wild feathers.

With the crossover, the crossovers all over the place.

Think we should get into a lot more crossover talk.

We should do that for a draft, right, Everyone's like, Oh, yeah, that's amazing.

That's what we could have done.

Lends itself across.

We got a good draft.

Ever, we got a good draft tonight.

Do you guys have any other details in the band or things that you were going to share.

I did have a couple of things.

I just wanted to if I can find them here.

I just wanted to mention that they Oh, go ahead.

I thought it was going to take you a minute there, so I was gonna fill the end of time.

But you mentioned they were known for fighting and arguing.

I thought you were gonna mention, Uh, there was a famous like hotel.

They totally ransacked the hotel room one time, and I think they got they were throwing stuff out the window into the pool area and that kind of stuff.

That's one of the famous Eagle stories.

But yeah, they they liked they liked to party.

They let the party.

One of the things I want to point out sold over two million records worldwide, and one hundred million of those just domestically.

So it really shows their their ability to just find that audience and have their music just be so so widespread.

What we want to.

You're I'm so sorry about that.

Let's get on with it.

Then I say that is that it?

And you answered right away, yeah, so I thought you heard me.

We What we did is we each went through and we shared our like top song, second song, look for crossovers, and so these are in the order that we basically threw them at each other.

They're not in the order of like what became our number one overall or whatever.

But it made for a more kind of like you know, just random playlist.

That way, we could say this is the four Tina Essential Eagles songs.

Yeah, it's not a number one, there's not a number two.

There's no order here.

Not really.

We did.

We did make one tiny switch to the last two songs, so then we ended with a banger.

But other than that, yeah, which.

All right, But anyway, against want to listen to me, I'm the polarizing band.

Part will come in at the end of the place.

We're gonna be fighting, just like this is gonna We're gonna break up and then we're gonna read and Gifford.

Are gonna be Don Henley and Glenn forr tonight.

Oh boy, alright, and I'll just be cool Jie Walsh in the background.

There you go, all right.

The first song was Pete's number one song, and he already alluded to this by the band he mentioned it is Tequila Sunrise.

Every night, one down by.

Geez, I mean, and it's so beautiful.

The harmony is right off the bat.

That ooh's in the background, which you don't hear.

They're not loud, they're not in your face, but they're there and they're beautiful.

This is a song I was a really big fan of when I first got this album.

It's so relaxing, and I got some more to say about it.

But Pete, why don't you go first because you picked this song overall.

Well, this song, there's there's a few songs that we have picked here that we're going to talk about that are just absolutely beautiful and uh, you kind of took the words out of my mouth there, but uh, it just is so soothing to listen to.

It's it's very emotional powerful, and I think it it gives you such great visual effects.

You know, as you're you can just imagine what what this song is about when he's going through all that stuff.

So it's just it's just so good.

It compares.

We're going to talk about Desperado, but this is draw there's a lot of parallels.

To that song, which is just a beautiful song.

Nobody's going to be surprised, like what Desperado's on this list.

No, So the song shut Shut Up.

I Got So this came out in nineteen seventy three.

It's their first single off their second album, and this only reached number sixty four, which you know, their first album is in the Kids, So pretty low charting for a song that you'd think maybe by this time they'd be automatic twenty six on the Adult contemporary, so a little higher there.

And this is interestingly one of the first songs that Don Henlingle and fr I collaborated on.

So the first album was more like individual, but they kind of realized, hey, we should write songs together, and this is one of the ones that they did right off the bat.

One of my favorite lines in the song is take another shot of courage, which came from that they were like nervous to talk about women, which being big you know stars two women.

Yeah, sorry that you'd think, you know, these cool rock guys like they'll just do whatever.

But like they they talked about how they were nervous to talk to women, and that line kind of fit into that there.

So I'm kind of the same way.

Actually, you know what, now, I make women nervous when I'm around women, get nervous, but not in.

The way that you think, no, no, oh my god, you'll not know.

Yeah, I just have smooth guitar and vocals, lovely mandolin.

This was one that Fry said it was kind of Roy Orbison, kind of Mexican, and of course that's where you throw in the you know, the heel into this.

They thought it was kind of hokey.

There were to be a little hokey because the drink tequila Sunrise was extremely popular at this time, so that, well, are they gonna be a little kitchy or you know is people are gonna roll their eyes at this, but really, you know what it is is it's you know, you're up all night sitting at the bar and drink a tequila and you see the sunrise come up, of course because you've been at it so long.

But it's just an.

Absolutely beautiful song.

I think it's a great way to kick off the playlist, and Pete uh has an excellent number one for his choice here.

It's a nice way to ease thank you.

So now we're gonna be onto my number one, which was the song I referenced a few minutes ago that I couldn't believe is the one that we're talking about, considering all the things that he just said.

Mine is seven Bridges.

Road, and.

Sometimes that's the dum from me.

Rendon.

I just I just love That's not I mean that that song is all harmony.

It's just guys singing with some great pickin once it picks up too, some great pickin in the background too.

But these are some of the greatest harmonies of all time to me, like and as a live version, it's like it couldn't sound any cleaner.

It's just amazing how good.

You've talked about how talented they are.

I mean this this song shows that to me.

And I don't remember if you guys remember this, but I feel like one of the first places I ever heard the song.

I mean it probably had the CD already, but I swear that our friend Ryan Hummel, his brother Eric and then Eric Harper from Tyler and some other guys sang this at the Pops concert and killed it, just did a great job.

And that's kind of where I'm like, Holy crap, I love that song that you don't remember.

I feel like they're Yeah, that sounds familiar.

I swear to god they did, and they were amazing, and that was part of why I love the song and had that memory to me.

The song is written in nineteen sixty nine by Steve Young.

That guy's talented.

Didn't even know you do.

I didn't even know what he was with the Eagles.

