he's also gone crazy on the Dio page because there's a rapper with the same name. commenting under every single picture of him, telling him to die and so on. i had to block him because the second-hand embarrassment was too much. i genuinely don't understand how people act like that past the age of 14

While arguing and cursing in shoutboxes does go a little far (and what I read here about that Dio shoutbox even more, obviously), I do understand the annoyance. It's not like Rainbow is some unknown garage band that released two demos and then split up. It's a legendary, very well-respected band. To name your k-pop group the same shows ignorance or a lack of respect, or both.

i agree with both of you, really. yes, it's annoying when two groups share the same name, especially when lastfm can't tell them apart. 'rainbow' is a very good name, it feels almost inevitable it would be re-used multiple times by unrelated groups (see also: american group from the 60s & thai group from the 80s). it is absolutely not worth expending ridiculous amounts of energy on a daily basis on some crusade, trying to convince the "other side" that "MY rainbow is better than YOUR rainbow". we are on lastfm, let's all have a nice time

Yeah let's bury the hatchet. I still think like Thijs but i recognize as i said before i transcended, many times. But it's quite hard to have the library full of things that i don't listen to... that's it.

Honestly i think Fallout 3 was the best. Fallout 4 not really good with a too hard gameplay, pointless crafting, OP enemies, zero weapons, bad interface and not so original story

Russ Ballard wrote that song, not Rainbow. You can't even make good jokes. Open a rock history book and try to learn something.

It took months for them to fix those pages. I looked at the last fm support forums regularly during that time and a lot of people complained until the staff finally took their slow asses to fix it.

Anyone should do that... BTW nothing will change for that website, they say that any band should share with whatever band has the same name and that's all... I subscribed first in 2006 and now it's almost 20 years with that problem. They simply don't want to solve it, and it's kinda sad, because there will be absolutely no fights like this. We will never go to their pages... and those girls are really not so smart, they only demonstate how uncultured they are!

Last.fm will not and cannot do anything about it. It would require a completely new database, erasing all previous scrobbles. That's not going to happen. It's also important to understand that they're pretty much running on fumes these days. Last.fm doesn't publicise who's in charge of the company anymore. Up until 2015, there was a team page for that exact purpose (see here https://tinyurl.com/y8nkbacm). They have been bringing up the "not possible bcuz we're working on the database" for almost a full decade by now. Nothing will change.

On their side, it's more a Last.fm bug, that years after years haven't (and i think will never do) implemented the splitting of artists. Given that, they can't come here and pretend (with also the use of bots, that should be totally illegal) promote a band that it's relevant just for them!

Putting the weird fact that a K-pop group shares the name with one of the most amazing bands of all time, let's all praise the amazing musicianship from RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW!!! Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow formed around fifty years ago, and their music is still relevant. ❤️
