Thread: Letters with three or fewer in your music collection

    I don't have any Q or X, and only one U (U2).

    However, a previous post reminded me that I once had (maybe still have) a cassette of 'Sequences' by Bernard Xolotl and Cyrille Verdeaux.

    What about when Prince temporarily changed his name to some unpronounceable symbol? I think he released one, or at most two, albums under that moniker.

    Music journalists or anyone else trying to refer to the person behind the albums had a real headache. I don't think anyone had access to a font containing the symbol. Writers seemed divided over whether the use "AFKAP" or just "Symbol".

    Anyway, I can't imagine anyone's record collection having too many entries under that.

    OT: When this album was released on CD "2nd Vision" had become the album-title and "John Etheridge and Ric Sanders" the name of the performers on the sleeve.

    I don't have any starting with & either. We must be soul-mates!

    Same here, same bands and all! Used to have Xaal but got rid of it. I have quite a lot of Q (Quantum Jump, Quaser, Quatermass, Michael Quatro, Queen and Quiet Sun). All right, that’s not “quite a lot,” but it’s more than three!

    What numbers? 10cc gets filed under “T” where it belongs.

    Bit of fun, how about band names that don't yet exsits but that should use symbols where possible:

    I wish I had the infinity symbol on my keyboard, but I haven't, that'd be great for a band to use just that.

    : & x = Colon and Cross

    * --> = Star Arrow

    / = Slash

    / # = Slash Hash

    €€€ = The Euros

    § . = Parapoint

    E has only two:
    Enya - Watermark
    The Eagles - Desperado

    I has 3:
    Icehouse - Measure For Measure
    Indigo Girls - s/t
    Mark Isham - Vapor Drawings

    One U:
    U2 - The Unforgettable Fire

    One V:
    Suzanne Vega = s/t

    Only one artist under Y (Yes), but several albums.
    You should really get Solitude Standing - great album.

    I've only got 2 Xs: X-Legged Sally and XTC.

    6 numbers: 10,000 Maniacs, 10cc, 2nu, 3, 38 Special, 5uus.

    I was kind of surprised that my least populous letter (other than "X") was "I": Idle Race, INXS, Donnie Iris. If I hadn't bought an album by a band called "I Know You Well Miss Clara" at ProgDay a couple years ago, my "I" section would qualify for 3 or under.

    Z's I got plenty of: Frank Zappa, Dweezil Zappa, Z, Riccardo Zappa, Robin Zander, Zamla Mammas Mana, Zapotec, Zevious and Zombie Frogs.

    I've even got more Qs and Us than Is. Wouldn't have expected a vowel to be so under-populated.
