Any Joe fans ? I'm just listening to some old James Gang stuff, The Bomber, Funk 49, Walk Away all great songs, and from later in the 70's, I don't think I'll ever get tired of  Lifes Been Good :)

Hmm, Life's Been Good, Walk Away, Rocky Mountain Way...

I must admit I don't know all the songs in the list  :-[  - but the ones I do know, I like  :)

Lifes Been Good

Absolute classic!

The obligatory 'Life's Been Good' and 'Rocky Mountain Way' in that order...

I have heard of 'Funk 49' (James Gang, I think...), but not heard it - worth getting?

I saw the James Gang at G Rollie White Collesium in College Station, Texas  in 1971.  It was the loudest concert I've ever been to. Walk Away or Funk 49, either one is great.

I'll throw in a little Joe Walsh trivia question :)

What movie did he have a very very small part in playing a prisoner ?

Well...of course I picked "Rocky Mountain Way"...also "Walk Away" and other for a great song called "Meadows"  ;)

Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good 

To repeat what a few have said, Life's Been Good and Rocky Mountain Way.

yeah Paul, give Funk 49 a listen to, you may have heard it but not know it by name :)

that's awesome, I just saw Joe last summer, he played early James Gang stuff right thru to a couple of his songs from The Eagles :)

Well...of course I picked "Rocky Mountain Way"...also "Walk Away" and other for a great song called "Meadows"  ;)



yeah, you live the Rocky Mountain Way first hand don't you ? Meadows is a cool song :)

I love the name of the album R.M. Way is on ' The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get' :)

Life's Been Good, Walk Away, Funk49, and other, The Confessor.

Lifes Been Good

Can't believe nobody's said this one, imo their prettiest song - Midnight Man - was Joe singing lead?

yeah, you live the Rocky Mountain Way first hand don't you ? Meadows is a cool song :)
First off...I love the new "Look"  :) Yeah, I always liked "Meadows" in fact one night we scared some girls at the dorm back in college by playing that beginning scream sequence on a boom box outside the window one night :D

Good song, I was gonna put it on the list. It was a duet, he shared vocals with a woman named Mary Sterpka :)

It's a beautiful song and the duet (thanks for the info) helps mellow Walsh's voice.  Also thanks for this thread, as it sparked my memory of this song.  I will definately find and download it into my collection of all-time best songs in my life!

Thanks..I've got more stuff planned for Maria to help me with though ;)

I'll throw in a little Joe Walsh trivia question :)

Would that be The Blue Brothers??

Yeah, you win an all expenses paid vacation to the destination of your choice :)

I LOVE JOE WALSH!!!

Of course I voted for Life's been Good.

Help Me Through The Night,  Over and Over, Turn to Stone, Mother Says are a few of my other favorites.

My favourite was one he had in 1983 called "Space Age Whiz Kid".  It was not a big hit, but it was still a hit, and it 's very catchy :)

Other - "Midnight Man"

While I liked all of Walsh's songs, I liked the James Gang period ones the best.

"Space Age Whiz Kid" was great!!!

A little known fact about Joe walsh.If you have the album
Emerson Lake & Palmer Works Vol. 1, Put on Carl Palmer's
side and and play the track "L.A.Nights" and you will hear Joe
Walsh on guitar and scat vocals.An excellent song.

I believe I had James Gang on 8 track and Funk 49 rocked!!  of course Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good aren't too shabby

If "Funk 49" is the song I'm thinking of, then yeah, it was a pretty badass song. I also chose "Walk Away" because the James Gang rocked, and I chose "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Life's Been Good" simply because they were classic rock anthems.

(Honorable mention: "Fairbanks, Alaska," because he mentions Lincoln, Nebraska.)

The only one of those songs I've ever heard of is Life's Been Good, but I much prefer his work with The Eagles.
