“why would you do such a crappy song?”
It’s a matter of taste. Everyone has their own taste. Why be presumptuous?

Don’t let the thumbs down on the Eagles Freepers get to you. The Eagles are one of the all time great bands and Hotel California was one of their best if not their best.

“The Disco Strangler” from the 1979 “Long Run” album is perhaps their masterpiece.

Face it the Eagles when they first came out was a chick band. Even Ronstadt was in love with them.
Felder was a good guitarist, could build a very interesting lead break.

"Face it the Eagles when they first came out was a chick band. Even Ronstadt was in love with them." They were the remnants of the musicians who went on tour with her.
Ronstadt was probably most responsible for the Eagles even forming as a group.
