Check this out- Family tree/ subway map of music

This is very impressive if you are interested in the evolution and connections of musical influences made in the past 100 years of music history.

Those whacky Brits! There are some awful controversial picks and omissions, as well as some curious suggestions about who extends from whom. I'm not sure how I feel about all the Classic Country petering out in the West End - ghettoized as it were. But a neat concept all the same.

Definitely an interesting project. I don't recognize some of the names, but I get a basic idea of where he was trying to go. He did a great job considering the limits of his original map.

Oh apparently King Crimson was influenced by Kraftwerk, since Radiohead is next down the line and that's the only reference to their electronica leanings. Little sequencing problem there. Radiohead should have been in the middle hooked into a few different lines, like he did for Wilco.

Cool concept. I saved the PDF so I could print it out later.
