@Sequoia51 As far as i know Hotel California is a story about a satanic cult that sacrificed people at a hotel in California.. So i do not like the song for that reason.. The music however is pretty good..

@Adstar It is the music that fascinates me. It demonstrates the skill of the musician. From the Net, '"Hotel California" lyrics by the Eagles are primarily about the dark underbelly of 1970s American materialism and the hedonistic L.A. music scene, rather than literal satanism or a specific hotel. The song uses the "Hotel California" as a metaphor for a seductive, inescapable trap of fame and excess.'

Oooo, that's hard. I like them both equally. I know them both by heart and can sing both without even having music.

So to me, its a tie, because I can't pick one over the other. I love them both
