The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

Lyrics:
In the southern part of Texas
In the town of San Antone
There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a-one
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun
You can hear a ghostly bugle
As the men go marching by
You can hear them as they answer
To that roll call in the sky.
Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett, and a hundred eighty more
Captain Dickinson, Jim Bowie
Present and accounted for.
Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis
"Get some volunteers and go
Fortify the Alamo."
Well the men came from Texas
And from old Tennessee
And they joined up with Travis
Just to fight for the right to be free.
Indian scouts with squirrel guns
Men with muzzle-loaders
Stood together, heel and toe
To defend the Alamo.
"You may ne'er see your loved ones, "
Travis told them that day
"Those who want to can leave now
Those who fight to the death let 'em stay."
In the sand he drew a line
With his army sabre
Out of a hundred eighty five
Not a soldier crossed the line
With his banners a-dancin'
In the dawn's golden light
Santa Anna came prancing
On a horse that was black as the night.
Sent an officer to tell
Travis to surrender
Travis answered with a shell
And a rousing rebel yell
Santa Anna turned scarlet
"Play deguello!" he roared
"I will show them no quarter
Every one will be put to the sword!"
One hundred and eighty five
Holding back five thousand
Five days, six days, eight days, ten
Travis held and held again
Then he sent for replacements
For his wounded and lame
But the troops that were coming
Never came, never came, never came...
Twice he charged and blew recall
On the fatal third time
Santa Anna breached the wall
And he killed 'em, one and all
Now the bugles are silent
And there's rust on each sword
And the small band of soldiers...
Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord...
In the southern part of Texas
Near the town of San Antone
Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone
And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before
Santa Anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar
And his eyes turn sorta misty
And his heart begins to glow
And he takes his hat off slowly...
To the men of Alamo.
To the thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo...
Joey Fleeger
God bless the Alamo
God bless the light Calvary
God bless the rebels
God bless the Gettysburg
God bless the bull run
God bless the men and women who fought
God bless the dead
God bless this land
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Visiting the Alamo, seeing the bullet holes, and how small the church is, it's stunning that 185 could hold out for 13 days against such an overwhelming force.
Jacob Hargiss
Most of the 13 days was santa ana shelling them and depriving them of sleep as he bolstered his forces, the really amazing part is that facing a certain bloody death, no one fled.
Hank Gillette
The battle wasn’t in the church. The Alamo was a big courtyard, about a quarter-mile around. Some of the walls were low and one part had fallen and was partially repaired by rocks and timber. The Alamo was undefendable and everyone knew it, which is why Houston told Travis to destroy it, not defend it.
Conner Gohlke
Well actually the reason it fell was because it was too big to defend go look at a layout of the yard from that time its absolutly massive,and they couldve cover all the walls with the necesarry amount of men and the north wall,which was already in ruins,was the first to go
Conner Gohlke
@Hank Gillette yeah the north wall i believe was in ruins as well as the "little ol picket fence over there" as crockett ssaid next to the chapel
Matt Jahnke
Yes, but it was a hell of a lot bigger then.
George Vreeland Hill
Outnumbered, but they stood tall and brave. When you visit the Alamo, you visit the true spirit of America.
Jack Thorton
Remember the Alamo!
