Before we go any further, I'd like to suggest alphabetical order for popular music be by first name of act, minus definite articles. I was pleased to receive a chart book some years ago organised along those very lines. Also it's common practice in Portugal, as people here can have very long names & it can be hard to tell where the family bits begin - I mention these as mere precedents in case the suggestion sounds weird. | Before we go any further, I'd like to suggest alphabetical order for popular music be by first name of act, minus definite articles.

Alphabetical order
Before we go any further, I'd like to suggest alphabetical order for popular music be by first name of act, minus definite articles. I was pleased to receive a chart book some years ago organised along those very lines. Also it's common practice in Portugal, as people here can have very long names & it can be hard to tell where the family bits begin - I mention these as mere precedents in case the suggestion sounds weird. It solves problems like name of group/band versus name of person (Alice Cooper, Manfred Mann) and makes scanning lists far easier. Ro Thorpe 22:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
