Worldview &
Cultural Primer.

My original 100 albums are preserved, including 45 completed marks. The 900 additions come from 1001 Albums, cross-checked against Rolling Stone’s 2020 list of 500 (published by its Australian edition in 2021). 307 entries appear in both sources.

Shared selections were added first, then the remaining places favored artists with fewer albums already selected. Collection order is a listening sequence, not a ranking. These sources lean toward Western popular music; classical and many global traditions remain underrepresented.

CD spines and fallback record sleeves are illustrative. Available covers come from the Cover Art Archive via MusicBrainz; editions may differ. Listening progress can be updated when I’m signed in. New research additions are unmarked. The workbook’s duration values are retained but omitted here until their units are confirmed.
