Spectrum Culture (USA) - Alphabetical Lists (2022-2024)
So...what do you guys make of these? There's a recurring feature on Spectrum Culture now where they go through the alphabet and list their favorite songs by artists whose names (last name if it's a person, band name if it's a band) start with that letter (so, for instance, A House are listed under "A," but not A Tribe Called Quest - grammar stuff, idk). Normally, slightly more esoteric criteria like that would strike me as not worth considering...BUT it's fair to assume that you can sort through artist names on a spreadsheet by name, right? Is it any different from adding/deducting points for being on a year or decade list when that's easily-accessible data? I dunno. Here are the ones that have been done so far.

Re: Spectrum Culture (USA) - Alphabetical Lists (2022)

They really chose that song to represent the Beatles, huh.

Now updated through the letter K. No Killers or B.B. King, surprisingly enough.

Nearing the end - now updated through the letter X, which has a surprisingly substantial amount of artists (although no X Japan or Xzibit...or Xandra, of "Colorado" fame, but technically she went by Sandra for most of her career).

I'm now starting to look for the most notable snubs by letter, and the Beach Boys for B and Johnny Cash for C immediately leap out (the latter in particular since Johnny Ca$h, clearly inspired by him at least in name, show up for J).
