I should be making multiple lists.

ok, so earlier tonight I used the 'search' button, looking for posts that referred to Leonard Cohen. Only a few hits, mostly (but not exclusively) in posts by yours truly. Ah well.
But I came across this old post. 11 years ago (yes, ELEVEN) this thread was created, especially for us today.
I would like to update my selection.

A - Alice in Chains
B - David Bowie
C - Leonard Cohen
D - The Damned
E - Explosions in the Sky
F - Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, that is, not the pop band)
G - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
H - Jimi Hendrix
I - Isis
J - Joy Division
K - Kyuss
L - Led Zeppelin
M - Motörhead
N - Nirvana
O - Roy Orbison
P - Pearl Jam (esp. the first three albums)
Q - Queens of the Stone Age
R - The Ramones
S - Shellac
T - Tindersticks
U - The Undertones
V - Velvet Underground
W - Tom Waits
X - X
Y - Neil Young
Z - Frank Zappa

I really wanted to include Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat (not just because of the awesomely disgusting band name, but also because of the truly excellent music), but Kyuss.

EDIT: By X I do mean the band, with Exene Cervenka and John Doe.
