Well, sorry to be pedantic, but that's not strictly, too. Even as a veggie, I know the difference between cows and pigs ; )
But you don't recognise that a burger's normally an all beef patty named after a German port city? Hamburgers are named after Hamburg presumably cos its where they first became popular, (or at least the meatr part I think the bun was added in the US) not because they're made out of ham. doh.

Truth be told, I have no problem with the myth. To deny their role in popular culture/modern history would indeed be like calling the earth flat. I just don't want to listen to them.

Too right. I make all my value judgments by consensus. Never see a movie if it's not in the box office top 10. Shop at Gap. Vote for whoever's topping the polls. get my music from the Clear Channel. Saves the hassle of having to make my own mind up.

Why should anyone care what this ass who admits he 'plays Tupac in clubs' thinks about rock music? He's obviously completely clueless, and entirely jumping on some idiot's bandwagon when he slags The Beatles, Velvets, Pink Floyd etc all in the same article.
All the so-called 'music-journalists" articles like this tell anyone is "I'm a complete idiot and I don't know what I'm talking about". So shut up!!
I got the same feeling reading alot of the responses on this thread. Tends to discourage respect.

Before you get too high and mighty about it, you may want to read the article again. This time with your reading specs on! ; )
Then you might notice that it wasn't the same person slagging all those albums off, but by different folk who have, of course, all made better records than the ones they are slagging off ; )

oops! ok, I didn't really read that very carefully before I decided to eat my foot. still, it remains a bunch of pointless whining about supposed sins of rock journalism. In the words of the Anti-Nowhere League "So What?"

Raw Power is just a trailer park guy jumping around with his top off. I'm sure other trailer park guys have done it well before him. Or did he do it better?

I just don't understand how people can hate The Beatles.
Even although I gave into them reticently, there is something about them still I don't care for much, and that's just how 'complete' and 'rounded' their music is. Sure it alludes to having some rough edges at times, but it's still awfully wrapped up. The vocals never stray, they're extremely attentive, and I've never cared for that much.
I like hearing much of what they've done if someone else puts them on, but I rarely choose to play them.
I don't understand why anyone hates any of the music I like (I'm sure we're all the same), but if they know why they do, that's all that matters IMO.
