I read through George Starostin's reviews and found them charmingly straightforward. He's a classic rock facist, and a rude a#shole..but not a pretentious c@nt like christigau, and he called clapton's "pilgrim" the worst album ever which is right....is this just a leisure activity for him or do they actually publish his reviews?

That's actually one rare moment where I agree with him, I love The Police. But the rest of those comments are on a scale of stupidity I've never seen from a critic before.

His anti prog and anti punk bias is pretty over the top, especially because he reviews so much of it.

Calling Pink Floyd unoriginal and then saying Rolling Stones was one of the most original bands of their time, that's some good sh*t.

Self reminder, imitating black people is original.

Sorry, I'm with him on this one. No, no, f*ck no and no.

Yeah it's still stupid to say there is no original rock past the late 60s, but when people call The Fall one of the best bands of the late 70s/early 80s, I can understand the pessimism.

Opinions are opinions.

But to go on an say originality in music ended somewhere in 1975 is not only ignorant, it's downright insulting to alot of musicians.

I am one of those people that does listen to a lot more music from the 60s and 70s than any other decade, but I don't know how anyone can say there is no original music anymore.

The more music there is, the more diverse influences bands have to blend together in order to create something completely different.

All of these fellows are incredibly stupid, yes. But I really wouldn't call it a stupid profession, Boo Boo.

I don't think you should have to go to school for this kind of thing, but I think it is very important that we have music critics. The general public is far too diverse and varied for an aspiring musician to recieve feedback from. Sometimes we need people from very specific backgrounds to rate and review music. The trick isn't finding one you trust, but using their opinions collectively.

This guy is a linguistics researcher and apparently one of the brightest in his field. But yeah, being smart at one subject can't prevent you from being a total retard at another. As this guy's other hobby as a music critic clearly proves.
"Blur without the serious guitarwork is like Jethro Tull without the flute, like the Mothers of Invention without the horns and chimes, like Gong without the pot, like Britney Spears without the tits"

I thought he had some pritty good analogys

Gong destested drugs, or at least that's what one guy told me.

My response was "are you f*cking kidding me?"
