Description

I would like to propose that we use the artist who is being honored by a tribute (the composer) as the release artist for tribute releases. Here are a few things to consider:

  • We could add "Tribute" as a release type, get rid of the TributeRelationshipType
  • Tributes could be grouped on the composer's artist page (based on the new release type)

Arguments in Favor

  • These tribute releases disappear into the abyss of Various Artists
  • Those who are concerned with tribute releases are generally those who are concerned with the composer
  • Easier access to tribute releases instead of having to link through the bare-bones ARs (just name, not other info)

Arguments Against
