Thanks to these threads, I've been gradually revamping my lists for the winning years.

Just finished 1980, not that anyone asked.

Yeah - been making me think about doing what dihansse is doing (in more seriousness) and going deeper into year charts (likely removing anything from my year charts that is below a 75). I know there's great music I'm missing. But I'm in the 12th century right now musically speaking (maybe mentally?) so it might be a while. Laughing

On another note, dig the list.

How do you go about exploring centuries old music? Have you been methodically working backwards?

To be honest, wikipedia and my studies at university (took some music classes and studied German literature, which therefore studied Wolfram von Eschenbach, Walter von der Vogelweide, Hildegard von Bingen, etc.)

Here's a bit about my methodology, etc.: https://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/v...hp?t=19692

That's a massive project. I think I'd be content with just trying to experience all that music. If I had to rate everything, I'd never start the project.

hehe yeah, I'm doing it pretty low key for the ratings. Probably superficial ratings - meaning one time listen (often, although so far everything has more than 2 listens, and some 6). I'm also limiting my recordings for now at least. Just the most important for each period/genre/what Wikipedia deems most historically impacting. So really just an overview, nothing too crazy... (36 or so albums for music spanning 700 to 1400... so..., but then I probably will be way more intensive in the "common practice era".

Also I've tried 4 times... so wish me luck! haha.
