    rilo kiley is a band, not a name…. so it shouldn’t be listed as last name, first name! same for lynyrd skynyrd and most of those listed! BANDS! not NAMES of people– your iTunes library is not a phonebook.

    you can use the sort by feature in itunes so that your artist name can appear as “joan jett and the blackhearts” and it can be filed under “jett”. also, you can use last.fm which tries to establish standards for tagging so that statistics on play counts are sound.

    i personally have relented and now am fine seeing “doughty, mike” under “m” for “mike doughty”
