Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I listen to a lot of music and sometimes I do not really know exactly how I would categorize artists in genres and I often use wikipedia as a resource for musical genres and seeing how artists are categorized. I also think it's important to understand the origin of genres as they often arise from political movements or from a very specific moment in history.

I think this is a very informative article. It is clear and cited, it has lots of photos, and it has quite a few notes on the references. However, the article focuses a lot on the history of art rock as a genre, ending its examples at the 1980s. It does not talk about the genre's current state or contemporary musicians who are influenced by the genre. There is only one entry on the Talk page for this article, a Radiohead fan who is very disappointed that they are not included. On the Radiohead Wikipedia page, art rock is in fact listed as one of their genres so it would make sense for them to be included in art rock's page. No one has refuted this user's claim that Radiohead belongs in the art rock page, but the user has not expressed any intentions of adding it themselves.
