>Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic about Sketches of Spain and recalled being a young listener when it was released: "In 1960 [it] catapulted Davis into the favor of the kind of man who reads Playboy and initiated in me one phase of the disillusionment with jazz that resulted in my return to rock and roll".[18]

Why would posters on a music board care about what a loser who doesn't make any music has to say?

there's a group of like 3 60-year old autists on here who are obsessed with christgau

>the kind of man who reads Playboy
a straight guy?

Fuck this guy, he's not taking away anyone's enjoyment of music they love.

cuckgau is weird in that he constantly lusts over female artists in reviews, yet still bashes rock bands for being macho or sexist or whatever. like he thinks his sexuality is somehow not gross compared to every other man. like janet jackson would choose your bitch ass over anyone else in the music industry lmao

>Rockist rock critic cares more about music’s image than the music itself
Shocking

based Christgau dabbing on jazz pseuds

Playboy was pretentious and middlebrow back then

this. if it isn't cool or in some way related to post punk or metal, they don't care

No matter how much you try to claim yourself as a male feminist, all men are the same in the end.

do a 360 and walk away lolololol

BASED

>samefag upboating your own post this hard
Really, dude?

Do a 360 and walk away, lol.

You know, I am getting real sick and tired of this meme that every time two anons agree on something, it must be one samefag.

Nobody cares about my fucking grammar, pissface. This isn't high school English class.

You're overestimating his sense of self-awareness.

There's a couple of old faggots who make unironic threads about AC/DC, KISS, etc and they're still butthurt that Christgau said some unkind stuff about their favorite band like 35 years ago. We didn't used to have this bullshit like back in 2012 and you would have been laughed out of the board for discussing buttrock. I blame it on the 16 election which brought all these astroturfing literal boomers from Reddit.

Goddamn why do you keep deleting your posts? I'm just going to keep posting "Do a 360 and walk away" every time so it's not as if you're winning.

^This.

>number of riot grrl bands that have rewarded Robert Christgau with sex
...

The fucker will never give anything even tangentially punk-like less than a B plus because he likes the genre.

I'm not a fan of cocktail lounge jazz either.

Bridge Over Troubled Water [Columbia, 1970]
Melodic. B

this man was afraid of sex pistols back in the 70s, lol

Don't you mean the Ramones?

>I love this record--love it--even though it flirts with brutality much like how "Midnight Rambler" flirts with rape.

Ah yes, the great old days of discussing ITAOTS. Many tears will be shed for them.

Not.

It was still better than Soundcloud rap and Ariana Grande threads.

no, I mean sex pistols
he thought they were really bad
bad not as in "fun", bad as in "bad"

Then what the fuck was he doing wearing their T-shirt?

Get a Grip [Geffen, 1993]
There are no rules. Obscene megabucks, boring rehab, song doctors, turning 40, minuscule interest in doing something new--nothing stands between the world's greatest hard rock band and their best album since Rocks. The drugs long gone, they show a strong professional commitment to rebellion and an undiminished relish for the fleshpots. If the song doctors prescribed "I'd rather be O.D.in' on the/Crack of her ass," not to mention "It's like gettin' head from a guillotine," they were worth every point. And though at first you may miss the killer cut, the "My Fist Your Face" or "Janie's Got a Gun," in fact the midtempo, classic-rock, love-as-pain "Cryin'" should prove irresistible to anyone who doesn't equate good art with doing something new. A-

tfw you realise Christgau was just the boomer version of the modern bugman

It's more of a generalized statement in support of punk.

This album is fucking terrible, even the band themselves don't like it.
