Hotel California, Around San Francisco, California
The Hotel California, Fact, myth or legend?
“On A Dark Desert Highway…”
It’s one of the most interpreted songs in the history of rock n’ roll. That’s right, we’re talking about The Eagles’ classic “Hotel California”. Many people have argued, debated and researched what the true meaning behind this song actually is. Truth be told, it could be interpreted in a number of ways. A common belief is that the song is about purgatory, referring to the line “this could be heaven, or this could be hell.” Don’t get us wrong; this interpretation is completely understandable and valid, but members of the Eagles have spoken up and revealed the actual meaning behind the famous lyrics.
It has now been more than 40 years since the Recording Industry Association of America started handing out awards for million-selling LPs. Which makes this a good time to count down the biggest selling classic rock albums of all time.
