by the eagles
Indeed...one of the best songs ever made, at least in my opinion
yeah, its a little old, but age never determines the greatness of music
(theres alot of good "classics" out there, im pretty sure)

I mean...its awesome, and i m sure im not the only fanatic of it
But hey you never know.

So who else knows the song (you better :x )
and do you guys think its okay, good, great, awesome, incredible, M-azing, or the best

and i guess i have to put the horrid
Dislike option here...ill be waiting for none of these <.< >.> >.<
but come on...its a great song :D
so post you opinions or comments...lets get it

i basically like the song for all the sweet guitar sounds at the begining, thourghout, but mostly at the end with the guitar solo...thats the best part

I wouldn't count this as a classic.

I don't like the song, it's pretty stupid.

Everyone knows it but I don't even know how because it's a stupid song.

okay...i never said it was a classic...

but okay, so you dont like it, okay thats fine. You posted that like you expected me to retaliate or something
trust me, i left gaia for that reason :roll: ...

edit: i am sorry for the you guys had to hear the word gaia for the fitinith time :( ( no i dont know what fitinith means...but its ,more than infinity :shock: )

My mother fucking loves this song. Personally, I hate it.

I think it's annoying and goes on way too long.. and it's about NOTHING, NOTHING at all.

I'm not a fanatic, but I enjoy listening to it every once in a while. I like the lyrics and the beat, I guess. :3 I don't know why but whenever I do listen to it, I think of Hotel Rwanda.

well, i guess you got to be a real guitar fan to truly like the song the way i do
Its just really nicely made, in my opinion and sounds like no other song to me

but the song IS about something, if you would listen to the lyrics you would understand what he is saying...'
( he riding donw a highway at night has to stop at a hotel that is extremely beautiful, he stays and figures out thats its pure evil and theres no way to get out once your in...basically from the state of the city of angels, he went into hell...is that good enough, thats just summed up in basic terms)


ah, hotel rwanda...thats a really sad movie, because it based on real life :(

Yes, I would have to agree with you there. I do quite like that song. It’s one of those songs, at least in my opinion, that never gets old no matter how many times I hear it.

It is a popular song. I've heard it before. I'm not a big fan of it, but I guess I do like it.

yeah pretty much i guess ^_^
its pretty popular
i just think its really unique and amazing :D

IT IS AN AWESOME SONG!!!!! In my opinion, it is the best Eagle song that exists!!! It is SOOOO a Classic!!!

well thats some upbeat to it ^_^
glad to hear you think its a classic
in a way, i guess it can be considered a classic...or at least it should become one

i think its the best eagles song ever too...no doubt about it

p.s.-this is ice...just on his main :D

Silly people, this is as much classic as David Bowie and Queen doing Under Pressure.
The album, titled Hotel California and everything, went platinum more then the rest of their albums.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't a classic.
It's traversed through the ages, people still know it, people love it, it's highly pupular, it's almost thirty years old! Yes, it is a classic.
Hotel California is a great song, but I guess it just depends on your taste in music. Classic rock is one of my most favoritest <33
I love the lyrics, I love the way it sounds, and I love the Eagles!

awesome
someone that appreciates a great song >.<
yeah , its hard to believe that it was made almost thirty years ago...but its true
so so good 8)

I said pupular XD My bad, but I like the word so I'll keep it.
Yeah...it's older then my oldest sibling who, too, is nearly 30 xD
Way earlier than my time but I luves it anyway.

its alright ^_^
i understood it anyways

but yeah, its beyond my time too, but its just too awesome

This song brings back fond memories for me. I love it. <3

hehe
the song in itself is memorable ^-^
but yeah, i love it when i can connect songs to my past as well
not the words, but the song, like you know...i listened to it a long time ago
and so listening to it again brings back those memeories from long ago...sweet 8)

• Hotel California by the Eagles is a famous song, but maybe not classic. Who gets to decide that anyways? lol.
  
  It wasn't popular just because it's a good song, there was a lot of other things going on with it. I wrote a paper about it, in high school oddly enough, describing the message of the lyrics, in my opinion. When I asked around, a lot of people said it was about a girl. But I guess the band said the song about being in hell, and meeting the devil, or something along those lines. I don't remember all the details, because I wrote that paper several years ago, but I like songs with lyrics that.. hold something more than just the face value of them.
  
  Hotel California is one of those songs.

yeah the whole masked heaven to hell place is what i tried to decribe in my earlier post
as simple as the lyrics are, it has a really complex meaning

well, a songs age and basic popularity and fame during its time, its excellence and the defined classical, is what makes a song a classic, hotel california, fits in just nicely, in my opinion.

aha..here it is

*pumps*
revive!!
defibrillator's!! Go!!
*shocks thread*
come on..you can make it!

*shocks once again*

alright go time

how awesome is this song? TOO AWESOME :D

The Eagles are awsome!!! They're one of my favorite old bands.

Hotel California is one of their best songs. The lyrics and the melody are haunting and beautiful.

I swear to god that song is about drugs.

I mean because it's talking about how great it is there and how its beautiful and amazing, but even if you check out you can never leave.

'Cuz you know, all those drugs that you end up addicted to for the rest of your life.. Even if you quit them you can never stop wanting them..

Yeah!

It's a great song though ^^

It's one of my favorite older songs. I love it a lot.

I really like this song. and I agree. Just because you don't like the song doesn't mean it is a classic. So if you hate all music that is not from the 2000s, does that mean that they are not classics.

This is a great song. It is not my favorite Eagles song, that one is Take It Easy. Though it is still pretty good.

I rather like the song, both for the vocals and the underlying meaning. XDD I like weird songs like that, but yeah. I've been reared an Eagles fan as it is, so of course I was introduced to "Hotel California" when I was quite young (same with ST:TOS, but that's another topic ;D) and...well...I've just liked it since. It has a great sound to it.

I also like singing along with it. It's fun to imitate his voice. I don't know band members' names, sorry...just music. ^^;
