They all go under Zappa down my way, and are arranged in numerical order of Rykodisc catalog number. After that they're roughly chronological.

I don't put my collection into any sort of order, too much work.

I had this problem with Frank Black and the Catholics.
As a solution, I just threw all those CD's away. |

Same here for The Rolling Stones. File under T for The, R for Rolling, S for Stones, or F for Fucking Cool Shit.

All my music's ordered alphabetically. I used to have trouble with this kind of thing, I didn't know whether I should arrange albums chronologically or alphabetically, eventually I went for the latter. I didn't know if I should put my Syd Barrett stuff with Pink Floyd, but I decided he was good enough to be filed by himself.
If the name on the album is Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, then it should just go under Z. By the way, I have Ciccone Youth under C.

Ha, ha, no, no, it just seems a little, well, overly obsessive. I mean, does it make any difference?

To me it does, yes. And OF COURSE it's overly obsessive. I surely will not deny that. But yeah, little things about the arrangement of my music collection will really bug me sometimes. THat's why I was curious what other collectors did in such a situation.
Putting Mothers albums under M, is "right" in the sense that THAT's how the band actually wanted those albums to be considered (ie: as Mothers albums, NOT Zappa albums... which is especially obvious when they were Mothers albums released AFTER the band broke up). But at the same time, filing the Mothers albums under Z (considering them as FRANK ZAPPA AND THE MOTHERS) means that all Zappa will remain together so that when I'm in the mood, I can easily look thru one little section. And really, I just used Zappa as an example. We could be talking about Kool Keith's, MF Doom's or Robert Pollard's hundreds of alter-egos. We could be talking about Bjork/Sugarcubes, Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown/The Finger, 2Pac/Tupac Shakur/Makavelli/Thug Life, or any other band artist who's had one-offs, side-projects, name changes, etc. |

I tend to just go with what's on the jacket sleeve/LP spine. If it says "Mothers" instead of "Frank Zappa and the Mothers", for example, it would go in the M section.
I alphabetize by the first letter of the first word in a band's name disregarding articles (e.g., The Beatles go in the B section), but individuals usually by the last name (e.g., John Lennon in the L section). I'm guessing this is what most of us do.

Actually that's exactly how I tend to do it. (going by the spine/cover name).

Man, "Valley girl" is a shitty song, eh? They play that at work all the time. Didn't even realize it was Zappa until I looked it up online. |

A grocery store.
"Valley Girl" was apparently a really popular song, in fact it Zappa's most popular. |

# 32 on the top 40 singles. So, it's not too bizarre that they'd play that song. |
