Changed line(s) 5 from:

1. It\'s uncertain when this band or artist started producing.
2. It\'s uncertain when, or if, this band or artist finished producing. There may be albums that are effectively in Dis Continuity because the record company isn\'t promoting them. And musicians who can no longer get records released through major outlets often keep touring.
3. The band that needs a listing has had high turnover. There are a few bands that have had 100% turnover, in which case one must think carefully about what one is listing. (For instance, the Four Tops was a classic band in its time, but now is the same band In Name Only.) Likewise, one must determine whether The Band Minus The Face is worth covering.
4. For shorter-lived bands, little is known about them but the existence of their singles.
5. For some bands, Complaining About Shows You Dont Like is hard to avoid, justified or not. (I am trying to imagine a fair and balanced The Backstreet Boys entry.)
