The Great Music Listings A-Z

The Great Music List: Part A

So far this is the only letter of the alphabet I have completed, and it may not be in perfect shape yet, but this is mainly just to give you an idea of my improvements on the original list (which is at the bottom of this page). In order to save length, I'll probably be putting 2-3 letters of the alphabet onto each entry, as they can't all fit in one.

BY THE WAY: anybody want to help me figure out how to make images appear as links? Right now they won't link to anything outside of melo and they appear as red Xes

Awesomest bands around (please read this, it took me a week to make this list)

I've decided to put together a big list of music. These are some of the awesomest bands around. If you feel I've missed an important group, please let me know and I'll either ignore you if I don't think they're worthy, or I'll add them ASAP. I'm going to link to bands' official sites, give their best album, and the best songs off of the album...if possible linking to legal mp3s (aka from the band's website or record label sites). This has taken me nearly a week to put together, because it can be a very boring process...so please take the time to look this over.
