Your Music: A-Z

[Vox Imperatoris]

This is just a little fun thing I thought of: open up iTunes (or whatever other library you use) and post the first and last thing sorted alphabetically under:
Artist?
Track?
Album?

For me:
Artists:
Tracks:
Albums:

ETA: Mine is without counting numbers or Cyrillic characters.

[Exy]

Hmm, my music app doesn't seem to have a "list all songs" option so I used my iPod:

Artist:
!!!, or if that doesn't count, ABBA
Zu & Spaceways Incorporated

Track:
* (by M83), or if that's no good, 11:59 (by Blondie), or A (by the Barenaked Ladies)
[Z Twig] (by Aphex Twin)

[Myrnalene]

Artists:
Aaliyah to The Zombies

Tracks:
Ain't no Sunshine When She's Gone (Bill Withers) to Your Woman (Whitetown)

Albums:
ABBA Gold to White Hot (Johnny Dangerous)

[Vox Imperatoris]

Okay, since the first one I did was not counting numbers and Cyrillic (iTunes sorts the Cyrillic alphabet in its order after the Latin alphabet), this one is:
Artists:
Tracks:
Albums:

[Marsilia]

Artist: A-ha to Zap Mama
Tracks: ASAOK (Less than Jake) to Zooropa (U2) or 1234 (Feist)
Albums: Absolute Garbage (Garbage) to Zooropa (U2) or 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane (tATu)

[Vox Imperatoris]

Artist: A-ha to Zap Mama
Tracks: ASAOK (Less than Jake) to Zooropa (U2) or 1234 (Feist)
Albums: Absolute Garbage (Garbage) to Zooropa (U2) or 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane (tATu)

A comrade! (Your loyalty to the Motherland is a bit uncertain, though. )

I'm also afraid that ABBA's going to be over-represented here.

[What Exit?]

Ignoring numbers

Artist: Alan Parsons Project to ZZ Top
Tracks: Achilles Last Stand (Zep) to You've Got To Hide Your Love.. (Beatles)
Albums: Abbey Road to Yes Songs

Pretty representitive of my music actually Beatles, Zep and Yes are 3 of my top 4 groups. I love ZZ Top and have been to two of their concerts. Alan Parsons Project is the only oddball.

[Myglaren]

I have just reinstalled my OS and have no music on this computer currently.
The only thing that comes close is a CD list:
Artists:

Abraham
~
Zhao Cong

Albums:

5
~
Zuma

[Taumpy]

Not counting numbers or symbols:

Artists: a-ha to The Zombies
Songs: A5 B24 C135 D45 E2 (Password Theme) (8-bit Instrumental) to Zoological Garden (The Dubliners)
Albums: A-1-A (Jimmy Buffett) to Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! (Hellogoodbye)

[dread pirate jimbo]

Artists: a-ha to ZZ Top (or 54-40, if we're counting numbers)
Songs: AD 1928 (Styx) to Zombie Dance (Alice Cooper) (or "$" by Prince, if we're counting numbers and symbols)
Albums: Abandoned Luncheonette (Hall and Oates) to Zoso (Led Zeppelin) (or "3121" by Prince, if we're counting numbers)

That's a pretty good mix.

[Zuul]

I didn't count numbers in mine, so I got:

Artist: Abney Park to the Zombies
Track: Absolute Beginners (David Bowie) to Ziggy Stardust (same)
Album: Absolution (Muse) to Zer0space (Kidney Thieves)

[What Exit?]

Artists: a-ha to ZZ Top (or 54-40, if we're counting numbers)
Songs: AD 1928 (Styx) to Zombie Dance (Alice Cooper) (or "$" by Prince, if we're counting numbers and symbols)
Albums: Abandoned Luncheonette (Hall and Oates) to Zoso (Led Zeppelin) (or "3121" by Prince, if we're counting numbers)

That's a pretty good mix.

I'm glad someone else had ZZ Top.

Now that I am home, my larger collections
Artists: A3 to ZZ Top
Songs: Absolutely Curtains (Pink Floyd) to Zig Zag Dance (Apparently something from Sesame Street.)
Albums: Abandon (Deep Purple) to YesYears

[OtakuLoki]

I'm skipping anything in kanji.

Artist: Acelux to Zero Mostel
Track: A' Soalin' by Peter, Paul and Mary; to Zombie Prostitute by Voltaire
Album: Kate Bush' Aerial to The Wurst of P.D.Q Bach

[CrashMyBicycle]

Artists: Air to YUP
Tracks: "Absent Friends" by The Divine Comedy to "Zebra" by The Magnetic Fields
Albums: ABBA-esque by Erasure to You Will Go to the Moon by Moxy Fruvous

All in all, pretty good. I love Air, and YUP is a cool band I only have a few songs from -- they're a Finnish band.

[pepperlandgirl]

(Not counting numbers, also my music collection was extremely depleted by the recent harddrive wipe. I lost about 1000 songs)

Artist: Aimee Man to Yomada
Track: About to Shine by Autumn Defense; Ziggie Stardust by David Bowie
Album: A.M by Wilco; Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips.

[Walpurgis]

Artist: Arvo Pärt to Yoshikazu Mera
Track: ...And Justice For All by Metallica; Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana by Kishore Kumar
Album: ...And Justice For All by Metallica; Zahmia Lemanni: Songs of Byzantine Flowers by SPK

That was fun! I re-discovered some stuff I haven't listened to in a while.

[parzival]

Artist: AFI - 10cc/Zero 7 (depending on which method you choose, ignoring my one Kanji artist)

Track: 2112/Ziggy Stardust
(ignoring a track mislabeled "Zwölf Variations in G-Dur WoO 45", which I fixed)

Album: Abbey Road - 2001(Dr. Dre)/Zimulated Experience(Phoenix Orion)

Technically I have some A-Team samples first which I added Artist & Album tags to keep them together, but I'm not counting those. I also label live concerts by the date & venue for 'album', which would put Glen Philips' "2005-05-08 Neumo's" as last using numbers.

I never knew that clicking on the Album column in iTunes switches it to 'Album by Artist/Year'. Possibly a recent feature (annoying, too, since it hides behavior and requires hitting the sorting triangle exactly).

[Cluricaun]

Artists: Al Kooper/Michael Bloomfield to White Stripes
Track: Abraham Lincoln by Clutch to You’re Crazy by Guns and Roses
Album: Album of the Year by Faith No More to World Painted Blood by Slayer
