Write-in OptionThe only correct ansewer is, was, and always will be, Hotel California.
In 2008, Felder described the writing of the lyrics:
Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words. All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into L.A. at night... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that... what we started writing the song about.
Henley decided on the theme of Hotel California, noting how The Beverly Hills Hotel had become a literal and symbolic focal point of their lives at that time. Henley said of their personal and professional experience in LA: "We were getting an extensive education, in life, in love, in business. Beverly Hills was still a mythical place to us. In that sense it became something of a symbol, and the 'Hotel' the locus of all that LA had come to mean for us. In a sentence, I'd sum it up as the end of the innocence, round one."

Cool story bro time: sometime back in the early 1980's I stayed at the hotel on the cover of the Hotel California Album. I didn't know who the Eagles were at the time, however. -

The Last Resort is kind of obscure, and the only decent honorable mention after Hotel California. Fuck the rest.RaceBannon said:

In Yellow Snow's defense: Early to mid 80's was when Don Henley and Glenn Frey went off and did their solo things. So it's possible he was young and missed the late 70's onslaught of Eagles 24x7.salemcoog said:
