Le più belle canzoni (straniere)

In una sorta di delirio estivo, forse dettato dall'afa, ho deciso di pubblicare la lista delle canzoni straniere che amo di più. Il criterio "limitativo" che ho utilizzato è stato quello di non inserire più di tre canzoni per artista anche se di alcuni di questi ne avrei volentieri immesso più di una decina (Gabriel, Genesis, Cure....). La numerazione non non intende esprimere un ordine qualitativo ma solo l'intento di vedere fino a che punto mi sarei spinto in termini quantitativi....non escludo di ampliare l'elenco, in un futuro molto prossimo togliendo la limitazione delle tre canzoni...
L'elenco è ovviamente in costante aggiornamento...
