I was thinking of 'Member of' ARs, but that's of course completely  
optional.

Anyway, after thinking some more about it I think I agree with you. If the  
name can be attributed to a single person, like MF DOOM and King Geedorah  
which are stage names Daniel Dumile use for releases, then it should be  
Person. If however it's an act that it makes no sense to attach to a  
single person, like Neverending White Lights, then it should be group.

An imperfect solution for an imperfect world. :|
