Heartache Tonight. Loved that song, same with I Can't Tell You Why.
Great album.

My favourite from this album is The Sad Café, the lyrics and great and I love Don Felder's short acoustic guitar solo and the closing saxophone solo, it was just the perfect way to cap off what turned out to be the final one of the original Eagles albums. The title track would come second, with either In The City or I Can't Tell You Why third.

Although The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks tends to be highlighted here as the one humorous song I personally find the melodrama and black humour of Teenage Jail funnier, plus I think it's musically superior (I love the guitar solo at the end). I can see why some might think it's overbearing, but it comes together for me.

It was a coin toss between In The City & Those Shoes. Those Shoes won the toss.
