so, I'm organizing my CD's this week in preparation of burning them onto my computer, throwing out the jewel cases, and filing them away in sleeves.

while alphabetizing them, I noticed that I have a shitton of B's (Beatles, Bruce Springsteen*), M's (Madonna, Marilyn Manson, Michael Jackson*), and S's (Simon and Garfunkel, Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths) and a pretty even number of everything else...

but only one "I" cd -- the "I Am Sam" soundtrack :hmm: are there any decent bands out there beginning with the letter I?

I only have 1 Z too, but that's a little to be expected. I seems like it would be a much more common letter.




*yes, I know it's technically incorrect to alphabetize by the first name, but mentally, it's easier for me to organize my CD's physically the same way that they're ordered digitally -- and on my computer, it's Music\Bruce Springsteen\(Album Name)\ not Music\Springsteen, Bruce\(Album Name)\

Pandora has decided that I should listen to Incubus right now, so I'll throw that out there...

Incantation and Immolation, fathers of the New York death metal sound.

EDIT: Somehow I forgot Iron Maiden. Kill me now.

You might get a kick out of Iwrestledabearonce. A female singer, how harmless could it be?

Immortal (one of the very best black metal bands!)
Isacaarum (one of the best deathgrind bands!)
In the Woods (awesome doom type band)
Isengard (Weird ass side project of Fenriz black metal type band)
In Battle (decent Swedish metal band)
Ildjarn (very raw Black metal band)
Ihsahn has a solo project, it's pretty awesome from what little I've heard.
Impetigo (these guys were pretty good. Nice and heavy)
Iniquity (Danish band, great old school classic death metal!)

INXS - Kick
India Arie - Acoustic Soul and Voyage to India

But what would really help would be what your testes are. Which way do you lean?

So, you want people to assist you in finding bands starting with the letter "I" simply because you feel that having only one CD with a "I" band is odd? How about just collecting the music you enjoy rather than having some bizarre fixation with having a certain amount of artists alphabetically?

no, it was more answering the question -- do I only have one CD beginning with the letter "I" because there aren't that many I-bands or is it just happenstance?

I have 0 X-cd's, 2 Y-cd's (Yo Yo Ma, Y-100 Acoustic Sessions), and 1 Z-cd (Zwan) but I assume that to be just because there aren't that many X/Y/Z bands.
