Alphabetical by first or last name ?

[icecream]

My pops is helping me build a nice shelf for all my records I'm not sure why this is such a hard decision.

[jimmythescumbag]

Last name.

[weck]

Last name.

I do the same. then by year.

[mclz]

I do first.

[garrygumguru]

Usually by last name. Sometimes by first name though. For example: Laura Stevenson and the Cans I file under "L". But then I also put Kevin Seconds and his Ghetto Moments under "S", so it's by my other Kevin Seconds record.

Here is an example of how I would list:

Armstrong, Louie

Beatles, The

Marley, Bob and the Wailers

Screeching Weasel

Vindictives, The

From there I would go chronologically by album.

Autobiographical

[monsterrod]

I do last name unless the first name is a nickname like Howlin' Wolf, that would go under H for me. Then again, I have T-Bone Walker under W and Lightnin' Hopkins under H so maybe I have to re-think my whole system. My world is crumbling before my eyes. The more I think about this, the more I realize this is a problem relegated to my blues collection.

[moonbeams]

First name

[davehoffa]

First name?! Are you people insane? Good thing the phone book was never like that . . .

[Guest scottyf]

I do first name because it's just easier for me to remember and I don't have a lot of records by people with the same first name

[Dillhole]
