    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.

    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!

    Alien Ant Farm sounds like something worth checking out if for no other reason, the name!  Same with 30 Seconds TO Mars!

    I "borrowed" this thread idea from another site, but it's fun, so let's see what you've got. 

    (I used my Discogs catalog using "Artist A-Z", then "Artist Z-A" to make it easier).

    My first five:

    10,000 Maniacs
    A Tribe Called Quest
    Acid Mothers Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
    Adolescents
    Adrian Belew

    ...and last five:

    Witch
    World Saxophone Quartet
    Wu-Tang Clan
    Wynton Marsalis
    Zen Guerilla


    Nice to see Witch on this list. They were great! Have to pay special attention to the drummer if you're a Dino Jr. fan.

    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.  :lol: 
    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 :lol: )

    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.
