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 should be a weekly project (though I'm not very good in being consistent with weekly projects). To keep track of it, I made the Acclaimed History of Music page.
Classic jazz rules this 1962 chart. The playlist include some absolute masters, like John Coltrane (three albums), the "brazilian" Stan Getz, the "mexican" Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Jim Hall, Wes Montgomery, Ornette Coleman and many others. #1, though, is for The Genius. Enjoy!
Stay in touch with the new playlists!
