Another late night ,smoky,  beer-fuelled round-the-pool-table-discussion in the spirit of  the finest intellectuals: who, of all  of our favourite recording artists, has actually achieved the most throughout their career?  The obligatory Oasis fan in the corner ( notice how he's always the loudest in voicing his opinions) pipes up, pointing out to us all that his beloved Mancunians' sales figures probably outstrip those of our favourite poxy indie groups combined. He's right, of course, but are sales figures really the only viable determining factor?  I hope not.  A brainstorm strikes: surely prolificness must also be a factor. And surely few can rival Tanya Donelly. After all, how many people can you name who have been in three of the most respected indie ( in the word's most traditional sense) groups of the last couple of decades, and who have moved on to launch a promising solo career? Not many, I'll bet (and, indeed, did - and won).
    But in Tanya Donelly and her dalliances with Throwing Muses, The Breeders and Belly respectively, such a person exists.
