in that case if the brand is 2Pac, then I totally agree with you, without doubt he will be under 2.

Thank goodness Janet Jackson is J regardless LOL

.

lol lol lol


Do you file Jackson 5 and Jacksons into Michael Jackson's solo albums chronologically or are Jacksons separate?

.

The is a very interesting question - one I pondered a few months ago.

.

The answer is in the historical context. The Jackson 5, The Jacksons, Michael, La Toya, Jermaine etc are all intertwined.

.

Therefore I looked at the Jackson family in a broader context.

.

So I file under 'J' for 'Jackson' and I run all family members in chronological order. In fact during many years, all incarnations had something released, so in this case I file buy the month the record was released.

.

It sounds complicated, but it isn't really. Historically this just means all Jackson family output is on a single timeline.

.

Don't know. I posted when it was in the Non-Prince music section. If the thread was originally posted here I wouldn't have seen it because I don't look at this part of the site.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

In all honesty I've never heard of any of those people but I would imagine artists would be filed by the name they record by. But people can file their music the way they want to. I suppose someone could file Madonna under Madge if they wanted to LOL.

.

In slight contradition, I've never segregated prince and the NPG from Prince, as it is Prince but just under a different name.

.

Personally I like ordering artists along a timeline, for exmple Sting was in a band called The Police, so Sting is under P for Police.

.

The Police and Sting then run in chronological order along a single timeline.

.

I also do this with Alison Moyet who was in a band called Yazoo.

.

lol

I didn't even get an orgnote that it moved.
Any explanation on why a thread about music is in general discussion?

If it's by alphabet order, is Funkadelic and Parliament together or separate under "F" amd "P"

Is Prince and all of his associates together? How is it.


Funkadelic and Parliament are separate under "F" and "P" respectively.

The same goes for the New Power Generation albums without Prince's name in the credits which get filed under "N".

The one exception is my Original 7ven CD is filed with The Time because that's how it was supposed to be before they were forced to choose that stupid alternate band name.

I just remembered during the great purge last year, I ripped and sold all my Parliament/Funkadelic/George Clinton CDs so they aren't on separate ends of the room anymore. Just on separate ends in my iTunes. smile

I keep them all separate.
Jackson Five (The Jacksons are lumped in)
Jackson, Jackie

Jackson, Jermaine
Jackson, Janet
Jackson, Latoya

Jackson, Michael


then luckily these unrelated Jackson artists follow and it still make sense:
Jackson, Millie
Jackson Sisters

It's a slippery slope and this has been discussed on the org ad nauseam, but if Goldnigga is filed with the Prince albums even though he isn't even the main vocalist then it should be the same for the Madhouse albums and even the first Time album where Prince sings background and plays almost all of the instruments. They either all get filed under Prince or none of them do.

If I have a duet maxi single, I put it with the act from which album it came from. Like Get It & Say Say Say goes with Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney, not Michael Jackson. Diamonds goes with Herb Alpert and Ebony & Ivory with Paul McCartney. If it's an entire album, generally I put it with the act that I have the most stuff by or name is on the record 1st like Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell goes with Marvin. Multiple act records go together (We Are The World, U Will Know, Sun City, King Holiday, Freedom, Do They Know It's Christmas, etc). I also have soundtracks, tribute albums, & various artist compilation albums (ig. MTV Party To Go, Billboard Top Hits Of 1977, AM Gold, Epic Dance Singles, Phat Trax, Time-Life, K-Tel, Stars On 45, etc.) together. A soundtrack by one performer goes with their other records, like Jungle Fever goes with Stevie Wonder.

I generally group all my bands together Barkays, Confunkshun, Cameo, EWF, Mint

Condition, Time, etc on one shelf and all my female artists on another shelf,

and male solo artists on another. Of course if I have multiple cd's by an artist I keep them

together. I don't buy cd's anymore so I'm not really hurting for space. It's to the point I'm

lucky if I purchase 5 cd's a year.

With the bluetooth speaker craze I listen to Spotify and have several playlists.

Spotify has Mass Production entire Lp catalog and other rare lp's which I would have a hard time trying to cop elsewhere so it even lessens the need for me to go on vinyl hunts.

Without any doubt, that does make a lot of sense!

What do you do with compilations that have J5, TJ and MJ all on one release? lol

I must say that I do like having the whole family on one timeline as it is so interesting to see who was do what during the same time period.

.

Also, it solves the problem I noted above! lol

.

It would be funny if one day a Jackson family compilation CD was released which included Jermaine, Janet and La Toya as it's common for J5, TJ and MJ to feature together on a release.

Alphabetical and then in chronological order. I pay no attention to genre; Mothers Finest comes after Ennio Morricone and before Muddy Waters. The exception is when an artist records under different names: all George Clinton/Bootsy albums are under the P for P-Funk. Same with The Family, Sheila E etc; they're next to the Prince albums.

I don't have that album. But since I have those kind of male vocal groups together, it doesn't really make a difference. Probably The Dramatics if their name is 1st. I don't really know much Dells music.

So clearly I decided to just have a sibling section.
