UN PUÑADO DE TESOROS QUE ME HAN ALEGRADO EL 2016:
[Instrucciones de uso: 1) Se trata de listas subjetivas y ordenadas de más a menos según el nivel de impacto que me ha provocado cada referencia. 2) Desgloso la lista de discos de 2016 en elepés, canciones y versiones para intentar hacerla menos pesada, pero obviamente los discos de la segunda y tercera listas (especialmente los de las primeras posiciones) podrían estar en la primera y viceversa. Ídem con la lista de conciertos. 3) Todas las obras de estas listas me parecen absolutamente recomendables, aunque no sean necesariamente las mejores de sus autores, sino simplemente las que me han acompañado durante los últimos doce meses. 4) Espero que disfrutéis descubriendo o redescubriendo unas cuantas joyas.]
