Top Album 2020

Il 2020 è un anno che passerà sicuramente alla storia e non dobbiamo certo noi spiegarvi il perché. Avevamo timore noi di RockGarage che, in un’epoca come questa in cui per una band pubblicare un album non è altro che un motivo promozionale per tentare di fissare date live, tante formazioni avrebbero tenuto i loro inediti chiusi in un cassetto attendendo tempi migliori (2021?!). Molte realtà hanno sicuramente scelto questa strada, ma di sicuro il 2020 non è stato un anno povero di musica, segnando, tra l’altro, ritorni di grandi band come The Smashing Pumpkins, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Killer Be Killed. Noi ci abbiamo dato dentro come sempre, ascoltando tonnellate di album (anche digitali, come nuova politica di sito permette) e pubblicando in totale 541 recensioni, di cui 421 album pubblicati proprio nel 2020 (il 78% sul totale). Alla luce di questi ascolti eccovi, come di consueto, le nostre classifiche di fine anno. Chi tra i redattori ha voluto, ha inserito anche la migliore copertina e il miglior videoclip, mentre su Spotify potete trovare una playlist dal nome Top Song 2020 dedicata ai migliori brani dell’anno che si è chiuso.
