I think some people here are too cynical. I enjoy Eggleston's photographs even though there are some that I don't find interesting. Because of his casual composition it looks like you are looking through his eyes. As someone who never lived in America, especially in the past, I find his subjects appealing. Maybe many other amateurs took photographs like these but who knows? I have not seen any books compiled with their work.
I suggest to just look at art for what it is without trying to find out if the artist deserves his fame or not, whether his work is creative or nothing new. If you see some art you don't like just move on.
