I haven’t heard of either band - _The Smiths_ maybe or _The Ramones_ but not _Lennon_ or _McCartney_. Are they Jazz or comical versions of real music, _McCartney_ sounds like it would be. _Lennon_ is probably a \*Woody Guthrie \*cover band. Am I right? ---

[/QUOTE] No, no, no - you’re missing it: McCartney is the SAME as The Ramones - they got their name from this bloke in a British band (can’t quite remember which one - some dude in it was actually named Ringo) who used “Ramone” as his _ **nom du hotel** _ while on tour… ---

It varies. I don’t file my collection alphabetically, but rather in order of the last time I played it. After I play a CD, it goes to the right side and slowly works its way left. I like the system because I can say, “Hey, I haven’t played that in awhile. Let’s give it a listen.” ---

Imagining, for the purposes of answering this question, that a) I had any solo releases by either, and b) they were for some reason in iTunes as “Lennon, John” and “McCartney, Paul” (since sorting by artist goes by the first letter of the field, rather than the last name…), it’d be a little something like this: Leonard Cohen: Cohen Live, I’m Your Man, More Best of, The Future, New Skin for the Old Ceremony, Songs, Various Positions Lisa Gerrard: The Mirror Pool Lords of Acid: Our Little Secret, Voodoo-U Loreena McKennitt: The Book of Secrets Los Super Seven: Heard it on the X Lost City Angels: Self-Titled, Broken World Lucas: ((Lucascentric)) Ludwig van Beethoven: Ninth Symphony Luminscent Orchestrii: Three songs I downloaded from their website 🙂 Lux Occulta: Dionysos, Forever Alone Immortal Lykathea Aflame: Elvenefris Malevolent Creation: The Fine Art of Murder Marilyn Manson: Mechanical Animals (how did I ever like this album? Need to delete it) Mary Bergin: Feadoga Stain ---

With the same caveats noted above by **LawMonkey** (iTunes, etc.): Leona Naess Les Paul & Mary Ford Lifesavas Lil Flip Lily Afshar Link Wray LL Cool J Lou Rawls Lucero Luciana Souza Ludwig van Beethoven Luis Russell & His Orchestra Luscious Jackson Lustra M. Ward M.O.P. M.U.C.H. Posse Mac Mall Mack 10 Main Source Marley Marl Massa Massenet Mazzy Star MC Lite As I look at this list, it occurs to me that I have no idea who twelve of these twenty-five artists are. I’m pretty sure they’re on compilations I’ve picked up here and there. I ought to sort all songs by number of listens, ascending, and hit play. Then start deleting stuff I don’t like and have never listened to. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-between-lennon-and-mccartney-on-your-cd-lp-shelf/432931.md?page=1)
