I could see some sort of "disambiguation" feature like on wikipedia. So when I click on your link above, it could give me links to Felt (rock), Felt (rap), and Felt (classic).

I made up the genres, but the point remains. Then clicking on Felt (rock) takes me to last.fm/music/Felt(rock).

That's the easy bit :P Copy wikipedia, disambiguate by genre and/or country .

It gets harder when someone scrobbles a track by "Felt", to which artist do you attribute it? There's a whole host of problems like that to solve too.
