Following last year’s Image Resolution, I felt inclined to start 2015 with similar ambition, As there are 52 weeks in the year and 26 letters in the alphabet, I launched (on KFD’s Facebook group) a thread a fortnight, inviting comments about artists, acts, albums, authors, actors, in fact artistry of any sort with the common link of the first letter. For those non-Fbers who might be interested, to get my first post off, I will repost the contributions to first four threads on this lovely new site, in the order in which they were posted. More additions welcome.
Here goes with ‘A’:
ABC – All Of My Heart (Where else to start)
AC/DC-It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll) –
the very essence of ROCK in both Bon and Brian-fronted guises. New Album in 2014 was very much a case of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” – a little of the sparkle gone, but an aural treat all the same.
Jackson 5 ABC
Herb Alpert and The Tijuna Brass – Spanish Flea
Abba – The Day Before You Came (They have to be here)
Associates Breakfast (Unique Version)
Cultural Importance? So much more than manufacturers of anvils, exiled AWers, I give you The ACME product Catalogue

Great idea, if a bit risky. With AWers love of lists, aren’t we in danger of breaking the internet before the year’s out? Looking forward to getting as far as ZZ Top.
Thanks, @millymollymandy – I must admit I hadn’t thought it through much beyond the initial realisation that 26 goes into 52 twice. I think it’s going to be a dip into the water of AW tastes, rather then anything more comprehensive or substantive, but if it turns up something interesting and new for anyone, I guess that’s a bonus.
I hope that you will forgive me to wake up thread from the dead, here is a song by Arno, former Tc-Matic frontman, a great singer. He sings in french, but I might translate the song if you wish:
I like the rough voice and unkempt look. It puts me in mind of Franz Treichler, singer with Young Gods, which is no bad thing in my book.
Thanks for posting here, @pizon-bros – no reason why any of the compendium threads shouldn’t be added to – they are quite easy to find and they won’t date.
