Acting on the advice of one of TD's contributors to "occasionally throw in lighter topics which could allow socializing and bonding," - thanks DS! - a timid attempt to musically link A to Z:

Two versions of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer"

The original: 

Lyrics:

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wondered
With the secrets of the worlds
And his subjects
Gathered around him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood
Straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
They carried them
To the flat lands
And they died along the way
But they built up
With their bare hands
What we still can't do today
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way

and, The Dave Matthews Band's 2018 version featuring Warren Haynes:
