Le migliori canzoni del decennio 2010-2019 (200-101)

Posted on by Andrea Manfredi

Ci siamo: dopo i 200 migliori dischi della decade appena trascorsa, A-Rock si è cimentato nella costruzione della lista delle 200 migliori canzoni degli anni 2010-2019. Anche in questo caso l’impresa non è stata per nulla semplice: dall’elettronica all’hip hop, dal folk al rock, ci sono stati innegabili highlights in ogni genere ma anche molte perle nascoste che meritavano di essere evidenziate. Non temete, le canzoni imprescindibili, da Happy di Pharrell Williams ad Alright di Kendrick Lamar, passando per Runaway di Kanye, ci sono tutte. Ma chi avrà vinto la palma di miglior canzone del decennio?

Oltre ai già citati Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West e l’onnipresente Pharrell Williams, abbiamo cercato di dare spazio a tutte le sfaccettature della musica più bella degli anni ’10 del XXI secolo: il folk gentile di Sufjan Stevens, il rock epico dei The War On Drugs, i vecchi leoni come Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds… ma anche il pop sofisticato di Lorde e il pop-rock dei Coldplay non potevano mancare!

Anche in questa occasione, per favorire la varietà di artisti proposti, abbiamo adottato alcune regole: non più di cinque canzoni, di cui due appartenenti allo stesso disco, per ciascun cantante.

In questa prima puntata avremo le prime cento melodie, vi diamo appuntamento a domani per il secondo capitolo della lista delle 200 migliori canzoni! Buona lettura!
