Well I seem to be using this little smiley sign more and more for reporters...

I can't stand The Eagles. Can't tolerate their lyrics. Can't bear their songs. Can't stomach Don Henley's super-smooth voice over super-smooth instrumentation, all filtered through super-smooth production. I know The Eagles rose to radio dominance before bands were more likely to wrap the blues in folk or combine rock with country, and they stood out in their era as a result. But their music doesn't stand the test of time, most obvious when lined up next to genre-blenders like Iron & Wine or Neil Young or even Michael Jackson. Cheesy lyrics; annoying songs.Does this mean doom for the fest? Doubtful. The second-tier of headliners includes one of The Strokes' few announced tour dates in years, along with amazing live acts like M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Monsters of Folk, and on and on and on. I'm personally happy with sleeper inclusions like Midlake, Sarah Harmer, and Mayer Hawthorne. And the folks who come for The Eagles and Phish will certainly stay for Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Blues Traveler, and Lucero.
This is just funny! The same person wrote these two remarks. Okay - so these are the acts this guy is looking forward to hearing, and he says the Eagles "music doesn't stand the test of time" ...
M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Monsters of Folk, Midlake, Sarah Harmer, Mayer Hawthorne, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green, Blues Traveler, and Lucero.
I guess there is just no accounting for taste sometimes.
I know I'm old, but never even heard of most of these acts. Speaking of the test of time - wonder how many people will know any of these names 30 or 40 years from now.

Really! The only one I've heard of is Pat Green!
This guy doesn't know what music is!

'Genre benders like Iron & Wine'? Who the hell are they?
This must be the first time Henley's voice has been described as 'super smooth'.
'Cheesy lyrics; annoying songs'. OK, pal. JUSTIFY IT. Why? Or are you just another in the growing list of 'journalists' who think it is more fun to vent their petty prejudices than it is to write about news objectively.
Reading these items just makes me roll my eyes. They're just your typical pretentious music critics loudly proclaiming their preference for obscure indie groups in order to prove that they have a much more discriminating musical pallette than the plebeian masses.
WhatEVER.
