I 150 album da ascoltare almeno una volta nella vita

I dischi imprescindibili non sono quelli che contengono due o tre hit. Sono quegli album che vanno ascoltati nel loro insieme perché non sono una banale somma di canzoni più o meno belle, ma la fotografia dello stato di grazia di una band in quel preciso momento storico. In studio o anche dal vivo. Sono spesso pietre miliari, opere destinate a durare nel tempo, a lasciare il segno in più generazioni.

Facile pensare a The Dark side of the moon dei Pink Floyd o a Pet Sounds dei Beach Boys. Ma anche a Kid A dei Radiohead, Blonde on blonde di Bob Dylan, American Idiot dei Green Day o a Me against the world di Tupac Shakur.

Così, per non farci mancare nulla, ne abbiamo selezionati 150 che per noi sono il simbolo della bellezza in musica.
