A good example of Christgau's critical writing style that spawned several thousand lesser imitators. ( ) Christgau is the rock critic for the Village Voice. He wears his prejudices on his sleeve (e.g., he has a parochial love for New York City punk, but detests west coast rock), but where his tastes match yours his is a reliable and educated voice that can guide you to new artists to listen to. His pungent humor permeates his reviews, for example. his dismissive writeoff of Janis Ian as a "post-adolescent sobsister". Music that is so repellent as to not rate a review, he simply lists in a group entitled "meltdown" - anything by Airsupply for example. No other contemporary music reviewer approaches him in his knowledge and informed taste. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Robert Christgau on James Brown: "When he modulates to the bridge it's like the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters. After that he could describe his cars for three [LP] sides and get away with it." Christgau on Carly Simon: "If a horse could sing in a monotone, the horse would sound like Carly Simon, only a horse wouldn't rhyme 'yacht,' 'apricot,' and 'gavotte.'" Christgau on Van Morrison: "This is a man who gets stoned on a drink of water and urges us to turn our radios all the way into the mystic. Visionary hooks his specialty." Christgau on Lou Reed: "Reed Sounds like he's imitating his worst enemy, himself." (Lou Reed on Robert Christgau: "What a moron! Studying rock and roll. I can't believe it!") An indispensable book, Christgau'sRock Albums the '70s is the definitive guide to nearly 3,000 albums of the decade that brought us progressive rock, country rock, glam rock, funk, disco, punk, heavy metal, and new wave.
