and Goldmine magazine's website has this to say about him:

Pete Pardo doesn't seem to have as much published writing, but a lot of rock critics just took to YouTube with video podcasts, and in some cases online magazines, which is also how Sea Of Tranquility, the name of Pete's website as well as YouTube channel, started out, though there have been print issues at times.

I've seen some pretty strange "best of" lists from more prominent rock journalists and magazines, too. Remember that godawful Rolling Stone list of greatest guitarists a couple of years ago?

And I suspect that some rock critics sometimes trivialize hits and praise deep cuts to show they have more refined tastes than average music fans. I think that's silly as well as snobbish.

Fwiw, I think my list is better than theirs...but of course I would think that, lol. But it is more in line with fan favorites.
