This is a kind of "history of music" project, based on aggregated charts found on Acclaimed Music. It features Top 20 playlists for decades 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and yearly Top 20 playlists (both songs and albums) for each year from 1960 to 2010. It's a weekly project.
After have quickly travelled through the first sixty years of twentieth century, it's time to start with the year playlists. Nothing better than a 1960 full of incredible jazz masters: Coltrane, Miles, Montgomery, Mingus, Coleman, Fitzgerald... Non-jazz inclusions are very few, beginning with Muddy live at Newport and Elvis back from the army. Enjoy!
Stay in touch with the new playlists!
