I decided to vote for Victim Of Love in the end, I considered going for Too Many Hands as a sympathy vote as I think it's one of the most underrated Eagles songs, but I think V.O.L. is the best song from my list, and I think Felder played the great intro sequence too.

I agree about the rhythm section and talkbox solo on Those Shoes though, they really make that song for me.

If I was to rank these five songs my order would be:
1) Victim Of Love
2) Too Many Hands
3) Those Shoes
---
4) Visions
5) The Disco Strangler

I've put a dash between numbers 3 and 4 as I think the last two aren't as strong as the top three, I find Visions is the more enjoyable of the two as although I think the Disco Strangler just about works as a satirical piece, it is (deliberately) rather dissonant and therefore difficult to really enjoy, whereas Visions has some musically satisfying guitar parts.

I kinda wish I'd have voted for Victim Of Love. I've tuned it out for many years because of radio overplay but it is one truly great song.