He wasn't with Eagles, he was he wrote the song, but they did their live recording making a joke.

Yes, they did their live recording in nineteen eighty.

It did reach number twenty one, and it was their last top forty hit until they reunited.

And this song get over it charted again, which I can't get over.

I found that fact too, that that's ridiculous.

You have to get over it.

That's the name of the song is bring what what can't you get over?

I'm confused that this was.

Their last song, did you what's the fact that they didn't put any songs out?

That's why it was the last thing?

Oh okay, I see broke.

Up Andy, Yep, Okay, you were okay.

So anyway, I just love that kind of thing.

I love the and then of course the live version you have the clapping and the cheering.

I mean it just I love it.

I love that song so much.

Gifford, this was a pre concert warm up song that they would do in like the the shower room, you know, great way to warm up your voices.

So it did you mention that it reached yeah, twenty one on the Top one herd.

Great crossover song hit the hot country songs.

Hit the country list.

So I guess what does that mean?

They're a country rock fucking band.

Get over it.

I think that was a song that the Eagles played as well in ninety four.

But yeah, wonderful song, beautiful song, great harmonies, hard not to have this on your list, Pete, and I somehow didn't have it in our top ten.

It hits you right away, just how it hits you right off the bat.

It's a five part a cappella, which is kind of rare.

Usually at most you think it's like a quartet when they do when bands will do some something like this, but there's a five part acappella, and how just perfectly that they blend and it just gives you goosebumps right off the bat, and then it just kind of picks up and blends into the guitars.

It's it really doesn't get better than this.

And I you're right, Brad, I should have had this is my number one, but it was an oversight and I apologize to our listeners.

But you know that just made me.

And I'm not saying you had that of number one.

I just couldn't believe it wasn't in somebody's top ten.

That's what bloom this is.

To your point, Gifford about them using this as a warm up song.

I've scrolled through like Facebook or whatever, and there's a YouTube video that floats around that you can click on and watch them as they sing this, and it's just as good.

Better to watch it.

If I can go find it, I'll I'll send it to you guys.

But it's it's fun to watch.

It's as equally satisfying to watch, or more satisfying to watch, as it is to listen to, because while you're watching it, you're also listening to it.

I see, assuming you have the volume.

Of two forms of stimuli.

Okay, well we're onto the number three song, which you know, that's where the big hitter goes.

And predictably, Gifford's number one was thank you all right, And I don't know if you don't know Hotel California.

I mean I don't I don't even know what you're doing here.

But that was you're welcome here, you're learning.

No, right, you're welcome, but I don't know how you got here.

One of the most iconic, well known songs in history.

So Gifford, of course it made sense.

It's number one.

But why did you put it there?

Well, because it's the one you think of when you think of the Eagles, right, I mean, it's a number one hit in US and Canada, one or Grammy for Record of the Year in seventy eight, third most performed song that the that Eagles do behind Desperado and Take It Easy.

My two and three on my list, just absolutely phenomenal.

The final two minutes and twelve seconds voted best Guitar Solo by Guitarist Magazine in nineteen ninety eight.

Draft number one by me and the Guitar Solos Draft by Pop Culture Yearbook.

Yeah so Guitarist Magazine and ninety eight had it, and Brad had it in twenty twenty five, so absolutely great interpretation of the high life in la Henley also said that It's a journey from innocence to experience.

Sold eleven million physical copies and there are one million physical copies and three million digital copies of this song and great lyrics.

As well, and also on the record for Record of the Year Grammy.

We could list all the accolades a song got, but I mean that's the biggest one.

I guess right there.

This song was written by not only Henley and freib of Don Felder, And of course I don't think did you say it hit number one?

Yep?

Oh you did, okay, And I just said it's it's an iconic song with an iconic opening, an iconic two beat drum fill which I want to include there the iconic guitar solo, which is actually two people, Felder and Wallship both playing, and I mean, it is the song that made me an Eagles fan.

Like of course I didn't have it my first pick because it's I don't do that, but I mean, forget about forget about it.

It's it's it's the reason why I love the Eagles and new them before anything else.

So it's amazing, Pete, You're not alone.

And it also brings to you almost a cinematic vibe, like a visual.

It's a cautionary tale, is really what the song is.

And and how you know there's there's women that are that are just there for temptation and it could be heaven or they could be hell, and so you're not really sure if you should proceed, but you kind of get sucked in and I just think it if that's not exactly what I meant, but you know what I mean.

But it's just that that that temptation is there, and so you're just sort of like the hesitation is there.

Do you go do you want to go forward with this or not?

Because you know it's going to be bad news, but you do anyway.

So I just sort of love that kind of visual and the storyline it goes along with it, and the music itself is great.

Well, I'm just the line you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave I mean come on, yeah, that's right, I mean come on yeah, come on.

All right.

The next song, this is kind of the reverse.

Now, so you guys had it ranked.

You had Desperado ranked second and third overall, and I didn't have it on my list, and again because I don't love it.

It's great.

That's that's an oversight on your part.

Well, so there you go.

I mean that's I've now done the same thing the opposite way.

So here's a little bit of of course, Elaine.

The song what You Come, I mean, come on again, it's just so good.

Never released as a single, that's the crazy.

By them, but it got you.

Yeah, it got used so much by it got covered so much and was used in movies by other bands and artists, uh and everything.

But you're right, it's insane, insane that this song was never a single, because you mess have the top three.

The similarity between Tequila Sunrise and this those are the first two songs.

Henley and Frye wrote together, so pretty good job, and and fry sings Tequila Sunrise right, and now Henley sings both correct, they both just have It's two different people in two different songs, but they're both just equally beautiful no matter who's singing them.

You're correct.

The lyrics, the.

Lyric for me, and I don't have it written down.

I should, but it's don't you draw the queen of diamonds and then what as you say between air?

