I've never been interested in anything other than "Populist Criticism" and barely at that.. I'd only check something if I wanted someone else's opinion because the piece of art was rare.. But I do enjoy the disparity between truth and .... whatever...

Rolling Stone would say how a band like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin were garbage and wouldn't last 6 months, and when they triumphed, RS would hire new writers to say how great they were. It's a business. Quid pro quo. Richard probably didn't get an interview with them, and probably got one with The Doors (who I love). As for Pepper, I think it's not even close to the best Beatles album. I love reading things before history revises, but even George Martin thought songs like "Lovely Rita" and "Getting Better" were subpar throwaway songs. I love "A Day In The Life".
