I heard the three hit singles from Hotel California waaaay too much on the radio back in 1977. And now Classic Rock stations play the song "Hotel California" so much that I have to turn the radio off when it comes on, or else get sick of what is actually a great song ("Stairway To Heaven Syndrome" psychologists call it). I was, however, a big fan of the album from the git-go, hearing it for the first time in late-December 1976, when the album was played in its entirety by the local rock station.
