Anyone know of a more moronic and shallow ******* of a music critic?

Pierre Scruffi or whatever he's called.

He's like the Christgau of obscure Prog except his site is actually useful and his reviews are longer than one sentence.

worst of the worst by far, his top album ever is Captain Beefheart "Trout mask Replica" as innovative as the album is, its unlistenable.

I don't pay attention to him, because I usually disagree.

He's an arrogant bastard.

The Daily Dischord review site that's sometimes cited on Wikipedia has some pretty bad ones.

I love me some Christgau. It's best not to take him too seriously. Even though he takes himself pretty seriously.

It just hurts me that there is such a poor writer out there, and prominent too. Some people may actually listen to him...and that is very dangerous

He'll die soon enough. Or go deaf, but I don't know if that would affect his reviews at all.

I don't know how he thinks he can sum up an entire record with two sentences of insults.
