Hotel California – EaglesView More By Eagles Our ReviewReleased in December 1976 after 18 months of anticipation, the Eagles’ fifth studio album Hotel California was one of the most successful albums of all-time, selling over a million copies in its first week and 10 million copies overall while garnering multiple Grammy nominations. The title track won the 1977 Grammy for Record of the Year, and the album remains a major touchstone of its era, reflecting both the glamour and the dark underside of 1970’s Los Angeles.

In addition to the classics that we've come to know and love, give a listen to Joe Walsh's "Pretty Maids All In A Row" and Randy Meisner's "Try And Love Again". Great stuff! Hotel California (5 stars) The song Hotel California is the best song on the album. It is a great song for people of all ages. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
