It's rock music and is not meant to be anything else. It's disingenuous to complain about something being exactly as it was intended...
A fair point. I don't like the Eagles for 2 very specific reasons. The first is the music, to me it seems boring and uninspired both in composition and performance. The second is the "super fans" who go on believing the Eagles are the pinnacle of musicianship and songwriting.
The latter of which is an opinion which I'm am obligated to deeply respect as someone who has a taste for a wide variety of music and understand there will be disagreements among people because what they like is personal. What bothers me is the people who, after a brief exposition on my avoidance of the eagles, decide to tell me that I'm wrong and I don't know what I'm talking about; it's very one-sided and the majority of Eagles fans I've encountered fall in line with that camp.
I respect what they did; it's hard work. Very hard work. I respect their success although I don't completely understand why they were successful (perhaps good marketing and branding.) I just do not find anything they've been a part of appealing.
