[연말결산]2007년의 앨범-Rolling Stone, NME, Uncut, Spin, Mojo, Amazon, Allmusic, Pitchfork

상업성과 미국식 루츠 그리고 현재의 미국음악인 힙합에 상대적으로 높은 평가를 주는 롤링스톤, 쿨한 영국록에 집착하는 NME, NME에 비하면 다소 클래식록에 접근하는 Uncut, Mojo, 최신에 경도된 Pitchfork 그리고 기존의 세일즈와 적당히 타협하며 지속가능한 세일즈를 위한 음악성을 배려하는 Amazon Editor's Pick, 그리고 여러성향이 복합적으로 공존하는 올무식의 pick까지 Megazine별로 편차는 있지만 Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., Arcade Fire는 고루게 높은 평가를 받았다. 기본적으로 Rock'n'Roll의 Attitude와 Energy를 지닌 활기찬 Electronica가 지금 시점에서 가장 주목받는 현재의 음악이며 미래의 음악인 것이다.

역시 롤링스톤은 Bruce Springsteen과 John Fogerty을 선택. M.I.A.가 1위가 된 것은 나름 새롭고 Creative에 대한 고민이 담겨져 있어보이지만. Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Britney Spears를 망라하는 이 차트의 정신분열적 접근 방식은...
