Before record was used for vinyl disks, and even before it was used to note who came to a meeting, it was used a long time ago to refer to a musical performance (and the music for same). At least, that's what I think I remember. (Maybe Wikipedia "Recorder", like the instrument?) So anyway, record, like band, has this much larger historical context in which its current usage makes perfect sense. I agree with you. Madonna is not a band. But Van Halen is.
