Hotel California

"Hotel California" is a song by American rock band the Eagles, released as the second single of their 1976 album of the same name on February 22, 1977. The song was written by Don Felder (music), Glenn Frey, and Don Henley (lyrics), featuring Henley on lead vocals and concluding with a 2-minute-12-second-long electric guitar solo performed by Felder and Joe Walsh, in which they take turns playing the lead before harmonizing and playing arpeggios together towards the fade-out. The song is one of the best-known recordings by the band, and in 1998 its long guitar coda was voted the best guitar solo of all time by readers of Guitarist. The song was awarded the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978.
