I am far from a Christgau fan but I do think this is a fairly reductive take on him. He was frequently wrong and often biased but *far* from the standard-bearer of rock critic chauvinism that this piece makes him out to be. This is him attempting to grapple with the subject in 1970(!)

Was listening to The Who's Tommy on Spotify today and was struck by the difference in number of plays between the song on the top and the song on the bottom. Is it really possible that out of everyone who's listened to Pinball Wizard, only 0.001% have actually played through the entire album?
