What is the geographical and linguistic scope of the lists, particularly the generically titled year in music lists? Currently, the titles imply universality but the subject is mostly the year in US music. Should non-English language and non-US events be spun off into different articles (like the years in British music series) or added to the generic articles? This may be a hypothetical now but I'm interested in the opinion of other contributors. — AjaxSmack 03:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
At present this page is just a list of deaths. That isn't much for a "Timeline of Musical Events" I have in the past added important albums to this timeline only to have them deleted. If this is a page of musical events then it should include major albums that have transformed the present culture or are key masterworks of whatever genera. It appreciate the wide range of musical classifications and it should be informed by major musical achievements across the world. I plan to start adding key works to the list and pray they wont be wiped off again. Otherwise change the name from timeline of musical events to timeline of dead musicians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davros6999 ( talk • contribs) 03:26, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Modernist, what is wrong with you?? There's nothing "absurd" about putting the list in proper chronological order. That's how lists are on WP (except for some in alphabetical order). It's absurd not to. What's really absurd is to revert all my hard work for no good reason ( WP:ROWN, WP:REVEXP). Besides that, you reverted the much needed custom table of contents. Without that, the reader has to scroll way down to find what they're looking for. I also made other style improvements. But, you think you can revert it all because you think it should be the way you like it?? -- Musdan77 ( talk) 19:11, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I think it would help to have some criteria, even a rough, informal one, for choosing albums. Right now, an editor can easily add his or her favourite obscure indie band album to the list. Granted, if the album had an article, it is WP: notability -notable. But if it had poor sales an little critical attention, it's arguably getting WP:Undue weight to be listed as one of say, 15 albums for a year. I am not saying that sales is the only indicator. Indeed, a record could have no sales, but if a consensus of top critics hail it as a masterwork, then let's add it. OnBeyondZebrax • TALK 17:53, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
Going through the timeline, we read that Musician X was born in 1910. My concern with this is that she might not become influential in music history until 1940, when her album hits number one and she becomes the most important bandleader and composer. Wouldn't it make more sense for Musician X to appear in the 1940s section, with a comment such as "Musician X's album XYZ and 123 were the top-selling records of the 1940s"?

Compared to similar lists like List of years in film and List of years in literature, this feels lacking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.0.121.21 ( talk) 22:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
