Un puñado de tesoros que me han alegrado el año (por JC Badlands)

Black Midi

 

 

Un año más, nuestro compañero Juan Carlos Badlands ha empleado su tiempo en preparar unas listas iomposibles para que puedas hacer repaso del sño 2022 y quedarte con sus sugenrencias.

 

[Instrucciones de uso:

1) Se trata de listas totalmente subjetivas, ordenadas de más a menos según el nivel de impacto que me ha provocado cada referencia.

2) Desgloso los discos de 2022 en elepés, canciones y versiones para que las listas sean menos largas, pero obviamente los discos de la segunda y tercera lista (especialmente los de los primeros puestos) podrían estar en la primera y viceversa. Ídem con la lista de conciertos.

3) De la mayoría de los discos de estas listas podéis escuchar alguna canción seleccionada en mis playlists mensuales en la cuenta de Spotify “Badlandsbarna”.

4) Espero que disfrutéis descubriendo o recuperando un buen puñado de joyas.]
