Retrospective Cultural Consecration in Popular Music

Rolling Stone’s Greatest Albums of All Time

Vaughn Schmutz

Emory University

Acts of cultural consecration set sacred cultural producers and products apart from their profane counterparts. Some acts of consecration occur retrospectively, such as Allen and Lincoln’s examination of the retrospective cultural consecration of American films. In this article, the author extends Allen and Lincoln’s findings to the field of popular music by considering the effects of popular, professional, and critical reception on the likelihood that a popular music album was retrospectively consecrated by Rolling Stone magazine.

Key Words: music • critics • popular culture • consecration
