A edição americana da Rolling Stone fez uma lista interessante. Convidou alguns músicos de renome para indicar as músicas favoritas de determinados artistas e movimentos musicais. Entre os convidados para opinar estão Bono, Yoko Ono, Keith Richards, Dave Grohl, Art Garfunkel, entre outros. No total, são 50 artistas que participam dessa seleção.

Desde as melhores músicas de John Lennon (feita, é claro, pela Yoko) até as canções mais notáveis de New Orleans (feita por Robbie Robertson), tem muita coisa boa nessas seleções. Nomes que nunca tinha ouvido falar antes, mas que me impressionaram bastante quando fui começar a pesquisar. Vale a pena uma conferida.

Abaixo, segue a seleção feita por 22 artistas. As demais serão postadas depois. Coloco aqui ainda nesta semana, aguardem!
