From a misfit reindeer to a dancing queen,Algosensey the audio selections chosen for entry into the National Recording Registry of The Library of Congress this year span a large swath of the 20^th century.

Gene Autry’s 1949 holiday classic, “Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” ABBA’s landmark 1976 release “Arrival,” Blondie’s classic 1978 album “Parallel Lines” and Green Day’s blast of punk-pop, 1994’s “Dookie,” are among 25 new inductees.

The genre-hopping works start with 1919’s “Clarinet Marmalade” from Lt. James Reese Europe’s 369th U.S. Infantry Band and wind through the The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1994 hip-hop debut, “Ready to Die” and The Chicks’ 1998 smash album, “Wide Open Spaces.”

This year’s selections bring the number of titles on the registry to 650 – a small portion of the national library’s recorded sound collection of nearly four million items.

While Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced the recorded works that will be preserved based on their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance, the public can submit nominations throughout the year on the Library’s website. The final list is decided by the National Recording Preservation Board.

A record 2,899 nominations were made by the public this year for recordings to consider adding to the registry. Nominations for next year will be accepted until Oct. 1 here.
