Also, thankfully we still have a few amazing crotchety old school Rock critics kicking around. Namely former
Village Voice stalwart,
Robert Christgau.
I will add that I feel like Ryan Schrieber prior to selling off
Pitchfork to Candé Naste and retiring to a Brooklyn brownstone so he could go collect obscure Reggae and Dub 45’s in peace, was probably the closest thing my I had to generational music critic with an opinion of of his own. I think the best rock critic going today is the surprisingly divisive, Steven Hyden.
