    Im just wondering where you guys keep your Roger Waters/Gilmour etc. Is ut next to Pink Floyd in your collection? Or is it all alphabetical?
    How about your Macca, Lennon etc...is it next to the Beatles?

    Alpha always. I fear if I get too cute with a grouping system of some kind, I will forget the rules and spend hours trying to find stuff. Alpha always works. :)

    I do that. I even put Julian Lennon together with the solo Beatles. Although I separate the Greatest Hits/Best Of albums from the regular albums and have separate CD racks for them.

    This is the way I feel about it. I only seperate a couple Genres, which would be the few Hip Hop I have and the bunch of Christmas albums I have. Everything else is alphabetical.
    Those are at the end of the collection.

    Alpha (and by original release date within that). Classical is off separately, by composer, and Christmas stuff is wherever my wife keeps it (it seems to magically appear every year and clog up the CD player).

    Alpha only. Too many ways to get confused otherwise.

    Always alpha. I keep my Xmas records in a closet except between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Otherwise I don't separate out genres. The only tricky ones are split or collaboration LPs. They usually go by the artist listed first tho.

    Right next to the parent group. So Neil Young is next to CSN&Y, Gilmour with the Pink Floyd, and Lennon with the Beatles. Beatles seems to be the biggest catch all. That's also where I keep Ravi Shankar, Chet Atkins (Pickin' on the Beatles), Hollyridge Strings, and Julian. A big, YMMV on this one.

    Alpha and chronological, with only 2 exceptions being the one Lou Reed lp I have is with the V.U., and a Howard Devoto lp is with Magazine.

    I had a friend in jr. high that swore that the cure to skips on a record was to put the record in his sock drawer for 2 weeks.

    All alphabetical. I know what you mean, though...do I put the Buckingham-Nicks with the Fleetwood Mac? In my case, no. Do I put the Paul Simon with the Simon and Garfunkel? In my case, yes...that's an exception I'll make as they're close enough alphabetically.

    I don't bother with by release date, that's a little too anal for me. As long as all the "Queen" albums are together, etc., fine.

    One more for alphabetical and by release date! :thumbsup: If I have multiple releases of the same album, I then put those in chronological order, too, with the newest being the furthest to the right.

    Option one. I don't do alphabetical. Peter Murphy with Bauhaus, Cetera with Chicago and so on.

    In a soundproof room under the basement. I've had the missing Wilson brothers down there for decades. Brian's got wise to me, though.
    :evil:

    Other than that, alphabetical then by release date.

    Solo Beatles (and Yoko )after Beatles.

    Paul Simon with S&G

    All Fairport-related albums are together (Richard Thompson, Sandy, etc...)

    Garcia projects are filed with the Dead

    On the other hand, I do NOT file Diana Ross solo with the Supremes. Same with Smokey/Miracles, Robert Plant/Zep, etc

    I group together all Beatles related stuff, all Pfunk related, Grateful Dead related, Crosby Stills Nash ( tho I don't own any Stills)

    And Bond...

    James Bond.


    Edit: other than that it's mostly alpha, chronologically (last name), capped off by compilations. With separate Jazz/Classical/ and Hip Hop sections in the same formate.

    I stopped sorting alpha after almost 30 years. It got kinda boring. I have grouped media into subsets. Some include:

    Stereophile R2D4
    High DR modern CDs (small group, eh)
    Live albums
    Albums where I saw the artist in concert
    CDs with bonus DVD
    Audiophile releases
    etc...

    I find it more inspiring to decide what to listen. BUT, I only have like 450 CDs and 75 "vinyls" :)

    Solo Beatles after Beatles, including the John and Yoko albums followed by the Yoko solo albums (I have 2 of those), Then Julian Lennon, then back to alphabetical with the Bee Gees (alphabetical by genre; Beatles and Bee Gees are in the British invasion section). The Move, Roy Wood, and ELO are spread out all over the alphabet but somehow it wouldn't make sense not to have them all together. This system only breaks down when it gets really incestuous (Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Derek and the Dominoes, Bobby Whitlock, Jeff Beck Group, Rod Stewart, Faces, Blind Faith, Family,Traffic, Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Dave Mason and Cass Elliot, Mamas and Papas, etc.).
