1. Arthur... later I found out it was a person, the early editor of "Audio World". He was not as nervous as the current "music critics". In my memory, he rarely included personal preferences when introducing Chinese and foreign rock music, and his evaluation was very objective and pertinent.
2. Zhang Lei---Wang Xiaofeng, most of the first friends who listened to oral music only entered the vast music world of Europe and America after watching their "dialogue rock music", but in the past few years, After reading the "World Popular Music Guide", I rarely see their articles. I personally think their "experience" is unmatched by anyone in the country.
3. Yan Jun is about the same age as me. I still have his first music review - "Fever" (1995 Wuhan Youth Daily). He was once brilliant. , I have also seen his articles that excited me, such as "iron-blooded rock", but now he gets far more scolding than praise. I think, he is like China's immature rock, passionate, impetuous, lack of reason, He rarely takes responsibility for what he writes. Writing a book introducing Beijing punk was the biggest failure of his "music critic career". You must know that he became famous by being anti-business and anti-Beijing. As a developed man, Making a living by selling words, articles like "Lanzhou Ramen" are just hilarious!
4. Li Wan, my Hubei compatriot. When I was in Wuhan in 1993, I heard that he collected thousands of bayonet clips and CDs. His "music reviews" were very generous and tolerant. China The more orthodox "Reading" can publish his music review column - the best recognition is that the listener is interested. "Further North than the North" is an article I often read, and I am very moved, although I have not listened to it now. to the song by the Icelandic female singer he introduced, but that was enough.
5. Hao Fat, I rarely read his articles, mainly because I can’t understand the thoughts he wants to express. For him, rock music is elevated to a culture and art. I I feel that he pays little attention to the bottom layer of Chinese rock music. He is a good scholar, but not a good music critic.
6. Yang Bo, a radical southern music critic, but China’s social status quo caused him to be strangled as soon as he appeared. What he spread is what we want to know, but the Communist Party does not allow it. of.
7. Zhang Xiaozhou, Sun Mengjin, and Zhang Boyang. They mainly express their personal views on rock and society. They are very popular with everyone. I also like them very much. The difference between them and Yan Jun is that , the first three will not make a living as "music critics".
8. There are also some names that remain in my memory, Wang Yang "Audio and Video World", Niangziguan "Punk Era 1", Zhao Zhu "Music Paradise", Wang Xiaoluang "Popular Songs". . . . . . They are all very nice.
