Investigates the strangeness of the presence of a soul music album - “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye – in a “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list by Rolling Stone magazine, whose massive presence is by albuns that derivates from a rock lineage. We argue that rock, reenacting evaluative traditions of high culture products (such as creative autonomy) became canon in pop music value. It can be seen within a cultural journalism that mediators (critics) are articulators of senses, that perpetuate values anchored by race, gender and idiosyncrasies - symptoms than Simon Frith (1996) calls “rockist critic”Downloads
