Mis cosas preferidas de 2011
A la hora de recopilar los mejores discos del año siempre me enfrento a la misma disyuntiva: elegir lo que realmente me ha gustado o lo que, además de gustarme, creo que es relevante. Así que, saltándome el protocolo, ahí van dos listas complementarias sobre lo que, a mi humilde modo de ver, nadie debería haberse perdido en 2011 dividido en dos listas: modo Resacón en Las Vegas (los discos que le recomendaré a cualquiera ante una cerveza) y modo Sentando Cátedra (un desapasionado repaso a los Discos del Año en sentido académico).
