Band name first, song name last.

[Chthonic]

This is not a complicated concept, people.

[Akaymay]

Yeah, that's how it's supposed to be done, I have seen way too much:

Thunderstruck - AC/DC

I was like, what, there's a song called AC/DC? Wait...

[Desensitized]

That's how I do it.

The Beatles - Rain

I don't know why some people do it the other way.

[Chthonic]

See, I don't mind it so much if it's just one or two songs, but when you have a list that goes:

John The Fisherman - Primus
Painkiller - Judas Priest
2 Minutes To Midnight - Iron Maiden
The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg - Iron Maiden
Killers - Iron Maiden
Shake Your Blood - Probot
The Emerald Law - Probot
Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite! - The Beatles
Fixing A Hole - The Beatles
A Day In The Life - The Beatles
Step Right Up - Tom Waits
Master Of Puppets - Metallica
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Hit The Lights - Metallica
The Frayed Ends of Sanity - Metallica
Etc..

You see what I'm saying?

The other way around is simply much cleaner and clearer, especially when you list more than one song with the same artist.

[Akaymay]

People do it because they naturally think:

"Enter Sandman by Metallica, so obviously, Enter Sandman - Metallica"

Thinking that the "-" is like, a way of saying "by"

[Zidane]

I never knew I was doing the world such an injustice.

[FrshChees]

i really don't see the big deal. It ain't hurting anybody...and now im going to get some stupid remark from someone stupid

[Obnysalt]

Why do you even care dip****?

[Chthonic]

Why do you even care dip****?

Because it's ****ing annoying. Band name first, song name last is the proper way to list tracks. You don't like it, find someone who gives a rat's ass.

[Zidane]

I think you replying is enough to warrant that there are people who give a rat's ass.

[Chthonic]

I think you replying is enough to warrant that there are people who give a rat's ass.

Don't give me that clichéd old argument. Especially when it's out of context. What I meant is that I don't care if people wish to continue with their ignorant ways, once they've been made aware of them. It only serves to show them for what they are: Ignorant and foolish.

liar-queen

[Obnysalt]

I challenge that the burden of making people give a rat's ass is on you. You're the one who wants to do things "properly".

[blue_dragonzero]

Actually, as long as the person writes using the same method, there should be no problem. It would be a problem if they went
liar - queen
primus - wynona's big brown beaver
run to the hills - iron maiden

Otherwise, if you can't understand the method of writing, it's your own fault.

Agreed. Reading comprehension for the win.
