Book excerpt: A collection of 34 essays in which some of the best rock critics of Generation X and Y address allegedly great' albums that they despise. A spirited assault on the pantheon that has been foisted upon this new generation of music critics, a defiant slap in the face to the narrow and hegemonic view of rock history presented by the Baby Boom generation's critics.
