Hotel California

Exploding into the scene in 1971, The Eagles became undisputed kings almost instantaneously. Fueled by the success of their two biggest selling albums, Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California (1976), the American rock band’s strength and classic song writing skills made them one of the greatest bands in the world.

As one of the first groups to go platinum with their iconic Greatest Hits album, The Eagles influence has always been popular; extending over to country rock, blues, classic rock and adult contemporary. Complete with enduring tunes that have forever made an impact on the music scene worldwide, their ability to successfully reproduce the well-crafted sounds and harmonies off their albums live is near-perfection.

Crowned number 37 on the Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, The Eagles’ Hotel California was the peak of the band’s performance. Propelled by Walsh’s guitar licks and Henley’s expressive vocals and lyric content, the record saw The Eagles put aside their bluegrass country vibes for a stronger rock n’ roll stance. And it worked beautifully.

Showcasing some of the band’s highly rated masterpieces; Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, Wasted Time and Victim of Love , the album is musically powerful and later defined the California rock sound of the 70s. Referred to as Henley’s “concept album” by the man himself, Hotel California still breathes new life into the rock music scene and will always be remembered as one of the greatest rock albums ever written.
