OK lets see how this turns out.

Work sequentially through the alphabet, with my good self starting us off on A. Surname or forename doesn't matter. One artist per letter please, I'll even allow Rush as 'R' though obviously I hope someone picks something better. To get the best spread of tastes I'd suggest we try and get 26 different posters contributing but if not I'll give the committed a second choice.

I think an appropriate way to start would to be a salute the forefathers of popular music.

A - Allen Page 'She's The One That's Got It'..................................B — Brinsley Schwarz - 'Ju Ju Man'


C - Califone 'Michigan Girls'.................................................... D - Deerhoof 'Snoopy Wave'


E - Exploding Hearts 'Shattered'...............................................F - Francis, Black - Tight Black Rubber

Figure I'll get my PopTodd moment out of the way early on.
This is one of my favorite songs, ever.

B — Brinsley Schwarz - "Ju Ju Man"

I just deleted a post for "I" after reading the goal here is to get to 26 different posters.

Maybe the first post should be links instead of embeds (with the exception of your pick for "A"). The page is starting to become a bear to load.

Anyway, we actually made it past the halfway point!
