Cataloging Question

That’s where I’m having the problem.

Elvis Costello and...
Neil Young and...
etc...and

These I put under Costello or Young, but;

Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow or
Todd Rundgren’s Utopia

I put under R and U because they are the names of the band.

This isn’t Dave Rawlings’ Machine, (that would go under M for Machine), it’s Dave Rawlings Machine.

I wonder how the National Archives would catalog this? How about a record store?

just put it all together , you are the one that listens to the music and you are the one that has to know where its at.       

just seems you are making a mountain out of a molehill out of this.

I was just interested in how everyone else would catalog this album.  You sure don't have to participate..

I didnt know that i needed your permission to participate in a thread you started , which you asked for members opinions / input.

i just find it hard to believe that you havent come across this issue before?            

I see what you're getting at.  If I were to get technical about it, I would put it under "D" for Dave Rawlings Machine like I would put Pink Floyd under "P", but for ease in finding it, I'd probably put with the other Dave Rawlings records (under "R" I assume?). 

I've seen record stores arrange things differently from one to the next.  They often group artists that were in a band together.  The one I was at yesterday had David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Pink Floyd altogether for example.  The one I go to most often does the same thing, for example all of the John, Paul, George, Ringo, Wings, John & Yoko, etc. records are all right next to the Beatles, under a separator that says "Solo Records".
