Hotel California track ranking

9. Pretty Maids All in a Row (Track #7)
Score: 25 (Average Rank: 7.5/9)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin, HBJDubs (#5)
Biggest Detractor(s): Jesse_Custer, Seanchan, MetalmindStats (#9)

BlueCrystalTear: The silence is unnecessary and the shortness of this one gets drowned out by those around it. It's still good though!

8. Wasted Time (Reprise) (Track #5)
Score: 31 (Average Rank: 7.1/9)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): CasanovaZelos, Snake5555555555, neonreaper, ZeroSignal620, HBJDubs (#9)

BlueCrystalTear: If we're really separating them; AFAIK the band no longer does.

7. Victim of Love (Track #6)
Score: 37 (Average Rank: 6.4/9)
Biggest Fan(s): HBJDubs (#3)
Biggest Detractor(s): BlueCrystalTear (#9)

BlueCrystalTear: This one is forgettable because of just how great the rest is. That and this was primarily Don Felder's song, so Henley didn't have the same passion for it that he does his own compositions.

6. Try and Love Again (Track #8)
Score: 46 (Average Rank: 5.7/9)
Biggest Fan(s): Snake5555555555 (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Jesse_Custer, Raetsel_Lapin (#8)

BlueCrystalTear: The only Randy Meisner vocal here. It's not Take It to the Limit but it's almost there.

5. The Last Resort (Track #9)
Score: 51 (Average Rank: 5.4/9)
Biggest Fan(s): Jesse_Custer, MetalmindStats (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#9)

BlueCrystalTear: While it goes on a little too long, its still epic, and I honestly feel bad putting it this low.

4. New Kid in Town (Track #2)
Score: 60 (Average Rank: 4.4/9)
Biggest Fan(s): neonreaper, ZeroSignal620 (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): HBJDubs (#8)

BlueCrystalTear: Its surprising that this is the only Glenn Frey vocal on here, and that alone makes it a standout since its among his best.

3. Wasted Time (Track #4)
Score: 69 (Average Rank: 4/9)
Biggest Fan(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): CasanovaZelos (#8)

BlueCrystalTear: Underrated Don Henley ballad. The instrumental outro (originally separated due to LP restrictions) punctuates it, too.

2. Life in the Fast Lane (Track #3)
Score: 76 (Average Rank: 3.3/9)
Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, Seanchan, HBJDubs (#2)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#6)

BlueCrystalTear: A song that somehow manages to mix the thrills of drug dealing with the eventual placation one feels. Probably because of the drugs themselves.

1. Hotel California (Track #1)
Score: 125 (Average Rank: 1.2/9)
Biggest Fan(s): CasanovaZelos, Jesse_Custer, Snake5555555555, BlueCrystalTear, neonreaper, Seanchan, ZeroSignal620, HBJDubs, MetalmindStats (#1)
Biggest Detractor(s): Raetsel_Lapin (#3)

BlueCrystalTear: Like those guitars. The theme. All the good stuff.