But then the queen of hearts is always your best bet.

Again, a little bit of a cautionary tale kind of could relate to Hotel California, because there are women out there that are gonna love you for your money, so you got I don't know that problem, that's right, So you want to go for the one that truly loves you.

So that's what I just love, love, love love that analogy because it just fits so beautifully and so perfectly in this song.

And you guys mentioned that it wasn't a single.

I don't think you said that.

The person who made this song bigger, according to Don Henley, was the Linda Ronstadt version.

Which wasn't released as a single either.

So I don't understand where his statement comes there.

But obviously uh Ronstad recruited these guys to be her backup guys in her band.

So this is where some of these guys came together to start playing together in the first place, was with Linda Ronstet.

So obviously that you know, don Henley giving her credit, you know, give it word's due, but she really but she did it later that year in seventy three.

This came out April seventeenth to seventy three for the Eagles.

She released it later that same year, but again not as a single, so I don't understand how they credit that.

I would go more with Pete, where there's so many covers of it and just so beautifully done Pete.

For me, the line of the song is your prison is walking through this world all alone.

I think that's wonderful and it goes back to your point of choosing, making sure you choose the right partner, and you're not doing that properly, so you're always you're always alone.

It's just it's such a beautiful, beautiful song.

It is.

And I think the next one is beautiful too, well, many beautiful songs, and.

This one has the London Philharmonic is your string section for crying out loud in Desperado.

So just absolutely gorgeous.

Sorry, go ahead.

Yeah.

So the next one is one that when I got like the first CD way back then.

I mean, I like the song forever, but it's one that's grown on me more and more through the years.

And I actually have a little story part of why I love it so much.

But this is a new kid in town.

Where are you?

There's a new kid in town?

And so I just got goosebumps right there.

I sent you guys on Instagram today that there's a name for that.

It's called frisen.

Not everybody gets goosebumps from music.

It's like only fifty percent of people do.

And I just got right there, yeap that?

Oh I love that?

Get that?

Well, well it was a little over fifty.

But that was not that you shouldn't, yeah, not that you shouldn't from this song.

But then I did ask if there was a name for people who get juice bumps.

You guys must not have read my message.

O, yes.

No, I said I didn't.

I didn't see that.

I was a little busy of work today.

I didn't say it.

I apologize, get back to you don't have to apologize.

But anyway, New Kid in Town is just strikingly beautiful song.

But part of the reason why I love this is because my son Isaac, So I had made a like mixed CDs for each of my kids and they were young songs that I thought kind of had a good feel or fit things that they liked.

And this was one I put on there because I thought it was a good song for you know, boy, and him and my daughter Isla both got to this where they have lived like videos.

Like she would play a song and then she would create a video out of it.

And of course hers were very theatrical and everything.

And Isaac, who you know, people that know him, he had he has many many learning disabilities and you know, struggled to like be creative maybe in that way.

But he wanted to make a video of this song.

This is the one he picked.

And so this song is what it's of almost five minutes long, and the whole video is pretty much him standing in his room by his dresser.

He you know, he tries to lip sync, but he doesn't get most of the words, his lips don't move much, and he's just kind of moving his hands like in and out like this every once in a while, and that's really all it is.

But as a parent, you know, me and Kim both like you have to watch the whole thing to the end, like you can't shut it off.

Like he's so proud, he's so happy, and I will never forget that.

It's an indelible memory.

I can picture him doing it right now.

And me and Kim, my wife, we still talk about it and we just love it.

And it was like, you know, it's so cute.

So that's part of why I love that song.

But I would love it anyway.

It's just so beautiful and it was a number one hit.

It was their first single off Hotel California, and Don Henley said, it's about the fleeting, fickle nature of love and romance.

It's also about the fleeting nature of fame, especially in the music business.

We were basically saying, look, we know we're red hot right now, but we also know that somebody is going to come along and replace us.

Both in music are replaceable in love.

So I love it.

Thank you.

What do you guys have to say about that one?

Well, you stole my story about Isaac's video otherwise that that was my big part of this one.

Uh yeah, I you hit on just about everything I had.

I'd like the electric piano in here.

I think it, yeah, just a little bit different.

That's about the only other thing I had.

Pete, go ahead.

This is a great song.

I love it, but you're not gonna like me very much maybe.

But of all of the songs that we picked for this playlist, this is my least favorite.

But it's not a function of this song itself being a bad song or anything.

It's still a great song.

It's just everything else is just banger after banger on this one.

But still it's a good song.

I knew, I knew you would be you always you always do.

But it is a very pretty song, and it's good.

That's all I have.

Uh you good?

You get one more?

Yeah?

Uh.

Song also won Grammy Award for Best Vocal Arrangement for two or more Voices, which, honestly and an Eagles song is pretty much all of them.

So all right, the next one we all agree and we all had it on our list.

This Yes, I mean, I've said seven Bridges Road, New Kid in time, I wanted to.

This is the song I often say, like currently would be my favorite Eagles song actually, and this one's really built over the years because I loved it, But like, I never would have thought of it as my favorite Eagle song, but I think now every time I hear it, it's like, wow, that's so great piece, little easy feeling.

I get this feeling.

You as long.

This voice keeps misty in thereer tells.

Me yum may never see.

I couldn't stop.

I just had to keep going.

What do you think of that one?

I think the song itself is exactly what the title is.

It gives you a peaceful, easy feeling and it it sort of is a contrast to some of the other songs that we've we've talked about.

It's like a little bit of a danger or cautionary or whatever.

This one it's just like you're confident, everything's good.

I am confident that you are going to be mine and you're not going to cheat on me or walk out on me or anything like that.

It's just it's a nice contrast and it's beautiful and it's a nice, nice love song.

Yeah, as Brad said, third single from their debut album, Hit Number twenty two.

