Artists biographied and albums reviewed by Tyranny in All Music Guide or All Classical Guide

What is the point of that (badly named) section? Why should an exhaustive list of people whom a single man has reviewed be considered encyclopedic? A single sentence like "He has reviewed a number of notable figures, including ..." would be sufficient. I'd remove the section outright, but several people have put some effort into it, so I'll pose the question here first. --Ardonik 06:01, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

Remove it. If the excternal website doesn't index by reviewer, why should we? Andy Mabbett 11:53, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Done. --Ardonik 21:46, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

Actually, if the external website did index by reviewer, there would be no need of it anywhere. Hyacinth 22:01, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I would still argue that such trivia has no place in an encyclopedia, but there's no harm in keeping the information here. --Ardonik 00:30, 2004 Aug 4 (UTC)

Article title

I don't know how to change the title of the article, but I don't think he ever went by "Gene Tyranny," it was always "Blue" Gene Tyranny Jamescube (talk) 02:07, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Correct, but to me he was always just Bob Sheff. I knew his stage name, but not how to spell it. While he was Mills College, I was invited to be an incompetent player of the Star-Spangled Banner in a piece by Marc Grafe and stumbled appropriately. After the concert Bob Sheff got on the stage and played the most amazing set of scales at high speed. WaltPeterson (talk) 13:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
