Re: Celebration of "Hotel California" Album!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HOTEL CALIFORNIA ! I loved this album from the first time I heard it on the radio. A true classic and the number 3 selling album of all time in the US. If I had one complaint it would be that Glenn should have had more songs. He could have easily sung LITFL. And, TALA is the sleeper of the album. Randy did a beautiful job on the song. It is one of my favs from the album. Had Randy not left the band it was supposed to be released as a single after NKIT & HC. It would have been top five for sure.

This is Grammy month, so I thought I would acknowledge the Grammy's for each of the band's albums or singles off of the album. So for this album ...
On Feb. 18, 1977 - Hotel California (the single) won the Grammy for record of the year and New Kid In Town won for best vocal arrangement.
To say these were well-deserved is a huge understatement. The album should have won more than two awards, IMO, but I'll take it.

I agree Dreamer ! NKIT should have won for best vocal performance by a group. They were up against FM, who won album of the year. Both great albums. It would have been cool if both had tied and won for album of the year - they BOTH deserved it.

Can't express in words how much I adore NKIT.

Happy birthday, RFF!
Heres a Rock History Music video to celebrate the album, “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Hotel California.”
There were actually two of these I didn’t know: one regarding Glenn’s experience recording LITFL and the band recording The Last Resort.
