Nero - Guilt - Full Official Video (MTA Records) Top 100 : les meilleurs albums de l’année 2014 2014 s’efface définitivement à la fin du mois. Comme chaque année, le temps du bilan arrive avec un peu d’avance sur celui de la crise de foie, de la découverte de cadeaux qui n’en sont pas et de la gueule d’ébène qui accompagne les réveillons. Pour retracer 2014 en images et en sons – et se souvenir des acmés discographiques de l’année presque écoulée – le hors-série annuel des inRocKs est disponible en kiosque depuis la fin de semaine dernière. Pour celles et ceux qui n’auraient pas eu la chance de se procurer un exemplaire du magazine, on a décidé de dévoiler le classement progressivement sur notre site. Les trente dernières places s’affichent sous ce paragraphe avec, déjà, l’apparition de quelques têtes d’affiche comme Pharrell, Aphex Twin, Chet Faker ou la prometteuse Fatima Al Qadiri.

The shoddily recorded and haphazardly manufactured shellac discs became a rather big boon as the '20s roared.
