[GoodTimes]

we all know that Coconut Juice is the greatest song of all time

[triangle23]

It's a great song, but I personally find it hard to name the best song of all time. There's just too many that I like.

[phil19]

its a great song no doubt, but i personally think summer of 69 by bryan adams is better

[ForeverDelayed]

Great song, decent hair. But really the competition is just too stiff, I don't even know if I'd put it in my top 100. I like Heart of the Matter more I think, but probably still not top 100 material. Don Henley is just one of those guys who is really talented and I respect him, I just find it hard to really flip out over anything he's done. Good solid music, but that's about it.

No, boys, musically, through and through, it's a brilliant song. The way that the instrumentals combine to create an atmosphere reflective of the lyrical subject is incredible. But that's my opinion.

[StarsForEyes]

I was just thinking about this today haha. God I love this song.

[Brandon Allin]

No, it's not, but it's a great song.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Maybe best of the 80's...

[Chromefox]

Don Henley bought me a glow stick. True story.

[Tristan Needler]

No. It's a pretty good song. Better than the Ataris version. Pales in comparison to many other Eagles songs though.

[SoggY ThE OnE]

No. It's a pretty good song. Better than the Ataris version. Pales in comparison to many other Eagles songs though.

I like the ataris version better actually

[Alex DiVincenzo]

No way the best of all time but a great song no doubt. Codeseven does an awesome cover.

[IWasaCamera]

Not a chance in hell.

No way the best of all time but a great song no doubt. Codeseven does an awesome cover.

Codeseven's adaptation, in my opinion, is one of the worst covers in all of history. Hell, I like DJ Sammy's a hell of a lot more than that of Codeseven. The entire musical execution contradicts the message.

[SeanEBoy2686]

no... close with the whole don henley thing... but no. greatest song of all time 'Hotel California'


and yes, his hair is great

[aircanada1555]

Ataris version is much better

[Indoor Living]

fucking awesome song. best ever? no. great fuckin' song though. god. haha. i love henley.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

I actually thought it was the only song that ever existed?

[skellorock]

if it were the only song that ever existed, then i would say the answer would easily be yes, but....

[phil19]

[Kid B]

[phil19]

[Hagysaurus Rex]

Good, but not greatest of all time.

I mean, that HAS to be Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl, Duh!

[darksk8er182]

I like the ataris version better actually

[Anthony Lutz]

I like the ataris version better actually

OMFG, I tHoUgHt The Ataris wrote that originally? You mean SOMEONE else wrote this? LAWLZ!!!11!!1

Ok, that was probably really immature, but I couldn't help myself!

I thought it was asking if Don Henly's version was better than The Ataris' or DJ Sammy's or anyone else's cover.

I totally change my vote then. This is nowhere near the greatest song of all time.
