So here I am again with the first results of what we started in that post.

I created a page, where I put some bands in a way it seems easy enough to find what you need.
(If anyone know how to transfer it to the LJ - it would be great)

So please keep adding artists in the comments, but try to fit ito the scheme.

Any corrections and ideas of how to make it better are weclome. :)

That's a good site, but it'd be great if you included active links to the sites so your readers won't have to copy and paste.

Visotsky is rusion chanson? Don't insult a Poet!

It's a compliment. Luckily, learners from outside the country don't have the association that we've got. They will remember Gainsbourg & Co and other french chanson, which is the best we can describe V. V. for non-russians.
Finally, it's not me who proposed this tag. ;) But I do agree with it.

One doubt: is it acceptable in English to call singers "artists"? I've heard it only about painters.

I used to work in show business, so I could assure you that even in the legal contracts they called any musician "The Artist" :)

in english it is totally normal to call a singer an "artist." whether i agree that what they do is art, however, is another matter...
