Las 500 mejores canciones del rock segn la

emisora Rock FM
Algo se est moviendo en el blog, porque estamos
empezando a recibir notas de prensa. Normalmente estos emails no solicitados me molestan y
los envo directamente a la basura, pero empezar a recibirlos en un blog que an est dando
sus primeros pasos es algo que hace ilusin. Al menos las primeras veces.

Pues bien, la emisora de radio espaola Rock FM nos ha enviado informacin sobre un evento
que realizaron este fin de semana. Ni ms ni menos que un maratn de radio en el que
pincharon las 500 mejores canciones de la historia del rock, escogidas mediante votacin
popular entre 300.000 oyentes. Me parece un evento interesante, y ms al ver la lista resultante
y comprobar que entre las 500 canciones hay pocas pifias, y casi todas merecen estar en el top
500 del rock. Es cierto que se col algn xito popero y que faltan muchos clsicos
imprescindibles, y que hay demasiadas canciones espaolas que difcilmente encajan en la
categora de "rock", pero pese a todo el resultado me parece bastante interesante.

Est claro que cada uno de nosotros cambiara la lista, subiendo unos temas y bajando otros,
pero qu caray, alguien puede negar que las 10 primeras posiciones son 10 temazos como
las copas de diez pinos? Es ms, cuntos de vosotros podrais poner en el nmero uno una
cancin ms impactante que la Bohemian Rhapsody? Por cierto, el grupo con ms canciones
es, precisamente, Queen con 20 clsicos.
