"Estadão" Asks: "Qual O Melhor Disco Brasileiro De Todos Os Tempos?"

What is the best Brazilian record of all time?  Good question, without an easy answer. 

On this page, "Estadão" offers 30 choices and asks readers to cast their votes by September 4. 

You can click on each album cover, see a short description, and hear short sound samples.

Even if your favorite Brazilian album isn't here, it's likely that one of your favorite artists made the list.  It's also a great way to sample artists or records that you may not already know.

There's also an incredibly detailed and colorful timeline of Brazilian popular music since the 1940's, tracing each genre and sub-genre as it develops over time.  It's definitely worth a look even if you don't plan to vote.
