Hotel California

[Bernie L]

Well, this is just about my favorite song.


Give me your top 5.

 

[DEVO]

The Gipsy Kings version is better.

My favourite Eagles song for ten years was "Have you ever seen the Rain". Until i realised it was actually a clear water revival song, facepalm, lol.
Anyhoo..

My favourite Eagles Song! Has no vocals, lol (which inspired Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy theme song which inspired Radiohead's Man of War).

 

[No eye deer]

Take it easy is pretty good.
But I probably prefer Jackson Browns version. Sneaky Pete on the Pedal Steel makes it.
For what its worth Jackson co-wrote it with Glen Frey.

Hard to beat Hotel California.

It's way too overplayed to be enjoyable anymore

Hard to beat Hotel California.

Do you mean...with a stick?

It's impossible for Hotel California to be overplayed. I think if it was played on repeat 24/7, then you'd still be craving more of it.

That opening guitar part sends shivers down my spine. Whoever and wherever you are, when the vocals kick in, then you're immediately transported to a moment of pure ecstasy. It's a sound that clearly Stravinsky was aiming for when he and Rach were in LA in 1943. It took decades later, but The Eagles created the vision. The perfect experience.

To be fair, I'd rather hear it than Brown Eyed Girl or American Pie
