Just as the title implies it is a visualization of music on a timeline. The data source is "based on how many Google Play Music users have an artist or album in their music library", which is not the best (most representative) dataset from a historical prospective, but makes for a cool visualization tool nonetheless.
You can search for an artist, or you can click through the genres to see what popular albums reside in a certain category on the timeline.

Clicking on an album leads you to Google Play Music (so the tool's purpose is pretty transparent), but its interesting to click around and see how things are related (based on this specific dataset), etc.
More information about the dataset can be found here.
