'Alternate Lifestyle' by Cruelty Free
Please see WP:MUSIC. No song or album is ever allowed to have an article on Wikipedia if the band that recorded it doesn't have one yet. No matter how notable you think the song is, the band has to have a properly referenced article before any piece of music they recorded can have one. Our job here is to be an encyclopedia, not a repository of copyright data for every song on earth whether the band that recorded it has an article on here or not. And even if and when the band does get an article, the song's correct Wikipedia title would be "Alternate Lifestyle (song)", not "'Alternate Lifestyle' by Cruelty Free".

Fair enough. My insistence to relist this was due to the fact that the song, and/or composer of the song, is more notable than the artist that recorded it in this instance. For example, I was going to add other uses of the song (licensed for use on MSN, Payperview, etc.). I realize there are wiki guidelines. The band is notable but I cannot mention the other uses of the song without also creating a wiki for the composer. Maybe I will gather resources for both to determine whether it is worthwhile to create an article for them. thanks
