Ameirca’s Greatest 20th Century Music

Some of the greatest contributions to our society have been the music that has been written and preformed by citizens of our country. Today’s FamSite looks at a site that celebrates that music, and provides the stories behind them.

The site is sponsored by National Public Radio (NPR), and is featured on segments of their programming such as “All Things Considered”. It features the 100 greatest musical performances of the 20th Century as selected by over 14,000 listeners, as well as a panel of musical experts. The works span our culture and times for the past century, and feature works from such a wide range of artists as Glen Miller, Bill Monroe, Bruce Springsteen, and The Doors. Songs such as “Singin’ In The Rain”, “One O’clock Jump”, “Ain’t That A Shame”, and “Good Vibrations” are featured, both where you can read about it, and listen to it.

This is a wonderful site that shows how our culture and society have changed. It is a wonderful place to spend some quality web surfing time. Enjoy your visit here today.
