Cool infographic of Music history- Tom Blackham

It's amazing what hidden gems you find on the internet when you actively search for it. As I've mentioned multiple times before, I'm super into music. And this website is very streamlined and interactive. I shows you a timeline of Music and its periods of popularity. You can look at each genre in a broad context of what else was popular during that time, or you can highlight a single genre and it will map out that genre's history of popularity. It also gives you suggestions of certain albums you can listen to that illustrate that genre and points to the time period that it came from.

It's a really fun site so if you guys want to check it out, I think you'll enjoy it:
