Dopo le schede dedicate al primo semestre, eccoci tra le brume invernali e voilà le mie personalissime preferenze tra gli album pubblicati nel 2023 e da me ascoltati nella seconda parte dell'anno, per affrontare al meglio i bagordi natalizi. Segnalo solo i dischi che per me hanno meritato almeno le 4 stelle (8/10): pur senza capolavori, il 2023 si sta chiudendo con molti ottimi lavori. Quindi "keep on rockin' in a free world!" (Nello il Giovane)
