Rok jak to rok. Ma całe 365 dni. Muzyka jak to muzyka. Ma moc przez całe 365 dni. W tym roku jak co roku w muzyce znów dużo, dobrze i konkretnie. Gdy zawodzą Ci znani, to zaskakują debiutanci. Gdy rozczarowują nowe twarze, to powalają giganci. Ot, normalna kolej rzeczy. Jak było według mnie w tym roku? Zobaczcie sami.
