The Evolution of Popular Music By Year (1890-2009)

Now I will present the list of all the artists and respective songs used. Do note that there is a striking difference between the authors of a song/music and the performers i've chosen to illustrate in the video, due to obvious technological reasons given that some are very old pieces. Here I will place the original authors of each popular song. A quick youtube search should reveal some examples of contemporary forms of the music, which are the ones I used (to the least extent possible, for authenticity reasons).
