Beste Albums 2006

Muzikaal jaaroverzicht Harry Prenger 14 januari 2007

De Afgrond vroeg aan bekende en minder bekende muziekliefhebbers om een lijstje van hun favoriete lp’s/cd’s van het jaar 2006. En verdomd, wat staan ze er weer mooi bij; gevarieerd, curieus, verrassend om niet te zeggen verbazingwekkend zo nu en dan. Met dank aan alle inzenders, mede namens Tom Waits.
