Q: One of the things that interests me is how you come to conclusions

OP, why did you post a picture of an elderly homosexual man?

all nu males should be writing checks to this guy

Christgau was the original nu male decades before the term was coined.

He gave Replacements--Let It Be an A+. It's an ok album but let's not go nuts here.

How is that the one thing he's given a good score to that you single out?

>>73807177
every asshole i know loves that album

Someone pointed out in a thread the other day that LIB and Born In The USA were his #1 and #2 album picks for 1984. I was just saying that it was a good album but let's not get carried away. I'd give it a B. Born in the USA should have gotten a C rating.

But then again 1984 wasn't that good of a year so the competition was lean.

Once you've listened to that album, you realize instantly what a bunch of cheap ripoff faggots that the Goo Goo Dolls were, right down to copying Paul Westerberg's vocals.

I was going to draw up a list of great albums from 1984 but I only really listen to a few from then.
I wonder what happened.

Ride The Lightning, maybe Powerslave, Like A Virgin...other than that, there's not much. 1984-85 were two remarkably weak years.

Purple Rain?

Didn't some kid tried to set him on fire, during a Replacements show?

>>73807762
