Τα 250 καλύτερα άλμπουμ του 21ου αιώνα σύμφωνα με το Rolling Stone

To 2024 μας άφησε πριν από λίγες ημέρες, κάτι που σημαίνει ότι έχουμε ζήσει ήδη 25 χρόνια στον 21ο αιώνα. Αυτό το ένα τέταρτο αιώνα λοιπόν, έδωσε την ευκαιρία στο Rolling Stone να ασχοληθεί με μία από τις αγαπημένες του συνήθειες.

Να φτιάξει δηλαδή μία λίστα που θα συζητηθεί. Έχουμε λοιπόν τα 250 καλύτερα άλμπουμ από το 2000 και μετά με επιλογές που κινούνται κυρίως γύρω από την Beyonce και την Taylor Swift και τους υπόλοιπους σε ρόλους κομπάρσου.

Ροκ άλμπουμ συναντάμε αραιά και που, ενώ ο πιο σκληρός ήχος βρίσκει εκπροσώπηση μόνο από τους Deftones, τους System of a Down, τους Mastodon και τους Converge. Ούτε καν ένα στα 50 δηλαδή. Έτσι όπως πήγε η λίστα δεν μας κάνει εντύπωση η απουσία των Slipknot, αλλά δεν μπορούμε να πούμε το ίδιο και για τους Tool, αφού κάνει μπαμ το πόσο λείπει το Lateralus.
