Robert Thomas Christgau (/ˈkrɪstɡaʊ/ KRIST-gow; born April 18, 1942) is an American music journalist and essayist. Among the most influential music critics, he began his career in the late 1960s as one of the earliest professional rock critics and later became an early proponent of musical movements such as hip hop, riot grrrl, and the import of African popular music in the West. He was the chief music critic and senior editor for The Village Voice for 37 years, during which time he created and oversaw the annual Pazz & Jop critics poll. He has also covered popular music for Esquire, Creem, Newsday, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, Blender, and MSN Music; he was a visiting arts teacher at New York University. CNN senior writer Jamie Allen has called Christgau "the E. F. Hutton of the music world—when he talks, people listen."

Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs [Music] neodb.social Douban
Derek & the Dominos genre: rock
release date Jan. 1, 1970 publisher: Universal
这张专辑被认为是Eric Clapton一生中最强的专辑之一,而且也被认为是布鲁斯摇滚的巅峰之作。是Eric在解散了Cream之后,和键盘手obby Whitlock,贝司手Carl Radle,鼓手Jim Gordon,以及吉他手Duane Allman组成的Derek and the Dominos推出的。关于Clapton解散Cream的原因,据说是由于他听了The Band的作品,觉得布鲁斯才是自己的方向。

这张专辑在1970年推出的时候,市场并不十分看好(Billboard第16,在英国甚至没有上榜),但经过岁月的沉淀之后,这张专辑的价值越来越得到人们的肯定,在1996年再版之后,2004年又发行了SACD版。

本专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第115位

The Basement Tapes [Music] neodb.social Douban
Bob Dylan / the Band genre: folk
release date Jan. 1, 1975 publisher: Sony
The Basement Tapes is a studio album by Bob Dylan and The Band, released in 1975 by Columbia Records.
Most of the album was actually recorded eight years earlier, in the basement of a house shared by the musicians. As Bob Dylan recovered from a near-fatal motorcycle accident during 1967, he called on The Band to help him experiment with themes of traditional folk music and Americana; these explorations, and their possible links with the earlier Anthology of American Folk Music, are explored in Invisible Republic by author Greil Marcus.
The sessions laid the foundation both for the approach of Dylan's 1967 album John Wesley Harding, and for the Band finding their own voice on 1968's Music From Big Pink. The Dylan LP, a critically-acclaimed departure from the surrealist rock and roll he had recently pioneered on his milestone trio of albums from 1965 and 1966, was as much of a shock to his fans as were those records to his earlier folk audience. Both it and Music From Big Pink would greatly influence the turn, by many contemporary popular musicians, away from the psychedelic music that reached its height in 1967, toward an embrace of country-influenced folk styles.
Material from the sessions had been heavily bootlegged since 1968, with the most famous being 1969's Great White Wonder. It wasn't until Dylan's comeback with Blood on the Tracks in 1975 that any of it was officially released, and The Basement Tapes was welcomed with high praise from fans and critics. Compiled by Robbie Robertson, the album features new songs and many overdubs made by The Band long after the original sessions. More complete and authentic documents of the 1967 tapes have since surfaced and are traded by fans, while the later Band tracks have appeared as bonus tracks on CD reissues of their proper albums.
The Basement Tapes peaked at #7 in 1975 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart and reached #8 in the UK. In 2003, the album was ranked number 291 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
