Show HN: 1000songs.co.uk – 100 years of music, 10 tracks a year

https://1000songs.co.uk/
1•farnhamancestry•1h ago
Hi HN,

I have made a site called Https://www.1000songs.co.uk

It is a collection of songs I like 1930 - 2030, 10 songs a year (I am 927 in!)

These limits meant I could add some really fun features.

The radio time machine lets you scroll through the years 1930 - 2030. It is built on lists and then looks up the preview from iTunes.

I used the limitation of a 30 second preview as a feature to try and make it feel like turning an old radio.

It's also got some game elements where you can find the songs from the year you were born or name the tune.

Because my taste is pretty niche (and heavily influenced by British alternative radio) I added some features where you can paste your own songs in the format year, artist, song and it will bring the songs into the site through lookups.

You can then scroll to the bottom and save the site offline with your songs in it.

It's also got some tools in there which means you can check years of songs against other sites

I am also a bit stuck for 30s and 40s gritty jazz and blues so any suggestions appreciated!

Love to hear your thoughts!

I used it to find songs from my birth year and my friends'. Would be nice to filter by song types!

Thanks so much for trying it! Will add that feature to birth year search. There is a genre page in the menu. But will add it to birth year.

Forgot to say if you do paste your year, song, artist in you can then play the games with your songs.
