Reasons: (1) Worst bassline ever. Really try to hear the rythym of it...none. (2) Absolutly the most repetitive, redundant guitar solo that never frigin' ends. And that sucks because its not a difficult one. I love how all these rock and roll old people say that it's the best rock solo of all time but its played on nylon strings. Yeah really hardcore guys. (3) No one likes a whiny voice. When he says "Pink champagne on ice" and "just cant kill the beast". Holy crap that guys voice sucks. All blubbery. (4) The worst part of this song is obviously the solo, but the next thing is that everyone and their uncles brother LOVE this song. Theres nothing good about it that a human ear would react pleasantly to. Thats why i believe that we are closer than ever to Orwell's "1984". If someone tells you "this is a great song", test it, put it to trial. Dont just go along with what someone says, like your grandma, dancing, telling you this Eagles song is the best. Haha. You know thats happened alot.

you made me laugh out loud but I refuse to go lol on you and typing "ha ha ha ha ha" didn't work for me either.
Man, you're almost right. The worst song in music history is the accoustic version of Leila. Love the old rock version, but man that version throws me into a boredom coma. I'll give you Hotel California in the 2 slot though.

Can't have a bad bassline since it is so easy to dance to.
There is no guitar solo; it is only that some has no vocals.
Nylon strings are very hard to amplify, so I doubt they are what was used, but would not matter anyway.
Whiny voices are just what you want to express the angst of modern corruption in places like societies like California.
Pink champagne on ice is parody of what California thinks is class, and "just can't kill the beast" is parody of intravenous drug abuse, with "stab him with our steely knives".
It is the classic tale of the innocence lost from urban decadent influences.
A most humble, self deprecating, and real warning that everyone can relate to.
If you think it is a bad song, then imagine it being played by the Greatful Dead.
So I think it is the band you have a grudge against, not the song.
It is the only good song I think the Eagles did.

Amazing, here i thought it was a decent song. Hmmmm, they sure made a shitload of money from the worst song in history. Obviously you are an educated person

you probably love hip hop and rap. Dude, I play keyboard and I can tell two things 1. you're probably under 25 and 2 .- you have a hell of a lot to learn about rock n roll. but lets all accept your opinion as the only correct opinion. well gotta go burn my eagles collection anfd find some madonna to start listening to.............NOT!!!

I like it. Isn't music a matter of personal taste anyway? For me that song in the 80's by Dexy's Midnight Runners, called Come On Eileen is the worst thing I ever heard, and theres lots of bad ones. That song almost makes me wanna go stab myself in the ear with a fork. I loathe it, eww.....

Hey! I love Don Henley's voice!
I'm sorry, the song is definetly overrated, but it's defitetley NOT the worst. Go listen to some Hilary Duff and Linsey Lohan and come back and tell me what's the worst song in history.

there is not any longer something i might desire to verify that replaced into satanic approximately it, and that i'm a christian. concerning the meaning of the song. i for my section felt it replaced into approximately somebody loss of life and going to the afterlife. a million. he's driving a bike, get drained, the sunshine forward is a truck that slams into him, killing him 2.He can no longer leae the inn, very like the loss of life can't pass lower back residing lower back. Others experience it fairly is approximately drug habit. That christian co-worker merely occurs to verify the song in a definite way and FEELS that it fairly is satanic whilst it may no longer be. It merely relies upon on the guy fairly.

I do agree that the song is very overrated but it is by no means the worst song in history.
