This is cool: have a look at Googles fun new visualization called Music Timeline, which attempts to chart the rise and fall of different musical genres in terms of popularity :) The chart begins in 1950 and reflects data about what Google Music users have in their music collections, cross referenced with each albums genre and release date: as a whole, it paints a broad picture of the history of music that makes a lot of intuitive sense. But as it was pointed out in The Atlantic, the timeline is not without its data foibles, which make it a less-than-perfect visualization. It can only travel back in time by looking at what from the past is popular in the present. Have a look at the timeline here research.google/bigpicture/music/# , and read The Guardians review here: theguardian/music/musicblog/2014/jan/17/google-play-music-timeline-punk-soul
