Yeah, I was coming here to say the same thing.

Hey I liked the clash, and the rolling stones, and lou reed.

but I also really liked the Eagles.

People can complain that their music was safe and easy listening, or hillybilly rock. But you can't argue with the execution of their type of music.

the litmus test is really this.

The clash is really known for a couple of songs.

London Calling, and Rock the Casbah, and maybe even Radio Clash.

Lou reed is maybe know or recognized for a couple of songs. Unless your a hipster and you knew about Lou Reed before anyone else.

Sex Pistols (who were really the first truly manufactured band) were know for two great songs (God Save the Queen, I did it my ways)

The Eagles, when you look at their catalog, and especially their greatest hits, how many songs are they remembered for and are well known.

As much as the writer wants to classify rock and roll as sitting on an edge of rebellion and anger and crashing guitars and swearing, Rock and Roll is whatever people who listen to it want to define it as.

Sure the Eagles were safe, they didn't in the words of the doors want to murder your family and have incest based rap of their own mother), or rage at the world like the Clash.

They played music, that was their aim and their goal and they were exceedingly good at it. Probably one of the top musical acts from my day.

Sometime music is just plain music.
