Unsere TOP TEN 2019
Ein CROSSFIRE-Jahresrückblick
Ein weiteres turbulentes Jahr liegt hinter uns. Erneut wurden wir von tonnenweise Original-CDs und Downloads geradezu erschlagen. Wie undurchsichtig die schier endlose Flut an Veröffentlichungen ist, wird vor allem in diesem Jahr besonders deutlich: Kaum ein Tonträger wird von zwei verschiedenen Redakteuren erwähnt. Auch die großen Namen in den Listen bleiben weitestgehend aus. Whitesnake, Kadavar und Balls Gone Wild schafften es jeweils dreimal in die Top Ten (wenn auch nie auf Platz 1). Avatarium (sogar zweimal Platz 1!), Pretty Maids (einmal Platz 1), Hollywood Vampires, Sabaton, Mike+The Mechanics, Flotsam And Jetsam, Exumer, Eclipse, Balls Gone Wild, Lacuna Coil, Dead Venus und Spoil Engine fanden zweimal in die Top Ten; alle anderen nicht! Wie war es bei Euch? Vermisst Ihr wen? Überfliegt unsere Listen, entdeckt unbekannte Bands für Euch neu und geigt uns Eure Meinung!
Euer CROSSFIRE-Team!
