Heh. You posted perfectly good examples right there, but it only
reinforces the point that it's not really necessary.
What matters (IMHO) is:
Did they change their name themselves. For whatever purpose, did the
band, itself, while still together, decide they needed a new name, and
do they have music released under both (all) names.
What we don't want (again, IMHO) is:
Using such an AR to deal with the fact that post-career compilations
tend to invent bazillions of name combinations that never actually
existed. Those should still be merged out of existence, this AR
should only be for _real_ band name changes.
Hopefully that's clearer than my first attempt.
