It was not meant as an analogy, but just a personal compartmentalization of sorts, like how I lump Air Supply, REO, and Sherriff, or ASIA, TOTO, and Alan Parsons.... It probably has more to do with time & place than actual song styling. Maybe it's similarities in guitar sound, but I haven't bothered to analyze it, ... it just is. Though I never want to hear it again, Hotel California was for it's time undeniable.
