[x] Alias or not ?

I'm in favor of a rule that allows "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" to be an alias for "Rainbow" on the grounds that there are no other people's Rainbows.

And even then, if Dio decided to form "Ronny James Dio's Rainbow" without Blackmore then RB's Rainbow would still be an alias for Rainbow but Ronny James Dio's Rainbow would be a seperate entry. Because at the time RB's Blackmore first released albums there were no other Rainbows.

Not for me - sorry to disagree. I think that Blackmore signalled something when moving from RBR to Rainbow - that it was more of a group entity. Personally I don't see them as equal.
