Data geeks: I need data on musical acts. Where to look?
I need data on the thousands of bands and musical acts: City, year formed, number of albums, etc.
I'm looking for the entire data set, not an API like last.fm.
Any suggestions?

- sheraz 17y agoThanks! That was just what I needed. I downloaded he data dumps, ran some simple text processing, and now have over 400,000 unique artists to work with. Cheers!
