I like it this way so I can browse my music in the order it was released by Artist. I also re-label the genre tags because iTunes assigns them all over the place. One band can have several different labels for different albums for the same type of music. I don't need 50 different classifications of rock.
If you're using iTunes, you can just put year of release in the Sort Album field and it'll order them by release date. The only real wrinkle is you have to account for multiple albums released by the same artist in the same year to keep the order correct.
