Para além do mainstream musical, geralmente associado à cultura de massas e à industria musical dominante, encontramos muitas outras formas minoritárias de expressão musical desde as chamadas etnomusicologias até à música improvisada. Por isso mesmo considerámos útil a divulgação das preferências musicais do ano de 2005 segundo a revista The Wire ( www.thewire.co.uk ), conhecida por ser um importante canal de divulgação das músicas de vanguarda e de improvisação.
