Because the Beatles is objectively the greatest band of all time.
And his classical/jazz taste is completely awful.

>Because the Beatles is objectively the greatest band of all time.
bait

>the Beatles isn't the greatest band of all time
Huh?

no they were quite mediocre actually

see: scaruffi.com/vol1/beatles.html

Scaruffi isn't more knowledgeable than any random fuckwad avant-teen on RYM, he just pretends he is and retards like you buy it because he has a website
most of my top albums are scaruffi-core anyway

>the greatest band of all time is mediocre
Literally doesn't make sense.

I think Korn sucks.

His classical and mainly jazz taste is ridiculously bad. Hence why Scaruffi drones are plebeian individuals who only listen to rock music.

>His classical and mainly jazz taste is ridiculously bad.
I disagree. Unit Structures should be #1 though.

>I disagree
>entry level free jazz should be #1
Yes, of course you disagree. You're as plebeian as him.

Scaruffi is a hack.

i mean I like the Beatles but those
are a funny read and he has his moments of good taste

>it's entry level so it suck!
Bet you're the kind of dude who thinks Kind of Blue is overrated also

what's a better free jazz album then? I've probably heard it.

>it's entry level so it suck!
Never said that. But it's clear that you haven't listened to a lot of jazz. Both the albums you just said are good. But you're literally
>I listen to jazz, heh. Kind of Blue, Love Supreme, Black Saint and The Sinner Lady, the list can go on...
And Scaruffi too.

>most of my top albums are scaruffi-core anyway
based Scaruffi drone

you're fucking deluded if you think Unit Structures is one of the first jazz albums normal people listen to

wtf

The Clifford Thornton New Art Ensemble - Freedom & Unity is probably top 3 free jazz exercises in the 1960's. Check out.
It's entry level free jazz. Not entry level jazz, definitely.

The dude has a rating for GYBE's first recording. Somebody did a calculation of the amount of hours it would take to listen to everything he claims, and it doesn't come out right. His shit is sometimes funny and good for the memes, but that's it, you can't actually take it seriously.

>The dude has a rating for GYBE's first recording.
no he doesn't?

>Somebody did a calculation of the amount of hours it would take to listen to everything he claims, and it doesn't come out right.
he's literally 63 years old he EASILY could have listened to ~30000 albums

post it, i'm calling bullshit

>But it's clear that you haven't listened to a lot of jazz
I've listened to over 400 jazz albums, some being large compilations such as Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Sevens, I've read books on the history of Jazz, seen Ken Burns Jazz, but yeah I know nothing right? Sometimes the most popular and acclaimed are the best. If anything you seem more like the one who doesn't know much about jazz, know it all contrarian really.

His 30's - 40's - early 50's is almost entirely worthless. Take here some good albums from this period.

Then you probably knows more than Scaruffi. The fact that you think his list is worthy definitely makes me think that you know shit and that you're LARPing.

Scaruffi has far more than 400 albums in his "best of jazz" lists alone, are you implying he hasn't listened to them?

I'm implying that his taste is garbage. 400 is a very short amount to assume he hasn't listened.
My point is that if you are really a jazz consumer as you said, you probably has better taste than him and recognize that his taste is shit. But the fact that you don't, makes me think that you also know shit about jazz.

Yes.

lol

I'd trust his taste over yours.
