Texas King Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Two classic tracks of American rock'n'roll. Your pick? I'm going with Fortunate Son. Although this song is much shorter and without a guitar solo(HC has a great solo), it rocks better and it seems like a greater classic to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Fortunate Son for me as well ! I like it because it rocks harder and has the man vs. government element. Hotel California isn't a bad song but it was so overplayed when it first came out and everybody I knew owned it; I really can't listen to it anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotel's ending guitar solos still hold up after all these years, but the rest of the song that preceded it is just meh to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 CCR's is more of a raw kick ass song, the Eagles tune is bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hmmmm it's actually close. the interplay between Felder and Walsh is gold. but i'm CCR. as a complete song. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not a fan of anything by Creedence and Hotel California is as overplayed as Tom Sawyer, but I'll still go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hotel California is much closer to the heart for me ( ;) ). Fortunate Son is great, but to me it gets old a lot faster than HC, not really one of my favorite CCR tunes. Now if you had said Up Around The Bend, with that incendiary riff? I might have a different opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 You guys are crazy. Just change the channel if something is overplayed. Then it’s not overplayed anymore because you’re not allowing it to be played :P Anyway, I’m going for the cooler rock song with the cooler lyrics - Fortunate Son 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) I fully understand the status Hotel California has achieved, but the Eagles in general - and that song in particular - have always left me cold .. It's just so lifeless to me I love Fortunate Son .. It's my favorite Creedence song and it has some passion behind it CCR wins this one ..

Check out this list: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_classic_rock_songs There’s a lot of awesomeness and goodness on there but more than a few that I don’t care about or dislike. I’d admit that they’re all classic rock songs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
