    Default Piero Scaruffi (music critic)

    What do you think is the type of Piero Scaruffi?

    https://www.scaruffi.com/

    His site has many reviews and articles, and here is a bit of his most famous article on the Beatles.

    Searching his name in Google will give you images of him as well.

    ''''In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.''

    I'm thinking ILE, and at least alpha quadra?

    Certainly a lot of Ti there - he rates his favorite artist in several different categories for every year (!). His writing is also chock full of facts (Te stuff, dates etc.).
    I'd have to look more but first impression would be some introverted logical type.

    I can see why you might say LII but he uses very direct language that would rub a lot of people the wrong way, e.g.:

    "This history of rock music is not a history of the charts (which I consider an aberration)"

    From an Amazon review of his book: "Scaruffi's language is invariable blunt to the point of inflicting Grievous Bodily Harm on such holy cows as the Beatles and Elvis."

    I think ILI would work better, or LSI.

    "his central criterion is that pop music's merits are invariably in inverse proportion to their commercial success."
    (an outside judgment but an ILI could appear like this for sure)
