Halbzeit: 2012 – Die Listen der anderen
Musik, Musik, Musik. Soviel zu hören, soviel zu bejubeln, soviel zu ignorieren. Musikmagazine und Blogs suchen mithilfe einer konstanten Auswahl Licht in diesen Dschungel zu bringen, spätestens, wenn die Favoriten am Ende jedes Jahres auf einer kompakten Liste zusammengezählt werden.
Doch immer mehr Publikationen führen bereits zur Mitte des Jahres eine erste Zäsur durch, vielleicht auch, damit nicht jene Veröffentlichungen überbewertet werden, die gen Ende des Jahres noch frischer und stärker in Erinnerung sind. Wir haben deshalb nun auch zur Jahresmitte eine Übersicht über die am höchsten bewerteten Alben zusammengestellt, an der sich zwar gewisse Tendenzen ablesen lassen, aber kein eindeutig dominanter Konsens. Es bleibt also spannend.
Eine Liste fehlt natürlich noch: Unsere Rückschau über das zurückliegende Quartal. Die liefern wir euch in Kürze, bis dahin erstmal viel Spaß beim Stöbern.
