The fix is very simple:

Banshee just has to list artists NOT by the "artist" tag, but by the 
"albumartist" tag. 
That's exactly why this tag exists... alternativly "albumartistsort" gives the 
list as the sorted list as used by librarians - both easy to use, easy to 
implement.... 

If no one wants to change the default behaviour just add an option in
which every user can choose or even configure the way the different
views rely on standard tags.

For information on tags as most people use them checkout the
"musicbrainz.org" project.

Also I recommend using lollypop, clementine, quodlibet or any other
music player/organizer out there - banshee is simply not up to date and
seems to be neglected, 2.6.2 is a two year old bugfix release...

cheers, p.
