Después de comprobar que afortunadamente, y pese a los cantos de sirena, a los malos augurios, las reticencias, palos en las ruedas o sermones en mitad del desierto de algún iluminado, el rock n’ roll sigue su camino, compartimos nuestras opiniones individuales sobre lo que nos ha deparado 2022 con una selección de veintidós ejemplares susceptibles a un intercambio dependiendo del día. Surgen nuevas formaciones y nuevas tendencias. Siguen en plena forma algunos viejos dinosaurios y aparecen las novedades, bastantes son los aprecios y siempre habrá gratas apariciones. Sorpresas también, pero hablando de este movimiento universal llamado rock n’ roll, siempre extraeremos positivas sensaciones. No vamos ahora a debatir sobre el streaming y el consiguiente descalabro del negocio discográfico, porque aquí hay demasiados y encontrados puntos de vista entre todas las partes, que dicho sea de paso, se apuntan por decenas. Sin embargo, en este sentido hay disparidad de criterios entre el cine y la música, ¿no? La escasez de soportes en ambos casos no se mide por el mismo rasero, y hasta podríamos hablar de la literatura también, pero… Pero mejor será que posterguemos estas cuestiones para otro momento y nos centremos en asuntos más livianos, aprovechando la ocasión para despedir el año deseando a la familia GravelRoad76 y al resto salud y felicidad. Gracias por el apoyo. Gracias por las visitas en la web o en las redes. Gracias por el aliento o las amonestaciones cuando eran necesarias. ¡Gracias!
