Evolution of Music from 1400 BC till the present day

[Rev. Rye]

Yeah, I've taken it upon myself to try and rectify the gaps I've noticed. Let's see you try to fill in the gaps you've noticed. I admit that my supplements are Eurocentric, but I have to admit, as encyclopedic as my knowledge of music may seem, I don't have a grasp on the timeline of the evolution of, say, African guitar music (apparently, Ali Farka Toure's music has been playing throughout Mali in some form or another for millennia), or Indonesian Gamelan, let alone anything of Asian music. In this regard, my knowledge consists roughly of "Ambush From All Sides" from a period so long ago it may as well be prehistoric, "Rose, Rose, I Love You" and "Misirlou" from the 1930s (and maybe the Korean/Chinese/Japanese music played on M*A*S*H occasionally a bit later), Ravi Shankar's heyday in the late Sixties, and "Gangnam Style." I'd really be interested to put it all in a broader historical context.
