Tempo di fare un riassunto sulle cose migliori ascoltate nel 2011. Ho un bel po’ di arretrati che potrebbero meritarsi una citazione, ma non l’avranno, il tempo è tiranno.
Nel fare il listone ordinato per data d’ascolto ho ripercorso il 2011 e rimembrato quali sono i dischi che mi han fatto compagnia. Ad essere bravo dovrei mettere le copertine, ma sono davvero troppi e sarebbe una missione titanica che non ho in mente di fare. Posso rimediare un po’ lasciandovi un prezioso link che contiene tutta la lista ed anche le cose che mi son piaciute meno: http://rateyourmusic.com/~cianix. Non è una grande politica di diffusione ma è il primo dell’anno ed ho mal di testa… Devo aver esagerato con la festa.
