Top 100 album di tutti i tempi

A proporre questa classifica dei 100 album di tutti i tempi è niente meno che l’ eminente Time. La riporta anche Stereogum che di classifiche non se ne perde una! -come noi del resto-

Come al solito, in tutte le classifiche, ci sono tanti nomi e tanti altri invece mancano. A mio modo di vedere l’assenza più grave è quella di Jerry Lee Lewis, soprattutto dopo che è uscito il suo nuovo album Last Man Standing, che a mio parere è il miglior album dell’anno; dove il pazzoide Jerry Lee ha dimostrato che è rimasto ancora qualcuno in America che sa cantare una canzone…ed Ella Fitzgerald…
