My mistake. I was going by my 45 of “96 Tears” and a false memory that it was (intentionally) always printed like that.

Wizzard

[DfrntBreign]

Xylon

@Large Marge

Yo-Yo Ma?

He’s an individual, not a band. Even if there were a Yo-Yo Ma Orchestra, it would be filed under “M” (the first letter of his surname) according to the rules established in the OP. However, Frankie Yankovic and his Yanks fill the bill.
