Why can't all Eagles songs sound like Hotel California?


I hate the fuckin Eagles man. HC is like it's by a totally different group. They hit this amazing vibe for exactly one song. The rest of their songs are terrible. Why?!!!!!

Henley was great on 'Boys of Summer' post Eagles.

I do love that track, and I like Joe Walsh solo, the group just irks me beyond belief.

True. Their only decent song.

Peaceful Easy Feeling is my favorite of theirs

Sounds exactly like Take it Easy and Lyin' Eyes. They're basically the same song and I can't stand any of them.

Kind of like how Norman Greenbaums only good song is "Spirit in the Sky."

reply

It's my least favourite Eagles hit. Give me I can't tell you why, New kid in town, take it Easy any day

reply

Witchy Woman and New Kid In Town are my favorites.
Never been a fan of Hotel California.
Worst song by them? Desperado!!!!! 😖

reply

That would be boring.

reply

All their other songs sound identical, but identical bad. Desperado is the only other unique song and it's cheesy as hell. At least if they all dounded like Hotel California, they'd be identical good. Terrible band.

When the Hotel California album was originally released, reviewer Stephen Demorest wrote something about the band that has stayed with me ever since:

"How many times can you indict your lifestyle before you're finally guilty?"
