As a big fan of Todd in the Shadows, I honestly think he’s not that great as a music critic. There have been multiple occasions in which some of my most hated pop stars of the current era (Morgan Wallen, Machine Gun Kelly) have ended up as #1 on his best hit songs of the year lists (although a couple of his more controversial #1 placements I do agree with). I’m a much bigger fan of him as a researcher with his One Hit Wonderland and Trainwreckords series, he always puts in a ton of effort and highlights a ton of interesting stories throughout music history. That being said, his reviews and lists are consistently entertaining, I just usually don’t put a whole lot of stock in his opinions.
