No, it's not.

Example:  Thirty Years of Maximum R&B by The Who, with several tracks
by The High Numbers.  This is a Who album (ie, The High Numbers is the
original name).

It is the "corner cases" that make this a challenge, but the corner
cases are real (also think of Tribute albums, which should have an
Album Artist of whoever the tribute is to).  These are different from
the usual "Greatest Hits of the 70's" or whatever type albums which
would not have an album artist...