So I mean this is your your debut, like this is your coming out party and you're already hitting twenty.

Is that exactly what you say?

Well, I said, I can't believe it's about their first album because this song is so amazing.

It's like they were at their peak right off the bat.

It's right off the bat.

How do you have this song on your first album?

In this song, I just love that the temple of the acoustic guitar that's going on behind it just keeps everything moving right along, and just like I say, it gives you that peaceful, easy feeling of that temple of the acoustics.

The only other thing I really had is that there's a little guitar solo at the end too that I just love, just a nice, again, full of relaxing guitar solo.

And this is where I wrote down again.

If you like this stuff, you've got to listen to the Wild Feathers.

I'm gonna throw in another.

Bid for that.

Band right there.

Are they paying us or something?

No?

I just love them because they're that good and I believe in it.

I stand by it.

Pete, I have a you have to change up your question at the end of the episode tonight because we are gonna be playing a Wild Feathers song for our outro music.

That's what we should do.

This song was written by Jack Tempchin, who also wrote other songs for the Eagles.

With the Eagles, he also co wrote Already Gone, which we will be hearing a little bit later on.

So the next one, one of you jokers didn't have on your list, so we're back to that again.

We had two of us had it on there, and this is the great song and it's a little different than a lot of the others.

One of these nights.

On the.

Oh Yeah, the Funk bring it on.

This is their talk about funky.

I was just gonna say, you talk about crossover now you get away from rock country and you get him to rock, R and B slash funk.

This is their second number one hit after Best of My Love, which being their first number one hit that did not make our playlist for tonight.

It's a good song, but this song is so much more funky than their other songs.

I love the intro.

A whole vibe of this song is just cool.

Yeah, great, And there's another great guitar solo in this one, and it's consciously different from their ballad structure that they kind of normally were going with.

And Don Henley, I think it was.

Don Henley referred to it as a nasty track with pretty vocals.

This is another option for my favorite song.

I mean, I could go on and on with like not ten of these, but this could be number one as well.

This one.

This one also had a nod to a little tip of the cap to disco.

You got funk in there, you got a little disco in there.

This is said by Glen Fry to be his favorite Eagles song.

Really, yes, I think I saw that too.

I didn't write down, but I saw that.

I vouch.

Sorry.

The line here that I love is I've been searching for a daughter of the devil himself.

I've been searching for an angel in white.

So kind of going back to previously when we with Desperado, where we're talking about the queen of hearts, queen of diamonds, you know, you know, always looking for that combination in in a in a wonderful woman.

So yeah, great line in the song for me.

Who was it?

Did you have it on your list, Gifford?

Or was it Pete that didn't?

I had a number six, Okay, Pete, didn't I believe.

The album Yeah, kind of a couple of my notes with it with a with a crossover into funk and R and B.

I described it as a silky example of nineteen seventies nightclubs.

So that's it.

Kind of gives you that that kind of feel to it and in the middle of the kind of a slow burn, it's so good.

Yeah, I love it.

Okay, Well, this is where we're going to flip our playlist over to the SIDEB here and if you were paying attention, I messed up and you might already know what the next song.

It's a good starting song for the second side because it's the one that kicks off the great one of the greatest albums of all time.

Take it Easy, Ye all right, great song, great great song, great kickoff.

If you're going to start an album like that, What a great way to introduce yourself out there to the world.

Well, yeah, like we had mentioned with a peaceful easy Feeling being the third single, this is, like bred said, first debut single, and that also hit number twenty two, Like you start your career in the top forty, like good God in Heaven, absolutely amazing.

Of course this was co written by Jackson Brown and Glenn Fry.

Yes, they did have a little bit of a deal there where he kind of gave it to him when he kind of didn't quite get it the way he wanted and he Eric Fry said we'll take it and look at what happened well, and.

Then Jackson Brown also recorded in seventy three, so a year later he also did a version of the song.

It's a banger.

You know that you have done something right in the pop culture arena when you have a song lyric that people will go out of their way as a tourist attraction to go take their photos on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, just because of this one song lyric.

It's almost that this song is so good it's almost not even fair to everybody else.

It's it's trying to participate in music.

It's just ridiculous.

I I I love the you know, it's got a little banjo in it, no trombone, but it's just I I thought, I think this song sounds breezy is the word I used to describe.

That's a really good word.

It's like being in a cool breeze and uh, but it does get you a little hard hitting.

As the song goes on, it's just so much fun.

The lyrics very sing along a bowl and it's it's so good, Pete.

You may think it's breezy because that breeze may be coming through the open window of a flatbed forward.

Yeah, that's right, that's right.

I have nothing to add you, guys, every thing he said, everything that I had down.

It's a great song.

I love it.

I love the Winslow, Arizona.

It's it's amazing.

So it's an iconic song again because because of that, because it's embedded itself into pop culture in more ways than one.

Pete did say earlier that you know you're a great song when people will go to a corner in a specific city to take a picture.

In nineteen ninety nine, a statue was erected on the corner in Winslow, Arizona for people to take a picture.

Next to it's of a man standing there with a guitar kind of resting on his foot standing.

You know, the guitar is standing upright.

So he's supposed to be Glenn Fry.

Is it actually like a statue.

Of that's it's supposed to necessarily be a likeness, but just a musician in Winslow, Arizona.

Okay, I think I thought maybe so if it was a ninety nine, then it's before obviously.

But when when Glenn Fry died, I was thinking that there was a statue of him because so many people went there, you know, after after he died.

But you're probably I mean, it wasn't him then, Yeah, it was in nineteen ninety nine.

And then it wasn't because he died, it was you know, it was already existed.

Yeah, I was already existing.

I was I'll take a look, we can move to the next one.

I'll see if you guys.

The next one is one of the first favorite Eagles songs I had when I bought the first album.

