Talk:1972 in music

Wull, I think it should be done for every year. If it becomes necessary, we could divide the page up into genres, although I don't really like doing that. I wouldn't be capable of doing anything for more than 75 years ag or so. I think if people contribute a little about the styles or innovations found on a particular album in a little write up on this page, eventually there would be a great sort of map detailing the evolution of the music. Wanna help? :)

I like this idea, but I have a concern--most readers won't click on a piped link to 1972 because they assume it's about the year (I saw it because I watch Ziggy Stardust and saw your change of the link). Maybe it should be made explicit, as in "David Bowie released Ziggy Stardust in 1972 (see 1972 in music)". Tokerboy 08:47 Dec 21, 2002 (UTC)

Hmm... yeah I see what you mean. As it stands now, the year links are pretty much useless; hence, the year in music idea. It would probably be a good idea to make the link to the new thing more explicit. I redirected a bunch of random music links to 1972, but they will probably go unnoticed...

Eventually I suppose, if and when the xx in music links become standard, they can replace the other unnamed links. But until then I guess they should be mentioned explicitly. - Tubby

OK, so there's a lot of "#1 hits" listed here now - what country were they number one in? I assume the US, we should probably say so. But then I suppose we can also include UK #1s? And Swedish #1s? Hmm, possibly a tad troublesome. Not suggesting anything here, just thinking aloud (more thinking aloud from me at Talk:1973 in music). --Camembert

The site I took most of them from wasn't entirely clear, but did specifically mention they were #1 hits--I think it included British and American, and several charts, not just Billboard. Tokerboy

Oh yeah, just in case you folks haven't already, everyone should check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums and give it a look. The two things should work together.
