I am sure everyone here young and old, has heard of the Eagles. Maybe for those around my age you can remember when they became Big, and even were known to sing along with a lot of their songs.
I will never forget when I first heard this song. Catchy music even once you know the words, and the true meaning behind this song. But still a classic. I used to always request it one place I used to shoot pool at yrs ago, so anytime I hear this song I feel like Cranking it, and sometimes with I was somewhere shooting pool.

The Hotel California is actually the Beverly Hills Hotel which I have passed countless times.

The Eagles are my favorite band and Hotel California is right up there with one of my top songs.

I have always liked their songs and so do my children. Other than Hotel California I love Take it to the limit and Lying eyes .. found some very interesting facts about Hotel California!
The back cover and gatefold photo of The Eagles "Hotel California" was not shot in The Beverly Hills Hotel lobby but rather in the lobby of the lower budget Lido Hotel on the corner of Yucca Street & Wilcox Avenue in Hollywood, California.

I agree with you Krause.
I also like Desperado.
I saw them perform many years ago.

Desperado is another good one. I think anytime you think of the Eagles there is not a Bad song made by them out there.

Yes, that's cool...
And it's "The Long Run"... that really gets the goosebumps going, here.

That's a great song, but my fave, and in fact one of my very favorite tunes ever is 7 Bridges Road.

When you start thinking about anything the Eagles have done especially from this Era, there is not really a Bad one and that is why they continue to be popular even still today.

From the day I bought that album, in 1976, I didn't care that much for this song. In fact, I did a list of my least favorite Eagles songs....and this came in at #2 ("Life in the Fast Lane" is #1 on my least-favorite list). If you're going to send me to a deserted island with one Eagles 45, it needs to be "Take It to the Limit." But that's the great thing about the Eagles: there's something there for just about everyone in their discography.

Interesting that you are not fond of this one. It just goes to show we are all allowed to have different tastes in music.

I have canceled your reservation at the Hotel California so you won't see a Tequila Sunrise. For a Desperado who likes to Take it to the Limit, you sure shy away from Life in the Fast Lane.

Yes, the lyrics are interesting, and the meaning behind them as well. But because it is such a catchy tune it is one that continues to be a Big hit and people can recognize it from anywhere.

@KrauseHome Both the soundtrack, by The Eagles, and the original radio series of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, really should be on the bucket-list of anyone who enjoys listening to radio comedy.

I didn't know the Eagles sang it, but I wasn't into the groups so much as the songs. I did know that one, and once I paid attention to the words, it was a bit alarming as you can check into the Hotel California, but you can't leave.

Many of the Eagles songs are like this. You hear or think about them and then they get stuck in your head for days.
