I discovered Genesis through the guy and while I agree with most of his ratings, I did find the constant Banksbashing to be a little odd. Though I have to give him some credit for turning me on to Genesis and the good Eno stuff, his dislike of Van der Graaf Generator prevented me from seeking them out (his page is like 80% complaining about Hammill's voice). I do think it's odd that for the ridiculous breadth of his website, he still has this ideal of what everything should sound like and his scale seems to go from "1 to Beatles". After reading his Autechre page I totally got turned off the dude - I wouldn't expect a classic rockhead to really get what they're all about, but insisting that the fans and even the band themselves were clueless because he didn't get it - that's some next level shit!
