Favorite music critics.

Everyone name a fav music critic, and why.

Mine is Robert Christgau, because he is fair with Prince, and overall fun to read.

Chuck Eddy is a horrible critic, but really fun to read.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Charles Shaar Murray, for his articles on Jazz, rock, Prince, the Blues, etc...
But most of all, for Crosstown Traffic...

I really like Chuck Eddy. I also like Christgau's taste, but his writing style wears me out fairly quickly. Same thing with Greil Marcus...
