! NOTE !
Like most 'LINKS' pages on the web, there will, no doubt,
be more and more dead links on this page over time.
It may be years at a time before I return to this page to
remove dead links and replace some links with better links.
In the meantime, try 'WEB SEARCH' links provided on this page.

Go to the Table of Contents, below
(skip the following introduction)

INTRODUCTION :

This page is a list of names of musicians and groups/bands --- in numero-alphabetic order. Simply click on a musician/band name to do a WEB SEARCH that will generally provide sites that have lists of names of their songs and/or albums.

This list is meant as a way of refreshing one's memory about music and musicians. In particular, this list is meant to help find songs that you might like to hear --- again or for the first time.

Most of these names are in the 'pop' (rock, alternative, country) categories rather than 'classical' or 'jazz' or 'rap' categories.

There is a bias towards musicians & bands of the 1960's and 1970's --- tailing off into the 1980's and 1990's.


The names of musicians here are generally listed with their first name first --- for example, "John Lennon" rather than "Lennon, John".

    You can use an option like 'Find in This Page ...' of your web browser to find a last name or alternate name in this list. Example: Find 'jovi' to find any 'Bon Jovi' or 'Jon Bon Jovi' entries.

The names of groups are generally listed without the "the" in front --- for example, "Beatles, The" or simply "Beatles" is used, rather than "The Beatles".


Additions may be made --- as I use the list and discover some names that are missing and that I would like to add.

NOTE:
Some comedy-musicians may be listed, as well as musicians.

NOTE:
Some common alternate-spellings and mis-spellings of names may also be shown.

It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ "Open Directory Project" --- closed down.

It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear.

About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts.

Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites.
