La classifica delle migliori 50 canzoni d’amore indie di sempre, secondo il magazine Radio X

L’indie non predilige, in genere, le canzoni d’amore. Almeno quelle in senso classico. C’è però una lunga lista di eccezioni. A questa ha attinto il magazine Radio X per compilare la sua nuova classifica, intitolata “The 50 Best Indie Love Songs”. “Se stai cercando la playlist perfetta per una persona speciale – scrive il magazine nell’introduzione – vi proponiamo una selezione di classici indie che attraversano generazioni e sensibilità: dagli Smiths a Paul Weller, dai Killers a Florence + The Machine, dai Blur agli Yeah Yeah Yeahs“. Tutti questi brani – e molti altri – si possono ascoltare nella playlist live “Radio X Indie Love Songs” su Global Player.

Ecco allora la classifica delle 50 migliori canzoni d’amore indie di sempre, secondo il magazine Radio X (qui il servizio completo)
