1) The more prominent was an alternative rock band active from 1991 to 1996. Belly was formed in 1991 by former Throwing Muses members Tanya Donelly (also in The Breeders with Kim Deal) and Fred Abong. Based in Boston, Massachusetts (although all of the members were from Newport, Rhode Island), the band consisted of Donelly on lead vocals, Abong on bass, Tom Gorman on guitar, and Chris Gorman on drums. In 1993, they scored an alternative hit with the single Feed the Tree. Their debut album, “Star”, reached number 2 on the UK albums chart, with its 1995 follow-up, “King”, reaching number 6.
2) Belly is a rapper and hip-hop artist from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, with origins in Palestine. He is a practicing Muslim.
He first appeared on Massari’s third single “Rush the Floor,” and his first solo single “Pressure” featuring Ginuwine premiered in January 2007.
Belly’s debut album, “The Revolution,” was released June 5, 2007 in Canada. He is also featured in Danny Fernades’ “Private Dancer”

I really wish they'd split Belly the band and Belly the rapper soon. I inquired about the same conflict on iLike and they split them almost right away. Besides, the most listens are for the band. Give them their own page, damnit!

i recently listened to "star" and "king" after a few years again: i still think that the former was a much stronger album than the latter.

This is clearly a case of "who was first" and seeing that the rapper released his first single in 2006 and the band formed in 1991, guess who should be first and should have the picture? stop changing the artist bio to only reflect the rapper and flagging all the pics of the band. MIA, Bis, X and The Prodigy all have these problems too, but not to this extent.

last.fm needs to split this to keep the peace (And to stop confusion), ditto M.I.A. and bis.

"Star" was superb, still sounds great. Though I'm more of a Throwing Muses fan - I wish Tanya had sung more songs in the muses.

Greatest band ever? Really? How about the Breeders and Throwing Muses bands she bounced around in? Belly always kinda sounded like a forgettable college rock band to me.
