Los 100 mejores discos de la decada
Otra lista, esta vez con una peculiaridad. La revista Rolling Stone no ha hecho simplemente una encuesta entre sus editores sino que ha acudido a críticos, artistas, y a representantes de la industria para elegir los mejores discos de esta década.
A pesar de la escasa perspectiva que nos da el poco tiempo transcurrido, es curioso comprobar que personalmente me parece una lista mucho mas atinada que de costumbre:

Al parecer los ganadores indiscutibles en el ránking son Radiohead con nada menos que cuatro álbumes en la lista. Y probablemente sea merecido. Si no por la calidad absoluta de su obra (que no la niego) sino por su influencia en otras bandas. Pero… ¿Tres discos de U2? ¿Cuatro de Kanye West?. En fin, si a alguien le sirve de ayuda, he remarcado mi selección particular en negrita. ¿Y la vuestra?
Pero… ¡todavía falta un año para que termine la década! ¿Es que no van a salir discos buenos en 2010?
.-= El último artículo de Román en su blog es.. 1995: Frank Zappa (1994) =-.
Lo mismo pensé yo. Imagino que son de los que piensan que las décadas empiezán en el 00 y acaban en el 09. Además, supongo que hay competencia para ser el primero en sacar estas listas. No te desanimes, aún os quedan tres semanas para sacar vuestro disco…
