I am writing a few songs of the Contemporary AAA/Alternative listing.
I have no clue what AAA stands for... any feedback? - Phil

The artists that are listed as example include
Rob Thomas and Hootie and the Blowfish

Here is the Taxi listing...

The reference tracks are much more important than the exact genre name. And yes, it stands for Adult Album Alternative, not Automobile Club Of America. :p

Hope that helps!
