Pop Culture from an Alternate Dimension

       This would be a follow up to the 1982 Eagles album from an alternate reality that I posted in December. For this I chose four songs from Don Henley's 1984 album Building the Perfect Beast , four songs from Glenn Frey's The Allnighter , one song from Timothy B. Schmit's Playin' It Cool , and one from Joe Walsh's The Confessor . For Henley I only wanted to use songs that he helped write so I didn't use "All She Wants to Do Is Dance", despite it being a huge hit. I wound up choosing "The Boys of Summer", "Not Enough Love in the World", "Sunset Grill" and "Land of the Living". Frey's supplied "Sexy Girl", "Smuggler's Blues", "Living in Darkness" and "New Love". From Schmit I pulled "Something's Wrong" which has Don Henley on drums & backing vocals and Joe Walsh on guitar. Speaking of Joe, like Henley, I wanted to choose a song Walsh wrote. I pic...

       I recently started going through my original posts and added playlists. When I got to The Eagles album No Fun Aloud I wanted to re-do the package design. The songs remain the same.      What if the Eagles kept putting out records after  The Long Run ? For this I chose "I Found Somebody", "Party Town", "All Those Lies" and "I Volunteer" from Glenn Frey's 1982 album  No Fun Aloud.  From Don Henley's 1982 album  I Can't Stand Still  I chose the title song (with harmony vocals by Timothy B. Schmit), "Long Way Home" (with backing vocals by Schmit),  "Nobody's Business"  (with Schmit   on bass) and I had to include "Dirty Laundry", not only was it huge in the charts but it has Schmit doing backing vocals and bass, as well as Joe Walsh doing a guitar solo. In place of Glenn Frey doing a cover of the oldie "Sea Cruise" I put in Timothy B. Schmit cover of "So Much in Love" from the ...

  Back in July I imagined what an Eagles album would sound like in 1982 after they broke up. This one is kind of the reverse: what would their first album be like if Joe Walsh was with them at beginning. Most of it is from The Eagles self-titled 1972 album with a couple of songs from Joe Walsh's Barnstorm album from 1972. I replaced "Early Bird" (which starts with "Early in the morning...") with Walsh's "Birdcall Morning" (which starts "Early birdcall morning..."). I also excised "Take the Devil" to make room for "I'll Tell the World" from  Barnstorm . As usual, here is a link to the playlist:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFq-lBRfeJWbwLok1JlN_jC&si=v6HBzjw_xztG_qlQ Enjoy and tell your friends.
