Singin' at the Apollo (not Creed)
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.
1963 is the year when rock albums started to roar. The problem is that they were made by The Beatles and Bob Dylan, two of the most important artists whose recorded catalogues are not available on Spotify, yet (actually I found a Freewheelin' version, but I don't think it's really available). Anyway, jazz remained the strongest genre, with four albums by John Coltrane and many from Blue Note Records/Rudy Van Gelder Editions. Two brazilian titles make these playlists even more spicy. But the #1 is the sex machine. Enjoy!
Stay in touch with the new playlists!
