Hace unos meses mi amigo Adrián y yo emprendimos un nuevo ejercicio de calibraje en el que cada uno debía elegir sus cincuenta álbums imprescindibles. Aunque de inicio no impusimos ninguna regla finalmente acordamos intentar incluir los más artistas distintos posibles porque no era plan de incluir toda la discografía de los Beatles. A este respecto lo he hecho lo mejor que he podido. Aquí el resultado:
