Eagles

This band has been accused of being sexist.

For me, their greater offense is being sappy.   After all, plenty of bands over the years have been EXTREMELY sexist in their lyrics and haven’t gotten panned nearly as much.

So it’s much more painful, to me, to have to listen to Don Henley trying to croon “Desperado” than it is to hear the “sexism” of “Lyin’ Eyes”…after all, women DO cheat too.

My preference is to hear them either rock out or perform some good old fashioned pop, with the emphasis on pleasant harmonies rather than whatever-the-hell-they-happen-to-be-saying.  Which they do quite a lot, at their best.  And this IS their best.  Most of it, at least.  Meh.
