S - 438
R - 263
A - 213

And that's all bands, not just metal.

438 bands????

Actually, no. That's CDs. Too much work to break it down by band.

OK, I have 218 "S" bands.

This is the entire collection, not just metal...

The Most: S - 63
The Least: X - 1
Honorable mention: B - 45

I have at least 5 cd's for every letter of the alphabet with the exception of X (Xentrix).

I have 4 X bands:

Xandria
XTC
XYZ
XXX

Wow, that is still a lot. I think I have a little over 70.

I think M would be the second most used first letter.

Honorable mention to the letter P, as I thought that would rank down there with W or G.

Y is the least used letter. The only artist I've put there is YNGWIE MALMSTEEN.

My Ys:

Y&T
Yahoos
Young Dubliners
YoYos
You Am I
Young, Neil

And I just counted my Ms = 100

For metal, S for me as well.
In general....yeah, that's S too.

For me in my collection...S & A have the most. T and M also are pretty huge. J, Q, X, Y & Z have the least according to my database.

I'm too lazy to look up the actual number. But I do know on my ipod when I'm spinning to get to a t-z group the S groups seem to never end. The M & B groups aren't much better.

I think that it's A, at least as far as bands in the physical collection are concerned. Looks like 24...

AC/DC
Accept
Ace Frehley
Adramelch
Aerosmith
Alcatrazz
Alchemist
Alice Cooper
Alice in Chains
Annihilator
Anthrax
Apocalyptica
Arcturus
Armored Saint
Artillery
ASAP
Asia
Asphalt Ballet
Asphyx
Aspid
Atheist
Atomic Opera
Atrocity
Avenged Sevenfold

EDIT: No, it's definitely S (35)...

Sabbat
Sacred Oath
Sacred Reich
Sadist
Saigon Kick
Saint Vitus
Sammy Hagar
Samson
Sanctuary
Savatage

(Insert kinky comments here...)

Definitely S

Geeky thread. Though in a heavy metal kind of way.

D is clearly up there, too, as are R, A, and O.
