LAS 100 MEJORES CANCIONES DE LOS ÚLTIMOS TIEMPOS (SEGÚN LOS EXPERTOS)
He tomado las 100 primeras canciones de la lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos elaborada por la Revista Rolling Stone a partir de dos encuestasrealizadas en 2004 y 2009 entre 162 y 100 músicos, productores, periodistas y ejecutivos de la industria discográfica.
Aunque seguramente estamos de acuerdo todos en que esta lista contiene grandes canciones, probablemente incluso varias de nuestras favoritas, en mi opinión esta recopilación es tremendamente purista y académica, repleta de grupos y solistas ultraconsagrados.
Para otra entrada voy a seleccionar una lista más popular, basada en los votos de la gente, con la que posiblemente coincidamos más la gente de a pie (yo al menos no me veo del todo reflejado en ésta).
