I love the Stones, but they have a plethora of easy-listening tunes (Angie, Wild Horses, Beast of Burden, etc.. could probably name 20), and A LOT of crap that comes with having a career spanning 5 decades. Almost all Rock and Roll acts have songs that dip into easy listening. Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, the list could go on and on.
Pigeon-holing the Eagles into one category, and then lambasting them for it, is completely ridiculous. I'm not even a big Eagles fan, but it seems like some kind of sour grapes, for some reason. Did Henley bang this guys wife or something?

Well because walk on the wild side featured cross dressing, male prostitution and a groupie giving head.
So what he's talking about is more lyrical I guess then anything else.
Listening to edgy music just to say that your listening to edgy music which makes you edgy.
In other words he's trying to be the cool kid in his article.
Which is fine.
Hell I used to listen to satanic music growing up like real satanic music guess I should hate the eagles because they don't talk about sacrificing babies to the Morning Star.
