So what do you get if you put 150 rock critics in a room and request a list of fave albums of 2009? You get the same thing as if you put one rock critic in a room. Animal Collective as album of the year, Jay-Z’s crappy “Empire State Of Mind” as single of the year.
What is this shit?
Does nobody listen to fucking music any more? Where is Spider Bags? Where is Americans In France? Do the words North carolina mean nothing to em? Where is Black Eyed Eyed Peas???? (oh, yeah, 36th single). This is the state of rock criticism…? I think rock criticism is failing to raise to the occasion.
How can 150 music critics not have David Guetta among the top singles? Oh I see, they mistook the word single for the word track.
This is an embarrassment. The entire rock critic community is a revolting buncha soul sucking trend followers who wouldn’t know a good song if it sat on their knees and gave em a lap dance. It’s shameful.
