  Strange. This is a great song but is always forgot on his greatest hits.

  When the music was the thing that he did best.

  When discotheque was the major thing, Village was the greatest.

  The 70's were made of many styles. Rock, Pop, Dance... and Rush.

  He made better songs. But this one crossed the years.

  A great, timeless song from a very underrated artist.

'Hotel California' is one of the most overrated albums and songs of all time. The cheese factor is high with this whole album and group. Springsteen is another overrated and hammy artist.
