I appreciate not the answer you are looking for, but with such a small set,
why not just build it dynamically and have the second option listed along
with the first:

AC/DC - High Voltage
AC/DC - TNT
Lou Reed
Ry Cooder
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Beatles - Hard Days Night
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
The Spencer Davis Group
Wings
ZZ Top

You should be able to script the menuhistory to work as well, ie, if the
menuhistory was originally on 'The Beatles' you should be able to get it to
be preselected on 'The Beatles - Abbey Road'.