This is one of the two songs that stood out to me that I kind of knew and loved more than any And this is lion I's you Can I'm just gonna say it again.

Come on, I mean, listen to that.

So this was the number two Hot one hundred song and number eight country.

However, this is their only charting country hit until two thousand and seven, so it's not like they were charting crossover often.

Even though the music might fit the definition of that.

The harmonies in this song, in the chorus especially is it is perfection.

I can't imagine anything better when it comes to music sounding like that.

This one the Grammy for Best Dual or Group Performance.

It was nominated for Record of the Year.

It is beautiful of a song as you could have.

I love it.

Beautiful and a sad song.

And I would say, if you don't think this is country, then said I wrote this down before you said it.

But if you don't think this country, I can't help you.

It's over.

I can't help you it.

It does.

Yeah, it's absolutely as a country feel to it because it's about I've got a cheat, cheating woman and she's heading for the cheat inside of town.

I love that.

I love that lyrics as well, that's a good.

One, and just really all the lyrics in this song are just so good.

The story tells.

Yeah, I love it.

Yeah.

This was Glenn Fry's only lead vocals on the album.

Of course we've got great harmonies throughout, but this was the one he was only credited with lead on.

Yeah, it's it's a phenomenal song.

You know we talk about you know, the cheating you know, in the song, this is simply a young woman fed up with her transactional marriage that she has to an older, rich guy.

I mean, she got herself in this situation because she wanted the easy life and she'd rather, you know, be with somebody who's her own age, who has the same vigor and zest for life.

But she's not willing to give that up because she has you know, a nice place to live and has all the all the beautiful clothes and home and everything in the car and everything like that.

So really she sounds like she's the queen of diamonds, right, She is the queen of diamonds.

Correct.

Getting back to the last song, the statue, this is Jackson Brown's automobile malfunctioned in winslow On so he was actually the one that was in Windslore zone at the time.

But it's not a likeness of anybody.

The statue just.

A glad we got that cleared up.

Yeah, But get back to lion I's awesome song.

Beautiful song and excellent crossover.

The next one was my other favorite song.

Originally my first two favorite songs ever were that Like when I got this CD, especially for lion Eyes and this one, which is a different lead vocalist, take it to the Limit, So that is fantastic.

One of you didn't have that one down either, which I'm surprised, but I don't remember.

That that was me.

I had it written down.

I kept writing songs, so I did have to cross it off of my list.

Cross it often, so Lion I have taken to the Limit, and one of these nights are all on the same album.

I talk about an album right there.

This was a number four hit and it was written by Randy Meisner, and that's who's singing it too.

It's also written well with don him Lingerland Fry the writing.

It's written in Walt's time, which I never knew that, of course, because why would I know that, But when you listen to it, you can you can hear that and like picture waltzing.

So he sings this, and he was reluctant to sing it live, Randy, and this part of the reason why he ended up leaving the band.

There are the high notes in this song are high, and he, you know, maybe had trouble with that or wasn't confident live.

But they had to sing it live, and they wanted to sing it live and it did lead to maybe a little bit of a friction there, but in the end, it's an amazing song for sure.

See on the album.

There, Yeah, this song.

I would describe this as like winning the super Bowl with your third string quarterback, because yeah, come on, I mean it's like you're you're.

It's the first one without Henley or Fry as the lead, as you mentioned, and and the pitch that he has to hit it sounds like a woman singing in parts of it, and it just has this vaulting high note that I don't even know how he hits it.

It's it's great and it's a great song, and I'm sad that he didn't that he felt that way, because I think he could have done a wonderful job singing it live.

He sure did.

He left his mark on the band for sure.

Right, And I think that's that's what you know makes it stand out.

I think a little bit from some of the others is because that is a different vocal voice in there.

Nineteen eighty three, eight years later, Willie Nelson and Whale and Jennings did a version of this song as well.

Interesting, I wonder what that's I've not heard that one.

It's got to be a very different sound well, and.

It's across the country crossovers.

So it's just like all of these songs literally are well.

This one, for sure, I think would fit kind of into that.

It's got a lot of stuff going on.

This is Gifford's pick.

He's the only one to put this on the list.

But as I listened to it, I'm like, God, damn, that's a really good song and this.

Is all I know.

But like I remember thinking, maybe I didn't like it as much when you said it, but it turns out it's great and it's already gone.

I was trying to get to the wuhoos, but I guess we'll stop it there.

This reached number thirty two.

This is obviously a much more fun song in quotes I have than many of the ballads.

Not I mean, they're all great, but it's another different feel kind of like one of These Nights, but totally different from one of these Nights.

But outside of some of what they do, it's a rock and song with great harmonies.

I love it.

I love the line at the end, nighteighty night, and I'm going to say it over and over.

This is another one that reminded me of the Wild Feathers.

So there you go, Giff.

You like this song, I do.

It's a banger.

I mean, it's got some tempo to it.

As I mentioned, this was co written by Jack Tempchin.

Again just absolutely wonderful.

This is where this is the time.

So this came out April nineteenth to seventy four.

This is the time when Don Felder joins the band and so he is the soloist guitar soloist in this song, Pete.

This is a it's a breakup song like many of these are, but it's a different mood.

He's happy to be out of there.

He's kind of going like this double double bird as he as he walks off, double eagles, kind of the feeling that, yeah, double double eagle, double double eagles.

It's an albatross is what it is, right, But uh yeah, it again shows their versatility and it doesn't uh it just this band just has so much variety.

They have different moods that they can give you with all their songs, and this is just another example of that.

So so good.

Speaking of that, the next one's another little different one.

It has got, especially the Joe Walsh influence.

This is Life in the fast Lane.

We all had this one on our list.

Okay, yeah, that's a great intro.

That is just classic right there.

This is written by Joe Walsh with Henley and Fry.

This one reached number eleven.

