well i said if i ever heard Hotel California again i'd scream they just played it...

[bridgit]

on the Grammies...but i'm not going to scream after all...i'm getting proactive; i give you the only arraignment of that tired ass old song worth listening to :thumbsup:

Gypsy Kings - Hotel California, 1991

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. MOST "classic rock" songs are so ridiculously overplayed...

that hearing ANY of them again is torture. And most popular songs regardless of genre get the same treatment. That's one of the reasons I quit listening to commercial radio over ten years ago (besides the fact that a dispiriting percentage of what they play is crap, that is).

2. geawd you got that right friend...

[Elidor]

3. There are a lot of reasons why people should throw things at the Eagles

But that song is not one of them.

[Hissyspit]

4. Yes, but that version by Rascal Flatts should have had something thrown at it.

[bridgit]

5. thank you!! that did not help one iota...

[AlCzervik]

6. is that who that band is? They made it sound like muzak

total suckiness.

[Zookeeper]

12. Unfortunately, I heard them....and wondered who the heck...

they were and why they were on T.V. I hate the song to begin with, but that lame-o rendition was just...well, typical of the Grammys.

7. My dear bridgit!

Well, hey!

Now that's a version I haven't heard before......

Thank you!

Verrrrrrry nice!

But don't shoot me....I do love the other version....Don Henley's... :scared:

:hi:

[bridgit]

9. Gypsy Kings are very cool, Peg, and Henley does just fine; but living in...

California as i/we do, as do others of course, that song has had it's day; as for Henley, i'd take Boys Of Summer and/or Heart of The Matter over Hotel any day of the week
