I e-mailed the last.fm staff about how there are many artists names which need to be merged together. I asked them if the reason they stopped doing that was because they weren't aware of it.

Their reply was:

I'm sorry, but as it stands, it's not possible for us to merge multiple artist
names into one unified alias. This is a known issue of ours, and we wish to
address it accordingly. Until then, I can only apologize for any inconvenience
which this may cause you.

I guess until the time comes, we can help make their work easier by making a list of names that need to be merged. Please comment if you have any that's not listed! (I'm sure it's a lot!)

* I'm sorry the list is all over the place. To check if the artist name is already listed or not, please use CTRL+F
