im really into the concept of books that presents lists (like the 1001 albums to hear before you die) but it bothers me a lot how us/uk centered that is. do we have any type of book working on that idea, but worldwide or at least more comprehensive with genres? i would like to check from blues to habibi. going into different places, countries and contexts.
i've recently discovered bandcamp (great website) but there seems to be nothing much than that on it.
ps: even with different proposals, it has to be listed.
RateYourMusic, use the charts function to include or exclude whatever you want granularly, e.g. here's a list with a few random genres excluding artist locations in Europe or the US.
You can set up whatever kind of chart you want by genre, subgenre, descriptors, artist location etc
i used to search up random words on spotify and click on artists that looked cool i swear thats the strat

It would be great to see such a list. Even a list focused on the anglosphere must be extremely difficult to narrow down but a worldwide one seems like it would be near impossible. Would definitely require an extensive A team of curators to even have a hope of covering the world’s music in even some fragmented way.
