os 00, los dos primeros lustros de los dosmiles. Incertidumbre que fue del 11 de septiembre a la crisis mundial. Del rave al rock revisionista; del emo al indie; de la distorsión retro al rock paisajista y melancólico, pasando por el rock bailable; del club al festival alivianado. Década en que el formato digital e Internet hicieron caer disqueras y democratizar la música; años de i-Pod, Guitar Hero y Rock Band; de las reuniones de Pink Floyd, The Who y Led Zeppelin (sin sus muertitos) y el deceso de Michael Jackson. Hoy, los 100 discos de rock que definieron esta década, ya por su contundencia, por lo que definirían, por su calidad e innovación, o porque aunque chocantes, fueron ineludibles. Los dígitos tras cada disco indican año de emisión. Ya vienen los 30 de electrónica, los 20 de hip hop, los 50 en español.
