UN GRAPAT DE TRESORS QUE M’HAN ALEGRAT EL 2020:
[Instruccions d’ús: 1) Es tracta de llistes totalment subjectives, ordenades de més a menys segons el nivell d’impacte que m’ha provocat cada referència. 2) Desglosso els discos del 2020 en elapés, cançons i versions per mirar de fer llistes menys llargues, però òbviament els discos de la segona i tercera llista (especialment els dels primers llocs) podrien estar a la primera i viceversa. 3) Totes les obres d’aquestes llistes em semblen absolutament recomanables, encara que no siguin necessàriament les millors dels seus autors, sinó simplement les que m’han acompanyat durant els últims dotze mesos. 4) Espero que gaudiu descobrint o retrobant un bon grapat de joies.]
