I think this crosses the line into LOOKING for problems. I think that main-band/side-project shouldn't be treated the way any individual artist is.
For example: Yes - Conspiracy, ABWH, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Jon Anderson, Patrick Moraz, Bill Bruford+Patrick Moraz, etc. Should none of these be allowed to play back to back? If Yes plays, then ABWH, and then Conspiracy, Ok, it happens, but there is NO WAY that this is request abuse. That would require someone requesting the songs back to back, which isn't possible without goofing the IP. Bill Bruford is in Yes, KC, Bruford, UK, solo, and Earthworks on AM. Should none of those bands be allowed to play back to back? What about Mike Portnoy? He's in Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiement, OSI, and Transatlantic. Let's make sure none of those bands get played too close together!!!! How many different artist's is Mike Keneally featured with on this station? Roine Stolte? John Myung? Ansley Dunbar is on Journey and Zappa stuff. Do we need to figure out exactly which songs and keep them from playing too close?
If a Journey song and a Neal Schon solo piece play back to back, what that means is that two seperate people requested them, or SAM pulled it. This is not abuse. If it was the same person, there'd be at least an hour gap.
K.I.S.S. is my method. Disallow the same artist from playing twice in a two hour (or three) period, but don't go crazy with things like, "no KC, Trey Gunn Band, Fripp/Eno, or Tony Levin can play in a two...". It's ludicrous.
That's my $0.02 on that topic.
