Rolling Stone scureggia sentenzie e minchiate da un paio di anni a questa parte. La celebre rivista che fu si è letteralmente bruciata il cervello musicale negli ultimi mesi, dando vita quest’oggi a due classifiche alquanto discutibili. Quali? Quelle dei migliori 50 ALBUM dell’anno e dei 50 migliori SINGOLI dell’anno.
I risultati? A TRATTI sconcertanti, almeno per il sottoscritto. Esclusa la TRIONFATRICE assoluta, ovvero Adele, prima sia con 21, MIGLIOR ALBUM dell’anno, che con Rolling In The Deep, miglior SINGOLO del 2011, Rolling Stone ha cagato un bel po’ di stronzate niente male. Quali? A voi il compito di scoprirle, dopo il saltino, con le due TOP50!
