I hate to admit it, but Christgau. He can be a bit of a caveman sometimes but at least he's clever and not hopelessly pretentious (or a pedo)
>>61232312
Scaruffi is not bad at all, /mu/ just can't bring themselves to like anything that more than 10 people like/is endlessly contrarian

ERSATZ SHIT
Why do people still care about critics anyway? Maybe back then when you had to go to the store and buy albums, and other than the radio there was no way of previewing the music conveniently, they were useful because you had no idea what the album would be like. Now anyone can listen to a whole album on youtube or spotify, and you can see for yourself if you like an album or not.
after looking at this, no one

It's an easy way to find good music, and it's nice having a trustworthy second opinion when you don't know the first thing about art like myself, although I'm learning.
>>61232742
move Bangs to Good Tier and Fantano to Bad Tier
>>61232742
Rolling Stone isn't even worthy of bad tier, it just shouldn't exist at all
>>61232742
honestly this
>>61232525
I much prefer Scaruffi's rankings desu, his decade personal bests are pretty abysmal, Tim Buckley, Faust, and Soft Machine aren't in the top 40 for the 70s..
