[kj] [KJ] Killing Joke "Rawk"

[Alexander Smith]

Back in the days of vinyl, I used to organize by genre or by what I'd  
perceive as a quasi-genre ("flavor of the month brit hype bands" ala  
Jesus & Mary Chain, the Primitives, the Sugarcubes, etc.) This just  
got too unwieldy after a while, and upon the advent of discs, I just  
went with alphabetizing, which makes loads more sense (although it  
means certain artists sit incongruously next to each other on the  
shelves..... Paul Simon sits next to Siouxsie.... the Plasmatics sit  
next to Robert Plant....Pussy Galore sit next to Queen, etc.)
