Bueno, ya dije al principio de la sección Joyas Musicales que había ciertos discos que no iba a comentar porque aunque sean verdaderas joyas, clásicos contrastados y pura historia del rock and roll, los veía demasiado típicos. No es por irme de “superunderground” y kvlt, es que creo que ya no se puede escribir nada más sobre ellos, ya el tiempo lo ha dicho todo convirtiéndolos en parte funcamental de la historia de la música. Por eso, además de los discos comentados con profundidad en la sección he decidido añadir este medio centenar (NOTA:Tras el cuarto aniversario del blog decidí ampliar la lista a 100 discos, y posteriormente a 250, así que algunos de los incluídos ya eran mas desconocidos ) de obras que considero básicas y clásicas. La mayoría son discos de estudio, excepto algún directo, por superar las grabaciones de estudio o por mostrar mejor la esencia del músico. Ahí van, sin ningún orden concreto:

Con este largo listado de clasicotes me quedo ya más liberado para comentar discos menos conocidos, bandas más underground, discos olvidados o rarezas de grandes grupos o bandas españolas que muchas veces por calidad y creatividad deberían estar más arriba, pero que por su contexto socioeconómico (discográficas retrógradas, haber surgido durante o a finales del franquismo) no pudieron mostrar su talla como músicos. Sobre estos 250 aquí citados, si los has escuchado perfecto, si no pégales una oída y descubrirás mucho material bien compuesto, bien tocado y bien trabajado.

Como ya he comentado en la nota de arriba, tras el cuarto aniversario del blog amplié la lista de 50 discos, que era la selección original, a 250 (alguno de los que se había reseñado en la sección joyas musicales posteriormente a los 50 primeros acabó entrando ahora en la lista). Si no tenéis muy claro qué escuchar esta semana, espero que os sirva de ayuda.
