it was just a song that i had always been aware of and wondered about. i didn't know what the hotel was supposed to be: a haunted hotel? a brothel? a cult? the ambiguity was engrossing. i also didn't really know much about the eagles and what rock critics thought of them... maybe i knew their lead singer was named don henley, but it's unlikely.

i don't remember what the other kids chose. i have a dim memory of "hair pie" by capatain beefheart being chosen by this especially cultured student but i am not sure how possible that is.

didn't vote but i would've put an earnest vote for hotel california. i'm no eagles fan but there is something intriguing about the song. i think there is some thread like "what exactly is going on in hotel california" that breaks it down musically and it's a really good ILM thread!

don't fear the reaper doesn't do much for me imo. i didn't even really know the song, i had to look it up. didn't realize blue oyster cult was even a 70s band, for some reason i thought they were some bunch of jerkoffs like primus or something. oh shit that's because of oysterhead! man that band sucked

and just what the hell is going on in "Hotel California"?
You gotta endure Howard 'n' Robin but here's Don Felder discussing the composition of HC:

didn't know Don Felder was a full partner, unlike poor slaves Schmitt and Walsh, hence the lawsuit.

Yeah, legally Felder had a leg to stand on. He was part of eagles inc.
I liked hearing (dimly in the background) felder's reggae rhythm box instrumental demo for HC in the eagles doc. Is there a leak/boot of it anywhere?
