Cool to see ‘A’ on your list. I lost my HiFi Serious and A vs Monkey Kong cds in a house move years ago. I really should look into their stuff again.

I went back and forth on whether or not to file side bands separately on the shelves but decided to keep them together, mainly because being a Steve Wynn fan would mean having the following all over the place:
3 by 4 The Baseball Project Chris Cacavas Danny and Dusty The Dream Syndicate Gutterball Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3 Steve Wynn (solo)
Also, at one time I had all my records arranged by artist name but now they're broken up in this order:
Paisley Underground
Favorite bands/artists: Dinosaur Jr/ Lou Barlow, et al, Juliana Hatfield and related, The Replacements/ Paul Westerberg and related, all Neil Young related, Jimi Hendrix, all Sonic Youth and related, Bongos/ Richard Barone, Nils logren
Then:
Jazz
Blues
Punk Rock
Post Punk/ New wave
Other favorite rock by alpha
All other misc. rock alph
Country
Folk
Raggae
R&B, soul, hip hop/rap
International/ World
Classical
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
ABBA AC/DC Alabama Shakes Alice Cooper Alien Sex Fiend
Wlico Wolfmother The Wrens Yael Naim Young@Heart Chorus
Based on a digital library sort. For physical media I tend to alphabetize based on last name, and as such there’d be Zappa at the end.
Another Wolfmother fan. Where have I been?, haha!
The other thing I guess you could say that dates me is that I don't have a digital library. Well, actually, I think there is one on my computer somewhere with some sample tunes and the very few I've downloaded some time ago. I don't even currently remember how to that.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
This isn't how I catalogue my actual collection of course. I do it by artist's last name, while Discogs obviously does it by first for some crazy reason!

Anything that works is fine. Nice pair of fives there!

Weird that Abba isn't in there - I swear I have Abba Gold in my library.
Wow, a lot of number titles!
This reminds me of a discussion (that went on way too long, lol) when I worked with my wife and her business partner at their used bookstore. I did a lot of the organizing of the shelving back then- by subject, then alpha by author, then alpha by title- and the question came up of where to place book titles that start with a number (Orwell's 1984, Stephen King 11/22/63, for example). I argued that the Chicago Manual of Style suggests putting number titles at the beginning. The owners said, "No, they should be at the end." So it became a battle between what the Manual and I said was right and what the owners said was right. You can guess where that went.
In my record collection, I go with the Chicago Manual of Style method, and you-know-who steers clear. (Actually, she doesn't give two sh*ts what I do with my LPs anyway )
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
Velvet Underground Vivaldi War on Drugs Whitesnake (lol. I've had that since I was like 15.) Neil Young
Years ago, I saw Whitesnake open for Jethro Tull. I was a huge Tull fan (still like them a lot) and was so anxious to see that then favorite band, I probably didn't pay enough attention to the openers.

Their keyboard player is a kick to watch.
I'm pretty sure I've heard that one before and thought it was Jack White. Man, I've got homework to do!
