Les classements, rien de tel pour s'éviter de passer son temps à chroniquer tout ce qui sort en restant "réactif" face à l'actualité, et mettre en valeur les albums qu'on estime vraiment au-dessus du lot.
Comme pour les albums de 2006 et 2005, cette page est facile d'accès (colonne de gauche), et je la modifie régulièrement, déclassant parfois des albums moins bons que je le pensais aux premières écoutes, remontant ceux qui tiennent mieux la route, ou ajoutant ceux que je découvre après coup (je le fais encore pour les albums de 2005 et 2006).
Parce que qualité ne rime pas forcément avec difficulté d'accès, les albums à la suite desquels le genre est colorisé sont des albums très plaisants, accrocheurs et réussis, donc que je conseille à tous.
