From an Esquire article on Haim

http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture...nyone-can-love

Haim are like Fleetwood Mac in another way. Many credit Fleetwood Mac with the birth of "adult contemporary," that most hated of genres that takes from other genres and makes it palatable to the masses. But Fleetwood Mac also made something unique and beautiful. Lindsey Buckingham's guitar thrashing didn't fight with Stevie Nicks's wistful singing; they resolved into something we can all agree upon. One of the best things about Fleetwood Mac, aside from the harmonies, is that you can walk into any bar in America and put one of their hits on the jukebox. No one will complain. Quite a few people will get that familiar rush of pleasure from a song that never gets old. Haim haven't proven themselves as timeless as Fleetwood Mac, but they pass the jukebox test. Sit down anyone you know and play them the new Haim album — your mom, your grandma, your uncle, your friend who hates everything, your twelve-year-old. If they have a pulse, it's a safe bet that soon enough they'll be nodding along.
