La canzone più triste degli ultimi 20 anni – Ecco la top ten del Rolling Stone

La rivista americana Rolling Stone ha pensato bene di pubblicare un sondaggio per decretare la canzone più triste degli ultimi vent`anni. Il singolare scettro è andato ai defunti Verve di Richard Ashcroft, con la ballad strappalacrime “The Drugs Don`t Work”, il cui ritornello recitava i versi spezzacuore “La droga non funziona, ma so che mi farà rivedere il tuo viso, anche se rende tutto peggio”.

La band inglese ha battuto colleghi del calibro di Robbie Williams, piazzatosi al secondo posto con “Angels”, Sinead O`Connor, Christina Aguilera e Radiohead.

Ecco la classifica:

1. The Verve – The Drugs Don`t Work
2. Robbie Williams – Angels
3. Elton John – Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
4. Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You
5. Sinead O`Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U
6. Will Young – Leave Right Now
7. Elvis Presley – Are You Lonesome Tonight
8. Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
9. James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover
10. Radiohead – Fake Plastic Trees
