I've got several friends who sort by genre, then artist. But I kinda like seeing stuff like (pause while I glance over at the LP rack...) jazzy pianist Joanne Brackeen next to punky troubador Billy Bragg cheek-to-jowl with ol' man Brahms followed by noisemeister Glenn Branca leading into Brit bombshell Benjamin Britten followed by folky folks The Brothers Four opening for the hardest working man in my record collection, James Brown! I -do-, however, keep my "various artist" records separate, at the end of the regular albums, sorted alphabetically by album title.
