I think I agree more or less with Don (at least, if I understood him right). If the choices were "Person" or "Band" then I could see a case for covering "things which are more than one person, but are not a band". The choices are "Person" and "Group" though, which seems sufficient for me. Pigface, Excessive Force, and Willard Grant Conspiracy are all without any shadow of a doubt groups, but we could spend hours debating if they are collaborations, bands, or projects, and I'm not entirely sure I see what purpose that would serve.
this i agree with. i think we're seeing some people intepreting 'group' as some kind of equal effort, where really it just means (to me) "group of persons". a lot of groups have 1 singular creative force, and a bunch of glorified session musicians, yet i think this can be solved simply by having the group leader as the 'member', and others as 'additional member' - see http://musicbrainz.org/showrel.html?id=8871&type=artist _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
