Unforgettable – La nostra discoteca
“Limitandoci” alla musica dell’ultimo secolo, e anche così la montagna da scalare si è presentata altissima, abbiamo provato ad individuare, nei rispettivi generi musicali, alcune pietre miliari, gli “indimenticabili” che hanno fatto la storia della musica degli ultimi cento anni. Avremo dimenticato qualcuno? Probabilmente sì, ma se la nostra discoteca susciterà, almeno in parte, la curiosità di ascoltare un album o un autore in cui ancora non vi siete imbattuti, o di avventurarsi in un genere musicale a voi meno noto, beh allora l’obiettivo potrà dirsi raggiunto!
