The Eagles: Hotel California

Sure, you spend the first 4 minutes and 19 seconds wondering what the hell a "colita" is (for the record, it's a mistranslated term for kind, NoCal buds), but then Joe Walsh and Don Felder kick in with one of the best bouts of dueling guitars of all time. Soaring harmonies, slide guitar, Walsh's 'stache—as Björn Töroque puts it, "It's an overbite-inducing, closed-eyed jam that inspires air guitar in the best of us."
