Μέχρι πριν μερικά χρόνια, οι λίστες με τους καλύτερους δίσκους, που έβγαιναν στο τέλος της χρονιάς, ήταν συνήθως προνόμιο των μουσικών εντύπων.
του Ιωσήφ Αβράμογλου
Τώρα πλέον, μεγάλες εφημερίδες, περιοδικά ποικίλης ύλης, οικονομικές εφημερίδες, έως και ειδησεογραφικά πρακτορεία, έχουν πλέον λόγο στο τι θεωρούν πιο αξιόλογο από την δέσμη κυκλοφοριών, που είδαν το φως της αγοράς και της δημοσιότητας μέσα στη χρονιά. Παρακάτω είναι μερικές από αυτές τις λίστες, από καταξιωμένους φορείς, που είναι πιθανό να σας δώσουν κάποια ιδέα για το ποιους δίσκους να αγοράσετε ή να επιλέξετε να ακούσετε.
