I'm the only one to vote for Hotel California. It's not necessarily the better song, but I think the Eagles are the more talented musicians who didn't have to rely on sound effects and synthesizers, etc., to sound decent. No fancy light shows, not much of a "cult" type of following. None of that. They were popular because they were a good band with talent, period.

Again I don't think the two are at odds with each other, each stands on its own.
But to claim Pink Floyd didn't have musical talent is just wrong. Some of the guitar solos are considered the best in rock history. Many think the solo in Comfortably Numb is the best ever.
I would say the guitar solo in Hotel California ranks in the top ten as well, even though it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
I think I've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that The Eagles were the more talented band. Unless you are willing to claim that David Gilmour is a more talented guitarist than Joe Walsh? Hmm? Anyone going to make that claim??

David Gilmour is the better guitarist. But again they were pretty much different genres. Pink Floyd was more ethereal, The Eagles were about relationships.
I don't want to disparage either so I'm done here. Enjoy them both.

What the heck would you participate on a thread for then? Argue your point. Show some clips to prove your claims.

Check any top 100 guitarists list. I'm not sure you will find Joe Walsh though I love his work. Gilmour will be front and center.
I'm not sure why this is an argument to you. I hold both bands as great, period.
.... which is the better song?
Musically and/or lyrically?
