Worst Music Writing 2007

british standards of masculinity

the whistle only dogs can hear

guy goes to Eagles show, gets all mad that the band he is seeing are the Eagles

I'd guess he's bringing up Neil Young to highlight the turns his career took after a successful period in the early 70s, how he managed to reinvent himself now and again, whereas the Eagles got kinda stale. Compare and contrast, innit. Nothing to do with Young being "obscure".

The Eagles didn't get stale, they just quit.

We got one of these threads for the 08? Ben Walsh (such a 90s lads mag journo name) decides that an Eagles review is the best place for him to desperately reassert his a) masculinity and b) love of obscure underground counter-culture acts like Neil Young.
