Hotel California
EaglesAn absolute classic album. The musicianship and vocal harmonies are outstanding.

Big band jazz is not something I would listen to on a regular basis but there is no denying the talent of the musicians and the fantastic orchestration. I don't give it 5 stars only because it's not really my style.
Now we are talking! Great collaborations!! It's so funny to me how you can ALWAYS tell Carlos's playing. I always think of the Frank Zappa song "Variations On The Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progressions" when I hear his playing on someone else's song.
A very good album but I need to pull back on the number of starts so I can reserve the 4 and 5 stars for true standouts. These guys absolutely have a very recognizable sound and catchy tunes but nothing that ever made them a favorite... Unlike my friend Kiok who is a big fan. Still sort of shocking The Stones never called them out on copying Start Me Up for the opening riff of Love Removal Machine. A fun listen for sure but nothing about it blows me away musically or vocally.
RIP Dusty. A great band and a fun, fantastic album. Though I much prefer the more bluesy, gritty earlier albums this one was super polished and well produced. Bonus: Gimme All Your Lovin' was used in The Santa Clause so there's that.
