>caring about meme critics
Shig.
he's right you know
"The D+ instead of D- is because Pete Townshend likes it."
>>65429464
Why the fuck did he give it a D+?
I genuinely want to understand his point of view
>>65430944
Mmmuh pretentious art rock. It's not greasy punk from the streets of New York.
>>65430970
What a tit
>>65429464
Who?
>>65430944
Apparently the album that pioneered Progressive Rock is 'ersatz'... However that works
>>65431059
The anti-Scaruffi. He glorifies awful shit instead of pretentious shit.
>>65431093
TBF, he was writing that review in 1969 without the benefit of hindsight. IIRC he did later up the rating to a B or C.
>>65429464
One is pretentious look-how-good-we-are band,and the other is a person who gave all of himself to the album and with his help rap music has progressed forward.

I'm more interested in why soulja boi got an A-
>people here still think soulja boy is bad when all rappers that have blown up in the last 5 years owe their careers to him
when will the "soulja boy sucks" meme end?
>>65431133
The best I can figure out is that Xgau had some flashback to his childhood and assumed Soulja Boy was the 2000s Frankie Lymon. Other than that, I can't begin to guess.
>>65431147
when will this "soulja boy sucks is a meme" meme end?
>>65431157
>>65431147
Or maybe the guy was just a little smarter than /mu/ gives him credit for and realized that SB was the start of something big and not a cheap fad.
Xgau was always kind of pro-hip hop since the beginning in the 80s. He was instrumental in helping draw attention to it.
>>65431201
that's nice
>>65431201
You mean, a bit like In the Court of the Crimson King?
>>65429464
He's absolutely right.
>>65429464
This is the same guy that was pivotal in turning the Beatles the undisputed institution of popular music they're today. Draw your own conclusions.
>it's real
Who the fuck is this cunt and where does he live? I've fucking murder him.
>>65431396
scaruffi molest 15 girl on record... watch the streets homie
>>65431396
Reminder that your favorite album got a lower score from him than Aqua's "Aquarium".
>>65429464
Robert Christgau was the only trustful music reviewer, because he hated pretentiousness in progrock. Bands like Yes, King Crimson got the reviews they deserved.
Christgau is a retard with zero taste that made his career catering to dadrockers.
>>65431657
prove it
>>65431664
it actually didn't.
>>65431703
off yourself
>>65431745
>unironically liking progressive rock
Just admit Christgau is the master patrician
>>65431944
>not liking progressive rock

Only degenerates enjoy progrock. I have never met a person who enjoyed progrock and didn't use substances to alter the state of consciousness. Normies enjoy different styles of music and musicians enjoy classical music.
>>65433694
>degenerates
dank one homie XD

I like prog and I don't even drink
It's a cool genre

This is what cuckolding looks like
>Souljaboytellem.com [ColliPark Music/Interscope, 2007]
>Boy do the haters get busy on this 16-year-old. But scrutinize the "superman" matter (look it up) and you'll see that even if he thought he was sneaking something outlandishly filthy onto a pop record, his fans thought he was inventing a dance that involved flying, thus furthering the presumption of innocence so crucial to his cute. Unlike his crunk forebears, he's not into pimping or dealing or even strip clubs--"Booty Meat" is as explicit as his carnality gets, and not only is he looking not touching, he's hoping an amateur will "turn around just like a pro." He's still boy enough to worry about those F's, and the most winning of his many winning songs was written to, and on, his Sidekick 3. There are enough sonic strokes here to keep the wrong bizzer in ringtone rappers for a year. But Soulja Boy's spiritual secret is that with less subcultural support than, say, Be Your Own Pet, he's reached the top of his world on a few tips from ex-partner Young Kwon and the loyalty of human sidekick Arab. You can hear how tickled he is about it. A-
what?

Christgau only likes M.I.A. and The New York Dolls.
>muh MIA and Sleater-Kinney
In all seriousness though, he is pretty based sometimes
>>65435065
>Sleater-Kinney
can't be considered christgau-core until you get that rare A+ m8.
Christgau literally gives no fucks! He's based as all hell. He is also like 70 years old, give him a break if prog seemed too much in the light of the pretentions of hippies and if he can't really distinguish between good and bad hip-hop at his age.
