Le 250 canzoni migliori del 21° secolo nella classifica di Rolling Stone Usa

Analogamente, qualche tempo fa, Rolling Stone aveva pubblicato anche la sua top 250 dei migliori album del 21° secolo, una classifica in cui, se Quen Bey, alias Beyoncé, domina con il suo “Lemonade“, non mancano altre artiste femminili di successo di questi anni, come Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple, Adele, Lady Gaga, Missy Elliott e Taylor Swift (tutte tra le prime venti posizioni della classifica). Sorprende – anche se solo parzialmente – il secondo posto dei britannici Radiohead con “Kid A“, seguiti da “Blonde” di Frank Ocean. In buona posizione anche l’album-testamento di David Bowie, “Blackstar“, che conquista il 15° posto, mentre un altro maestro come Bob Dylan piazza al n.19 il suo disco del 2001, “Love And Theft“.
