**💭 Thoughts:** Opening with the iconic title track, the Eagles’ legendary fourth studio album *Hotel California* serves as one the 1970s greatest rock albums. It’s a consistently wonderful, inoffensive album with many amazing songs. While it’s personally not my primary taste, I’ll never be mad if any tracks off here were to come on anywhere. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Hotel California 🔵🥇 2.) New Kid 🟢 3.)
