I 50 migliori album e canzoni secondo Rolling Stone

Ormai anche quest'anno volge al termine ed è tempo di fare un bilancio musicale su quanto di meglio abbiamo ascoltato in questo 2012. O quanto meno per Rolling Stone. La rivista ha infatti stilato la classifica delle cinquanta migliori canzoni e dei cinquanta migliori album dell'anno. Con non poche sorprese! Infatti, sfanculate le puttan-pop, nei piani alti delle classifiche troviamo rockettari e cantanti black. A salvarsi solo Taylor Swift nei singoli. Grandi trionfatori invece il boss Bruce Springsteen ed il talentuoso Frank Ocean, con i tormentoni dell'anno Psy e Carly Rae Jepsen nelle retrovie; come a dire che avranno pure fatto i miliardi ma la qualità è tutt'altra cosa! Ed anni luce sono anche le reginette del pop come Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj e Rihanna che non sono state manco calcolate...
