Directory of 20th Century Pop Resources

Home > Arts > Music > History > 20th Century Pop

This category is for sites that cover aspects of modern "popular" music from some broad, historical viewpoint. Appropriate sites might cover the evolution of music from a particular region or tribe (or the influence of a particular set of performers) over an extended period of time; or might discuss the relationships between various musical "styles," or might cover popular music from periods before the second half of the 20th century (where the original generation of the audience is not still around.)
