That's actually one rare moment where I agree with him, I love The Police. But the rest of those comments are on a scale of stupidity I've never seen from a critic before.
His anti prog and anti punk bias is pretty over the top, especially because he reviews so much of it.
Calling Pink Floyd unoriginal and then saying Rolling Stones was one of the most original bands of their time, that's some good sh*t.
Self reminder, imitating black people is original.

Sorry, I'm with him on this one. No, no, f*ck no and no.
Yeah it's still stupid to say there is no original rock past the late 60s, but when people call The Fall one of the best bands of the late 70s/early 80s, I can understand the pessimism.
