Well, I'm not really a prolific follower of classical music, mostly having some 
compilation albums, where each track has a different composer, so don't want 
these added to the artist list.

Of course, I would typically browse to the compilation album, rather than try 
to find a specific composer (artist).

If there were a My Music > Composers, that would perhaps be okay to be a flat 
list of all composers, even if they only have involvement on compilation albums 
(in the same way we propose to remove special logic for "Various Artists" and 
create a Browse Compilations browse list.

But it does seem a bit odd that composers, conductors and bands are not treated 
with the same logic as track artists in the current LMS behaviour.