It's harder and funkier than ever.

Henley's vocals.

I love his vocals in this because I described him as dirty.

They're dirtier, a little scratchier than normal, and he's he's getting into the field of it.

It's a fun song with fun lyrics.

They had one thing in common.

They were good in bed.

I love it gritty.

It's gritty, it's dirty.

I mean the lyrics are just.

Real and it's raw.

Yeah, I like Rob would like this song.

It's a little bit raw.

So this song was inspired, uh, when Glenn Fry was riding in a car with his drug dealer and they were just flying down the interstate and like a hundred you know, slow down a little bit and and the drug dealers like, what do you mean man, this is life in the fast linge.

So that's one of the inspirations for this awesome song.

And of course all three of us would have this on our list.

I mean, what don't we know growing up in rural Minnesota about life in the fasts and drugs.

Yeah, drugs, you know.

So this is this is right up our alley and that's why it speaks to the three of us.

So well, Pet, why did you have it?

It's well, it's like you said, Gifford, it's when you get to the track the tractor up to that speed, it is life in the fast lane.

Right again, this is just another song.

As I said earlier, this just makes it unfair to all the other bands that are even trying to compete.

It's it's so good and I don't know, it's it's exciting, it's fun, it's dangerous and daring is it?

I don't know.

Is it a party song or an anti party song?

Think about right?

It's a cautionary detail of the parties.

That it's another like Ler cautionary.

Tale life that's outstanding.

All right, Well that's a great song.

Now is where the controversy is gonna come in.

So Elaine had to find a song of her own and she chose which a woman.

It's even controversial, all right?

Which a woman?

Uh?

Does that song remind you of a nineties country song?

Uh?

Yes?

By Tim Yes Indian Outlaw, Holy Cow Does.

I never really put that together until this time.

I never thought of that such a similar sound to Indian Outlaw, especially in the intro, but and even that little part with the with the bonga or the bass drums or whatever.

This is a second single of theirs.

It was a number Want, a number nine hit, so it did well.

This was written by Bernie Leadon and Don Henley.

It was the only song on the debut with a writing credit for Don Henley.

It's also inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald, who we would like here because that's f Scott Fitzgerald's wife and they're from Minnesota.

He was reading a biography about her and that was part of the inspiration of this song.

I love the high notes.

I love the part I played there with the wahs and this high notes.

I get why some people might say, well, hear Gifford in a second, maybe this isn't their favorite song and it's not my favorite.

But I if I want to not like it, I can't when I listen to it, I love it, and so should Peter gif go first?

Who wants to take it?

Why don't go?

And no?

We can end on a high note.

That's what we want here, right, we want?

This just doesn't do anything for me.

I don't like the what did you refer to it as the Indian beat?

What did I read the.

Redheaded Stepchild of Eagle songs?

Yes, that sort of it is.

That's the Redheaded Stepchild of Eagles songs.

No offense to all our Ginger fans out there.

Yeah, it just doesn't do anything for me, and I really it just never grabbed me.

And then when we hear the sign we watched the Seinfeld episode and Elaine tries to pick an Eagles song to counteract Desperado.

I love Desperado so much.

Well then they we must have picked opposite.

I mean, it's such an opposite of Desperado.

It's like, yes, ridiculously contrasting songs.

Yes, So that on top of it was like, seriously, Elaine, that's the song we pick?

Is the Witch a woman?

Like?

Come on, I don't know.

It's just it's just never grabbed me.

I just don't care for it.

You're the only one we had to make your case.

No couple would would pick this as their love songs as their song Desperado, absolutely, but but you wouldn't but I just think that this is so good.

Again, similar to Hotel California, this is you gotta beware of that woman because she is going to get you under her spell and you will not be able to escape.

It's sort of the theme of this song and the way that again the visuals, like the sparks coming in from her fingertips and all, just that whole thing gives you that eerie, kind of a spooky feeling that she is She's going to mesmerize you and and there's nothing you're gonna be able to do about it.

But I just think it's so good.

I love it.

That's good.

So we're kind of spread out get Pete loves it.

I like it, Gift doesn't like it.

That's our controversial song right there.

Yep.

So that was our final song on our list, but we didn't want to end with the one that somebody didn't like, so we flipped around our thirteenth and fourteenth and we're ending with an absolute banger, a party song, and that is Heartache Tonight clap along.

Some true.

Okay, thank you gif.

I'm gonna need another ear surgery now.

Yeah, man, I love that song as a kid.

I still do but like that was one of my big, big favorite Eagles songs.

That one's written by Don Henley, Glenn Fry and Bob Seeger and j.

D.

Souther.

Yes, it was a number one hit in nineteen seventy nine.

It's a clap along, it's a sing along, it's a rock and party song.

I think it's got it all.

It's a Grammy winner for Group Performance.

And it's a great way to go out because it's gonna just make you feel good at the end of the list, at the end of the night.

It is a better grand finale of the song.

If we're gonna do an Eagles playlist, I will grant you this is.

This is the this is the encore.

Yes, And and because this is one that you could picture them, Okay, they do what you woman, good night everybody, and then the crowd you can't.

End up with you woman come.

Back yeah, and you can just picture it though, they come back out and and then the whole crowd.

This is one the whole crowd would get into and and like you, you'll shout along with the chorus.

They'll be clapping their hands and it's so much fun.

And and again it's appropriate because there are so many songs about heartache and uh and everything like that, so it's it fits the bill for much of the rest of the songs that we picked out.

Yeah, that's about all I got to say about that.

Well, and imagine if you know they end with which a woman and then you know they walk off stage.

Everybody's going nuts.

That was awesome, great time, lights go down, and then they come back with the beginning of that song for your encore.

Everybody just ramps right back up again.

Absolutely wonderful song.

Again, it's a banger.

