前陣子和一個老朋友聊天,聊到年終榜單這件事,在實體唱片幾乎成為一種「周邊商品」的現在,年終榜的存在意義為何?
以前因預算有限,樂迷參考榜單的推薦來規劃自己買唱片的額度和品項,榜單有其實用的目的。
如今多數人都聽串流音樂了,不再會有那種「怕買錯因此要考慮斟酌再三」的心態,年終榜的「購物指南」功用相對也變低了。
不過,這樣反而讓年終榜回歸到一件很個人的事,它是一份年度的聆聽筆記,提供未來的自己參考,大概就是這樣;當然,如果有誰不小心因為參考榜單進而聽見了、發現了原來自己也喜歡的音樂,對於列榜與看榜的人,依然是件美妙的事。
我以前還會很費工地排名,今年不排了,簡單按字母順序列出35張2017年自己喜愛的西洋專輯(以及兩個日本男人的專輯)。
其中5張前面打*號的,是年度Top 5,套一句偶像的話:在危急欲墜之時救過我的音樂。
已經找好5首歌的YouTube連結,在最下面,不聽可是自己的損失啊。(是的)
謝謝2017,bye bye。
