Hotel California sounds good on the radio.

I am not commenting on the music. I am observing that recordings known to be of high quality sound on our audiophile systems sound as good or better than recordings that sound terrible on revealing systems. It is often said the bad recordings sound that way because they are "mixed to sound good on the radio". 

In the early days of CD technology, some record companies (accidentally?) used master tapes that had the RIAA equalization curve (used to cut LPs) to make CDs. 

If it's boring it doesn't matter how well it's recorded.

Not the eagles, come on. I actually had a guy who auditioned some speakers I was selling and requested that song. I told him no. 

Listen to the original HC maybe once a month (always skipping 2 of the songs).

I've not tried the CD decks in any of our Honda's (first one with a CD deck was a 1991 Accord Wagon).

I also watch this video clip 2-3 times a month.
