    The Dude and I share the same feelings about the Eagles.
    In 1995-6 you couldn't get away from Hotel California.  EVERYONE listened to that song.

    I went to work n Alaska and I personally saw African, German, Vietnamese, Mexican, South American and Polish people rocking out to that damn song.  

    My loathing of that song and the band has continued since then...

    One summer they were playing in LA somewhere and they were broadcasting the Hell Freezes Over show.  Friend of mine says "hey man, Katerina, Skeeter and the rest are at this show!"

    My reply, "who gives a shit.  Change the station..."

    Classic and good song, definitely one that gets played too much though.
    Objectively, you can't deny the classic rock deliciousness of that melody and ultra-famous guitar solo any more than you could objectively deny the deliciousness of rhythm and memorability of Billie Jean.
    I actually preferred the live version with the bongos in the beginning.

    I was drunk and decided to sing it on karaoke night at some bar in 1997 or so, and I got heckles mercilessly. :lol: 
    THAT is when you sing even louder!!!
