Pierro Scaruffi thread V.1 - The Fact that so many books....

Go onto his database and search for a band you like. Post whatever pretentious, agreeable, or absolutely ridiculous opinions he has.

I'll start with his magnum opus; the first paragraph of his beatles page:

"The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved."

>putting strauss above verdi
>putting strauss on the list at all

this guy is a fucking joke

also nice omission of all of handel's works outside of julius caesar in egypt despite messiah, saul, and judas maccabaeus defining a majority of the baroque style as well as bringing english into the fold of the operatic tradition

The fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber is even on that list puzzles me, let alone under "classical".

"The hype preceding its release did not help Blonde (2016), overcome the fundamental mediocrity of the lo-fi songs, as if they were merely reworked leftovers. The album can matter only to those who care about his autobiographical lyrics. All in all, the 45-minute video, Endless, that preceded it might be more interesting."

he's like 25% right but what kind of life do you have to live to be this old and bitter who hurt you
