Starting from the top

Thought I'd try something a little different here.
Anyone else who takes the time and effort to keep a blog that anything related to music knows how hard it can get to keep up with things. The majority of us aren't like Stereogum, Rock Sellout or The Music Slut. This is just something we do on the side because of our love/obsession/addiction to good music.
There aren't going to be any album or concert reviews or such here because, well, I suck at critiquing anything and very rarely will I go to a concert (maybe once a year).
Since this was all started to simply share really great songs and artists that have been catching my attention, I figured why not start from the top and gradually work my way down. Starting with A. A good majority of it will fall into some kind of "indie" category, along with some britpop, alternative, and once in a while a little something different - like the last song listed here which was featured in the Richard Gere/Diane Lane film Unfaithful.
