This is the Eagles at their best.  Every song on Hotel California has substance in both lyrics and music, and because of this, the album has really stood the test of time.  There are obvious classics like the title track and "Life in the Fast Lane", but lesser known songs like "Wasted Time", "The Last Resort", and "Pretty Maids All in a Row" are great tunes, too!  If you only own one studio album by the Eagles, this is the one to have.
