He's actually quite a good musician, and very eclectic in what he plays. I mean, there's no one-legged flute playing, but still.

He's done a few very good pieces. I don't care for the bulk of his work, though.
As to filing, the real question comes down to is "Kid Rock" his name or the name of his act? Or maybe more meaningfully: do his friends call him "Kid" as if it were a first name?

First line of "Bawitiba:"
"My name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiid.......... Kid ROCK."

And oh, saw him in concert: at one point he played every instrument on stage... well.
And I forget what album it was, but almost every song was of a different genre and style of the one previous, from straight rap to Hank Williams-style country to (old) ZZ-Top-style drinking and fucking songs. It's actually sort of impressive.

Ks, G. Vanilla Ice don't get filed under "I."

Sure, but that's referring to his act (or maybe "professional persona" is a better word).
Based on my online research, he still goes by his given name (Robert James Ritchie) when not in the spotlight. He also named his kid Robert James Ritchie Jr. in 1993.
I think the "K" filing wins.

Alice Cooper is actually the dude's legal name, but it also used to be his band's name.

He changed it from... Tony Fuhrner (?) to AC? Cos he wasn't born as AC.

But originally the name of the band was AC, not the guy, they even mention it in an early song iirc.

Then technically his early work would be filed under "Alice Cooper", and later albulms after the name change would be filed under "Cooper, Alice".

Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
And I suppose Jethro Tull has the same problem.
