Uppgjör:
Gott betra best
- hvað segja útlendir gagnrýnendur um popp-árið 1990
Síðustu vikur liefur skolað á land
áramótauppgjörum erlendra tón-
listarita og er jafnan fróölegt að sjá
hverjum „spekingamir" hampa á
áramótum.
í flestum tilfellum eru það nýliðar
í bransanum sem hljóta mesta lofið
en eldri spámenn þurfa að gera
þeim mun betur til að hljóta náð
fyrir augrnn og eyrum dyntóttra
gagnrýnenda.
Hér fara uppgjör fjögurra blaða.
Annars vegar vikuritanna Melody
Maker og New Musical Express og
hins vegar tímaritanna The Face
ogQ.
Þrjú fyrstnefndu blöðin raða plöt-
unum í sæti eftir gæðum en Q fer
aðra leið. Blaðamenn þar á bæ
treysta sér ekki til að númera list-
ina heldur útnefna 50 bestu plötur
ársins 1990. Þetta setti undiritaðan
í bobba, enda óðs manns æði að
fara að telja þær plötur allar upp.
Varð að ráði að velja þau tuttugu
nöfn sem líklegast væri að landinn
þekkti og hvers verk væru fáanleg
á íslandi.