We did have a Conway Twitter version of this song that was released in nineteen eighty three.

Well, my mom should know that when or listen to it.

Mm hmm.

Yeah.

So again crossing over to the countryside with a one of the goats of eighties country music.

Yeah, I'm not I'm not gonna argue with Pete.

They are a crossover type band as far as style of for sure.

I mean, we're not arguing that at all.

The hard part for us was thinking of making a draft out of that.

It was a little too sometimes spread.

You got to do a little research and I know, and.

Which we did.

We did repair for that, Yes, you do but you know it could be.

Okay, I agree.

Eight.

Sometimes you need to do a little research.

If you'd like to know.

I did some scientific number working here, and this is the order of how the songs came out based on how we ranked them on our list when we came together.

So Hotel California and Pretty So Easy Feeling actually tied for number one, but because Hotel California had a number one vote by you, we'll put that at number one.

Okay.

Lion Eyes was third, Heartache Tonight fourth, Then you had Take It Easy and Life in the Fast Lane.

Those were all the ones that we all had after that.

Desperado was number seven, Tequila Sunrise Nice that those two go together because we talked about the similarities.

And one of these nights were the next three.

Seven.

Bridges Road, New Kid in Town were the next two, Take It to the Limit, Already Gone, and bringing up the rear, which a Woman.

That was the order that they came out in when you looked at how we ranked them.

But as we said, we all love every one of those songs for the most part, and it's hard to rank them.

That's why they weren't in any real order, because who cares.

It's just it's just a kick ass playlist.

Like my wife says, why do you guys have to rank things?

Because we're dudes and that's what we do.

But some seventh hour in high school, I know, so it's in our blood.

True.

So the draft that we did come up with for tonight, which I think was a pretty good idea.

It was my idea, but was too Then the Eagles have such great solo artists in the band, and we really grew up with some of them first, and then there were so many members in and out, and a lot of them had solo hits.

Was two draft non Eagles songs by Eagles members.

So if it was a if it was a member of the Eagles and they weren't in the band when they did it, that's what we're talking about right here.

Obviously, it's gonna be probably heavy with Don Henley for a lot of us, but there's there's more than just him to go with here too.

So Gifford is going to be first in this draft.

I'm second, and Pete is third.

Well, curious to know what you'll start.

With, Yeah, I am too.

Honestly, I'm kind of going back and forth between three here.

I just think it's such a banger.

It gets you going right away, and it's tied to just such a fun movie.

I'm gonna go at Glenn Fry's The Heat is On.

Okay, that's a big one.

The Heat is on.

It's on the street.

Yeah, okay, enjoys a little slow but then it kicks in with that sweet sacks.

There you go.

Yeah, that's a good start, right there.

Give that's a good start.

Thank you.

Well.

I'm actually not gonna pick my number one song.

I'm gonna pick my number two and because I feel like it's gonna follow that up and keep that energy going.

And I love this song so much.

I'm going to Don Henley this time with Dirty Laundry.

That was gonna be my number one.

Really.

That is just so fun when the drums come in, there we go.

Okay.

I love that song.

It's so fun.

And that was I think that's his first single too.

It was off the album before Building The Perfect Beast, So he did all right for himself coming right out of the Eagles there.

Okay, Pete, if it took your song, what's your backup?

Uh?

Sticking with Don Henley, I am going to go with all she wants to do is dance nice.

I love the way this is starting it.

That's a playlist you're lisening.

That is a kick ass fun start.

I love that song too, great pick.

Thank you, well, I'm hoping you got I'm hoping you got my uh my waltz song here because we're gonna keep the uh the funky time's going here with Funk forty nine when he was with the James Gang.

I got to be honest, I have never heard of that song and it did not come up in my research.

You know this song, if you hear it, you would absolutely.

Funk forty by Joe Walsh.

Uh it's it's when he was with the James Gang.

But he wrote the song.

Huh okay, Well, I got some research to do afterwards.

Now please listen to that one.

That is a banger.

All right.

Well, I don't necessarily want to take Don Henley again, but my number one overall song was a pretty clear number one.

I'm going with the Boys of Summer now.

I mean that song as a kid and to this day.

So I'm doing my top one hundred songs right now on our pop culture ye book, Yup Socials, and that's the that's the one of these that's in that because it's just long term a banger that I've always loved.

And how long does this one take to start?

Dang guitar coming in radio?

There we go.

M h.

I love the vibe of that one.

She's just a feel of it and the lyrics are so cool.

It's a cool song, is what it is.

This one always made me feel less than when you listen to it, because you're you're the guy who's left for the boys, but your girl leaves you for the boys.

Of you're not wearing the ray bands.

No, I'm not that cool.

I'm not that cool.

You guys know this.

Or it's not ray bands?

I got that wrong?

What what?

What kind of sunglasses?

I can totally drawing a blank Wayfarers your Wayfarers on?

Yeah?

So that I mean, it's an awesome song.

Love the song I hadn't highlighted I was that was?

It was between that one he is on and and Funk forty nine for me for the number hear this song.

I am going to Gifford.

I think this is the one that you and I were talking about before we started recording, where it's a Joe Walsh song solo version in the city.

Oh, I have it high Yeah, yep.

Okay, So it's listed as solo version, which I don't know if that means it wasn't Eagles song.

It was.

It almost made my top ten Eagles songs actually.

And it was when I read it was Joe Walsh's song, and it's on the long run.

It's still have it on.

It was, but the Eagles then adopted it.

Basic that's fine, that's fine.

That's what you found.

Okay, that's what I found, and I have it on my list, Pete and I haven't highlighted on my list?

Is what yous?

Two out of three?

Yeah, it's a great song because I know it just as an Eagles song, So.

Gif Okay, Uh, I'm gonna stick.

I'm gonna stick with Joe Walsh and I go with Rocky Mountain Wave.

