This Playlist Brought To You By The Letter A

If you've ever read this blog before, you know how much I love to categorize music. What is one of the very first ways that we as humans learn to categorize? Alphabetically, of course. So this playlist is exactly that: songs, artists, and albums that start with the letter A. Short, sweet, and to the point. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Obviously this is not every single artist, song, or album that has ever started with the letter A - just a sampling to give additional listening ideas.
