    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HC!

    I love every single song on this album. The first Eagles song I ever heard is on this album (Victim Of Love), and this album is basically the soundtrack to my childhood... so I am eternally grateful for it. (:

    The Eagles album I play more than any other and is just behind Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here as my all time favorite album.

    Though it was played many times as a infant/toddler, I didn't own my own copy until age 5 in 1981 when my folks bought me the 8 Track (they repeated Wasted Time Reprise to extend the playing length of 8 Track). Then my mom bought me the vinyl on Veterans Day 1981 (which I had until it got lost in a flood). Then first cassette copy was at Christmas 1981 (replaced in January of 1984 then again in March of 1991 (the 1991 copy my mom (may she RIP) bought me whilst my older brother got a flash in the pan rapper Redhead Kingpin's album and he griped about me re-acquiring and I responded "my other copy went to make its maker a long time ago"). First CD copy was when I got an order from BMG Music Service club (then replaced with the remaster from 1999 which Ted Jensen did a damn good job with the remastering).

    As far as the songs go, my favorites are "The Last Resort", the title cut, "Wasted Time", "Pretty Maids All in a Row", Heck the whole album.

    When I heard the In the Studio episode in 1994 (then re-aired with a modified script in 1996 and Redbeard no longer said ex-Eagles members), Glenn said everything came together for that album (songwriting, guitar playing, record production (right on the money)) plus Don Henley's story about the preachers calling Hotel California "evil" and Joe Walsh's bits were funny. Also that was when I heard about how "Life in the Fast Lane" came about.

    It doesn't sound like an album made during the year of my birth. Kudos to the band and Bill Szymczyk for how it sounds and also to Kosh for the classic album cover.

    Happy Anniversary, HC! This album is incredible. Apart from the title track, its ballads make me really love it... The Last Resort, Pretty Maids, Wasted Time... Gorgeous songs that are a perfect contrast to the rockier tracks on the record. Truly one of the best albums of all-time!

    Love love love this album and of course the title track means so very much to me. It's the definitive Eagles song and album for me.

    It's the birthday of the single, not the album, but it's still worth celebrating! What an iconic song.
