I'd suggest that in this case one should consider using MusicBrainz, in order to get more comprehensive and better results than either with Wikidata or Wikipedia.

I wouldn't say the data is better, just different. Instead of "how do I extract the info I want?" your problem becomes too much data to sift through. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24992600

That obscures my point.

My point is that even if "Wikipedia" may not be the best tool, "Wikidata" is the wrong tool because the data is wrong.
