Rolling Stone назвал лучшие альбомы и синглы года

Rolling Stone опубликовал списки лучших альбомов и синглов этого года, а мы еще раз уяснили, что журнал в общем-то не про музыку.

Судите сами. Кайни Уэст оседлал оба списка; альбом Кида Рока на три позиции выше альбома Майи; много хип-хопа и неожиданный комплимент The Black Keys... Ну, зато теперь мы знаем, что у Элтона Джона и Питера Вульфа в этом году вышли пластинки.
