It's not uncommon for people to comment on how massive my discography is. Sometimes this is paired with another comment about how it's so big that it's overwhelming and they don't know where to start. In 2017, someone wrote on their blog that you should pick your favorite album cover and go from there. I agree with this advice, but I also know that I've given great album covers to some fairly non-essential releases. With that in mind, here's the official Hello Whirled Beginner's Guide (as of August 7, 2026).

I WANT A PLAYLIST
I don't really do that sort of thing, but if the thought of listening to a full album intimidates you...well, you're in the wrong place, but here's a list of songs I'm proud of. 1 per album. These are not necessarily my favorite songs from each album here, but I wanted some variety in the list. It's sorted from "easiest" to "hardest".
