Album Description & Collectors information: The Eagles' Hotel California is one of the most iconic albums in rock history. Released in 1976, it was the band's fifth studio album and their first with new guitarist Joe Walsh. The album was a critical and commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart and spawning the hit singles "Hotel California" and "New Kid in Town." The album's title track is a seven-minute epic that tells the story of a traveler who arrives at a mysterious hotel and is never seen again. The song is full of symbolism and has been interpreted in many different ways, but it is generally seen as a cautionary tale about the dark side of fame and excess. The other songs on the album are just as strong. "New Kid in Town" is a catchy power ballad about the arrival of a new member of a band. "Life in the Fast Lane" is a gritty rocker about the dangers of living a fast-paced lifestyle. And "Wasted Time" is a beautiful ballad about lost love. Hotel California is a classic album that has stood the test of time. It is a must-have for any fan of rock music. The album won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1977. The album has been certified 26x Platinum by the RIAA, denoting sales of over 26 million copies in the United States.
