Look, and now I'm speaking seriously and with my hand on my heart: what you have written is unfortunately true: there’s almost no one in this review. And I’m very sorry about that. But I ask, how can you not know these milestones? Also because there’s a high risk that someone who listens to a band that is trying a genre of music for the first time might scream miracle or legend (not knowing who founded that music). I reiterate that I’m making a serious point, I believe it’s absolutely necessary to at least be familiar with the classics; they might suck, or not. But how the hell can you comment on new records if you don’t have "the basics"??? It's like playing soccer without knowing how to dribble, cross, or stop the ball. The fundamentals are essential! So the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Beach Boys, Bowie, Creedence, Dylan, Springsteen, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Young, Jefferson Airplane, Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, Zappa, The Clash, Cream, Marvin Gaye, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Jethro Tull, Joplin, Tom Waits, The Doors, Van Morrison, Allman Bros, John Lennon, The Band, King Crimson, Deep Purple, Ramones, Iggy Pop, and going further back to Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran, Woody Guthrie (to stop in the 70s) mean nothing? First, you MUST know them, then you choose based on your tastes and with informed judgment, not randomly.
