Hotel California vs Rumours

[I Coulda Hada VH]

Which of these epic albums from 1976 and 1977 respectively do you like better?

The Eagles - Hotel California

vs

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

[JUNGLE DRUMMER]

Rumours. Not even close. Eagles are a band I just cant get into, save for a small handful of tunes. Hotel California is easily one of the most overplayed tunes on classic rock radio. Cant stand that song.

Fudd is not going to be happy with you! Have you ever listened to the entire Hotel California album?

I have. My oldest sister is an Eagles fan. Not my thing. I find much of their stuff boring. Not as boring as that Pink Floyd shit, but boring nonetheless.

[CalFB]

Rumours for me. In fact, Fleetwood Mac over the Eagles, by a mile.

Sssssssshhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiitttttttt.

The eagles. Rumors is a fine album but hotel California is just a beast of an album.

I love them both, but I have to go with Hotel California.

[Naked Wake]

this was hard for me because, unlike the camp that feels the title track is overplayed, I think HC is one of the most epic songs by any band... ever. I like HC better than any song on the Rumors record, and I REALLY LOVE Rumors.

That being said, I did vote for Fleetwood Mac on this one because, top to bottom, it's a much more solid album.

[Wild Ranger]

Not a big Eagles fan, but I easily pick HC here.
Don't like Nicks and Buckingham-era (pop era) Fleetwood Mac at all. But if we're talking about Peter Green and Bob Welch-era, that's the other story.

[Dave's Dreidel]

That's like saying the Mitch Malloy era was the best Van Halen.

[Brett]

I hate the Eagles so definitely Rumours.

Dude he’s one of these guys that doesn’t like anything that was popular. Only good music is the shit that nobody wants to listen to.

I think all 8 songs on HC are masterpieces and You Make Loving Fun is the best song on Rumours.

Fleetwood, by a few light years.
