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.
