I put the original artist in a ORIGARTIST tag instead, and use CustomScan to 
read that tag (and CustomBrowse to list "cover albums by orig artist" or "cover 
albums by covering artist").

I leave COMPOSER tags for classical music, never popular music.
I wouldn't want to look for classical music grouped by composer, and find Bob 
Dylan albums.
Additionally, a song could have been composed by artist X for artist Y, and 
artist Z may have covered it, in which case I tag the song with artist Z and 
origartist Y.

But there's no right answer to tagging such things really.

Using Custom Browse plugin, you can decide which artist roles to include in any 
menu (eg. make your own Album menu that will not include composers).
