老鹰乐队应该说是天才中的天才，七十年代红极一时，他们快歌够劲，劲到爆炸，慢歌够抒情，听极不厌，演出乐器功力深厚，而且节奏感强烈。说它是美国最伟大的摇滚乐团，一点也不为过。他们的录音注重声音质素，其中一曲脍炙人口的《HOTEL California》（《加州酒店》）更是经典中的经典，歌声的质感，吉它的音色，鼓声的沉重力感，加上千万人呼叫的现场感，令此曲成为历来最能考验音场、音色、高低频伸延度与动态冲击力的现场录音。
I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleamin her eye
It's interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation?
Is the heir dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!
