hmm...this thread just came to mind after listening to the Live from the forum 2015 rendition of the song...but i see there's more interesting stuff going on here lately
The dynamic range is realy good from Hell Freezes Over, especialy Hotel California. Listen to the Kickdrum at second 32 if you want to impress with your Low.I'm mediocre at best so I listen to the Eagles. The Hell Freezes Over DVD has an extended version of Hotel California.
I was watching the Elton John Special on Disney+ Sunday night and was surprised by the number of youngsters in the audience who were singing along and knowing every word, even Elton commented on the situation. I can't imagine when I was pre-teen or teen seeing a large number of my generation going to see a 1910s-40s swing band or whatever.You can tell the Boomer crowd that voted for 70's rock isdying outbeing replaced by the younger generations. There is a lot of 80's and 90's music entering the top 10 the past couple of years.
And when enough time passes, you get some silly situations where old boomers keep saying it all went downhill in the 80', but youngsters are labeling vintage the music from 90' and they say "back then when music was great, when Blood Sugar Sex Magic was released".I'm young enough that I don't remember the Eagles being played to death in the 70's but in December one popular radio station here plays a Top 2000 of "the best songs of all time", voted for by the public.
For the past 20 years it was always a fight between Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, the Eagles's Hotel California and... something else.

I occasionally listen to a couple of songs from the Hotel California album that was ripped from an SACD ISO file. The sound quality is really nice but yeah, it's probably played to death for most.
Yeah. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.And when enough time passes, you get some silly situations where old boomers keep saying it all went downhill in the 80', but youngsters are labeling vintage the music from 90' and they say "back then when music was great, when Blood Sugar Sex Magic was released".
Ha, I definitely don't want all the Boomers to die. You and I might disagree sometimes on what makes for good music but there is no accounting for taste.I was watching the Elton John Special on Disney+ Sunday night and was surprised by the number of youngsters in the audience who were singing along and knowing every word, even Elton commented on the situation.
