[Mr_Complex]

I'm suprised Mido didn't put DFA 1979 in the D section considering how much he goes on about them.

- Har Mar Superstar
Oooh, I saw him open for Incubus a few years ago and he was almost arrested for public nudity. Despite the fact that he didn't get naked.

[Documad]

I can't believe how many people put the artist in the list according to his/her first name. You don't actually buy CDs, do you? Because you're not going to find Paul McCartney in the "Ps". :p

That's my pet peeve too!

Anyways, this is a good thread idea. I'll participate sometime tomorrow...

I have Captain Beefheart under C, because it's more like a band to me. I've had more problems where to have Iggy Pop and Lloyd Cole. I had Iggy on P for Pop, but then there was Iggy and the Stooges on I. Also Lloyd Cole and the Commotions were on L and his solo stuff on C. Then I just thought fuck it and have them all under the first initial to keep them together.

I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about putting Frank Sinatra under F.

I keep my records separated by genre and then alphabetical within genre. Captain Beefheart is under C and I keep the Stooges under I so they'll be with the other Iggy stuff. Frankly, I keep my few solo Beatles albums under B with the Beatles stuff and I keep Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music in R. But if I was making a list, I'd put Bryan Ferry under F instead of B. ;)

I blame the ipod for this, btw. Because you find Bryan Ferry under B there.
