In 1975, the Los Angeles-based band Eagles began recording the material that would become their landmark album Hotel California. The album was heavily influenced by Southern California culture, fame, excess, and life in Los Angeles during the mid-1970s.

One of the most significant changes occurred that year when Joe Walsh joined the Eagles, adding a harder rock edge to the band's sound. His arrival helped shape the iconic guitar work heard on "Hotel California," which would become one of the most famous songs ever recorded.

Why it matters:
The Los Angeles music scene of 1975 was at its creative peak, and the Eagles' evolution that year helped define the sound of Southern California rock for generations to come. By 1975, Los Angeles had become the epicenter of American rock music.
