I mean, what the shit is that? I'm just being considerate. In literature, you italicise or underline (can't remember) the names of books, articles, magazines, or whatever, right? Same concept. It's to help identify it as a title (artist or album) and not just words in the sentence.
And the MB courtesy crusade wages on...

I agree, though Italicizing and underlining are used for the same purposes when it comes to titles, but italicizing is key on the webz as most underlined stuff looks like a hyperlink.
