>hates metal and prog for being pretentious
>that shit ain't rock-and-roll mang, it should be just three chords playing over a 4/4 backbeat that the kids can party to
>bands like AC/DC, Kiss, and Motley Crue play basic three chord 4/4 songs about drinking, fucking, and partying
>oh no, those bands are worse than Hitler
>y'know what's actually better? pretentious indie rock like Sonic Youth that mostly consists of whining about Republicans

Not even Sonic Youth like him.

Or Lou Reed also crapped on him.
Some of his more lengthy pieces are quite interesting reads, but holy god he should never try to discuss politics. Owww, my head hurts.
if you buy your music at walmart then Christgau is the man for you
Why, what happened.
He gave sonic youth shitty reviews tho
Daily reminder
Seen this joke before, please post better
Scaruffi is still worse. At least Xgau never talked about fucking little girls.
also backstreet boys :^)
>>y'know what's actually better? pretentious indie rock like Sonic Youth
Are you seriously implying that shit like Kiss is better than Sonic Youth?
>that mostly consists of whining about Republicans
Most of Sonic Youth's lyrics are apolitical. Youth Against Fascism is their only song that is blatantly about republicans.
Neither did Scruffy you idiot. Try to prove me wrong

Did a 14 year old write these lyrics? Not one of their better moments.
Scaruffi has some bizarre views but he has better taste than Christgau.
all rock is pretty shity to be honest, especially indie and prog
you know what, all music is fucking garbager
Kool Thing is a feminist propaganda song.
to be fair there was an actor super-villain crazily censoring all sorts of music at the time.
Yeah but those two songs are the only ones they made that very blatantly promote an agenda. Everything else is either apolitical or subtle.
Come on, that song isn't even that bad. It's not as if she's telling the listener to gas all men or inject your son with estrogen.
Tipper Gore? Yeah even Christgau noted with puzzlement why musicians were lining up to swallow Bill Clinton's cum when his VP was the husband of their tormenter for the last 8 years.
That song was written in 1990, the world was very different back then.
The same reason feminists didn't say anything about BC being a serial rapist.
He seems to share a lot of the same problems as most music critics especially a snob disliking of bands like AC/DC with a blue collar fanbase.
Yeah you'd think AC/DC would be just his kind of band, that basic three-chord barroom rawk he champions. He pretty much just wrote them off as misogynistic tripe.
I think it's because guys like Christgau have never been able to let go of or move past the 60s idea that rock should be some battle hymn of world revolution. They seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around the idea of rock just being good-time fun party music with huge hooks. No, everything has to be political and ah bloo bloo I hate Republicans George Bush is a stupid poopy head.
