    • 2004 October 31, Kelefa Sanneh, “The Rap Against Rockism”, in The New York Times‎[1]:
      Rock bands record classic albums, while pop stars create "guilty pleasure" singles. It's supposed to be self-evident: U2's entire oeuvre deserves respectful consideration, while a spookily seductive song by an R&B singer named Tweet can only be, in the smug words of a recent VH1 special, "awesomely bad."
