Of course it's annoying when reviewers don't like groups you like, but if you pay attention to what and why they like or dislike groups, you can infer whether you will like them.
It was no surprise to me that every book review of The Show That Never Ends (which is a rather idiosyncratic history of prog rock) I read that made fun of such bands sooner or later brought up the Ramones as everything prog rock failed to be - apparently every critic wants to be Lester Bangs. But this was useful information about the reviewers, for the next book review of theirs I read.
The idea of the Ramones as the beau ideal of what rock is just baffles me. An amusing joke at first, but as labored and theoretical as the worst prog rock, just a different set of poses. All the same name, all the same song - that's revolutionary and freeing?
If you like the Ramones, more power to you. Just don't rank on those who like MacDonald and Giles.
