Extremely Biased

[edit]

This "documentary" has an extremely biased view on popular music. It ignores disco music and most popular music artists who can't somehow be connected with rock music. I noticed most of the popular music artists from the 1920's and the 1930s such as Nick Lucas, Russ Columbo, Nat Shilkret, Bob Haring, Ben Selvin, Frank Munn, Morton Downey, George Olsen, Helen Morgan, Roger Wolfe Kahn, Abe Lyman, Fred Waring, Arthur Tracy, Jacques Renard, Richard Himber, Leo Reisman, James Melton, Scrappy Lambert, Donald Novis, Earl Burtnett, Gene Austin, Leonard Joy, Seger Ellis, Al Goodman, Harry Horlick, Fred Rich, Meyer Davis, Jack Denny, etc. etc. are completely ignored. It should have been titled "The Story of Rock and Roll" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.239.46.5 (talkcontribs) 22:25, 20 January 2015‎

That's your opinion. Anyway, I've moved that criticism from out of the lede (where it had quite disproportionate weight) to the Reviews section. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