Okay, that's a good one.

I'm glad you didn't pick the one I want.

Well, I've got a few more here, so do I.

But Joe Walsh Man, he's really dominating this list so far.

I have the majority of It's a little bit of a surprise.

Because my point, I would have thought it would have been mostly Henley.

Here's Rocky Mountain way for him.

Yeah, I mean, come on, and then the piano comes in.

Well, this is gonna be my Joe Walsh.

Yeah, mm hmmm.

I'm on.

There we go.

Life's been good.

That's a song I knew that might have been a song I actually knew before I really knew much about the Eagles too.

Actually, I guarantee it is.

Yeah.

I love that song for most of my life, whenever I heard it somewhere along the way.

So I'll let's keep the Joe Walsh going here.

I guess, Pete, I am going to switch it up.

Sorry, I'm gonna go back to Don Henley.

There's about four songs that I could pick, but I'm gonna go with New York Minute.

Ah.

That's a good song.

That's a great song.

It's a nice intro, some good piano going on there.

If I do not have a Henley song yet, so I am taking one right now.

I am going with the Heart of the Matter.

Okay, yep, that's another great way down my list.

But I got there.

Just how the drum builds in in the beginning here and the lords come on.

Yeah, that's good, all right, I really don't want to keep going don Henley so much.

But it's the best song I got here, and I'm glad nobody picked it yet because I'm taking Sunset grill.

Oh yeah, another cool song.

Just builds a feeling there as you listen to it.

All Right, you know, Glenn Fry hasn't been getting a whole lot of love here, has he?

So I'm gonna go that's interesting.

He didn't have as many songs as I thought.

I knew, right right, me too, I'm gonna go with you Belong to the City.

Right, Okay, that just is.

Not so good?

So good.

Eighty sacks smooth and can be.

And I was surprised on at least the way I read it on my Apple Music is that that was his number one song on there and the heat Design was like number four, which I just assumed the heat Design would be the biggest one by far.

But because unless it was, all right, Giff, you got one more pick.

I'm going back to the Joe Walsh wall for the third time here, I'm going all night long by Geez.

I don't have that one either, really, I have another Joe Walsh song, but it's not that one.

Hey, I got another one on here too.

So if I'm looking at my list, my next highest rated one is my other Joe Walsh song.

And this is a song that actually came out in nineteen ninety one and was played on the Marshall Radio and I had it on a mixtape and made off the radio and I loved this song.

It's just a fun song with cool lyrics.

Ordinary average guy.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

The lyrics of that are just fun because it's really about an ordinary average guy.

He likes to go bowling, and it's it's great.

Who doesn't Pete.

I think I got a good one to finish it off with Don Henley, Uh, the end of the Innocence.

Yeah, we haven't said that one yet, you know.

And that's probably a good way to close out the thing with the end there.

And it's a nice little easy listening song at the end.

Steve Wyndwood esque song.

It does sound like Steve Winwood.

It's been a lot of good comments tonight.

I feel like, if you guys got any others, yeah, I got several others here.

So Timothy B.

Schmidt a song called so Much in Love, which is kind of a do wop song which if you don't remember it.

If you listen to it, you'd know it.

One I thought maybe Gifford would pick.

So currently in the Eagles, replacing Don Henley is Vince gil and my favorite Vince Gill song is one More Last Chance, and there's a video of them driving.

I mean because it's tractor part in that, and that's a fun that's a fun song.

I do have another Joe Walsh song, Life of Illusion.

That's the only other one I had.

That's a great song, and I love that one because if food Fighters cover that song as like a B side and Taylor Hawkins sings it and it's it's a fan Actually I heard it more often than the Joe Walsh version, but they're both great.

Who covers it?

The Foo Fighters who fight us, who fight us?

If you wanted more Glen Fry, you got Smugglers Blues.

Nobody said the last word this evening, right, No, that's the other Don Henley one.

Glenn Fry had a song called Party Town that I kind of vaguely remember, and it was pretty good when I listened to it.

It's okay.

He also had a song called the One You Love, and then Randy Meisner had a song called Hearts on Fire that I listened to, and it's okay.

If I needed to really dig deep, that was my is that the it's not part?

I think that's a different hearts.

This is this do you think of like a rocky one or whatever?

So I was like, no, this is a different one.

That's Heart's a Fire maybe, and this is Heart's on Fire.

Okay, okay, that's on my list right there.

Did you still have any more?

Did you say?

Did you say Glenn Fry is the one you love?

I did?

Sorry, I found somebody by Glenn Fry, sexy girl, true love, part of me, part of you.

Then Joe Walsh turned to Stone and walk Away Boy, Timothy B.

Schmidt with Boys' Night Out and Keep on Trying, Don Felder Heavy Metal and Bernie lead On Train leaves here this morning?

All right?

If anything left?

Uh no, I don't, but I Brad usually is the one who picks the more obscure things.

I'd like to point out that I had two songs that I picked that were on your.

Were even on my list, So so feeling good about that.

I guess we'll.

Find out how that works out if they really are obscier or if I'm just oh, I.

Probably won't do well in the draft, but please listen to that fun by the James Gang.

I know that song.

I'm going to listen to all night long too, because I am yeah, I don't know what that is by the title.

Not not the Lionel Richie version.

You know, Hey Different, Oh oh, we need to close the yearbook.

Thank you closing yearbook.

That was a fun month and and what a what a banger of an episode to finish it with?

That was fun one.

Yeah, hey Different, Hey Pete, what.

You know what the greatest non crossover band of all time is?

Well, it wouldn't be the Wild Feathers because they are an Eagles type band that has very crossover value.

I would say that it's more than likely.

I would say, Preacher Roll.

You have it, you got it all time.

Thanks for listening, everybody.

Yes, thank you very much, folks.

So if you will be back soon again, bye bye.
