AGE ROCKET QUEEN

Los 150 mejores discos de debut, según ‘Classic Rock’

La influyente revista inglesa ofrece la lista definitiva de las obras maestras primerizas. No están los Beatles y sí Skid Row. Por 'Rolling Stone'

Metallica, en sus comienzos.

Para celebrar su número 150, la revista británica Classic Rock, puntal de la prensa rockera, ha elegido los 150 mejores discos de debut de la historia. Ojo: sólo llega hasta 1999, porque la redacción de la publicación quiere que las óperas primas del milenio sean elegidas por los lectores. Aquí dejamos la lista por orden cronológico. Sorprende que no esté el debut de los Beatles y sí el de otros grupos menos conocidos, como Detective, Girl o Warrior Soul.
