Song: Lyin Eyes

Quick Thoughts: Lyin' eyes was written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey and recorded in 1975. Glenn Frey has said the song stems from his meetings with Don Henley at a restaurant called Dan Tana's where they once observed a woman and a man having a romantic dinner but then speculating that the woman was in love with his money. Here is the link to the restaurant: http://www.dantanasrestaurant.com/home.php. I'd like to check out this restaurant sometime. From the looks of the website, it seems like a place for celebrity sightings. Interestingly, the single version of this song is shortened quite a bit from the album version since Top 40 Radio in 1975 typically didn't play songs longer than 4 minutes. Not only that, the label went as far as noting the runtime on the 45RPM label as being 3:58, but the actual playing time was 4:14.

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
