Select all songs. Get info.
Under 'Album Artist' enter either the artist name that makes the most sense, or 'Various Artists' if you prefer.
Deselect 'Album is a compilation of songs by various artists'.
There are some things that are annoying about iTunes, but by and large there are simple fixes for all of them. Should you have to? I don't know, but I bet that every alternative has different cataloguing issues that you need to learn the shortcuts to sort out, although they aren't as much fun to bash as iTunes is.

If you have a device that only uses iTunes perhaps get another device that runs a music app that you do like.
It's all about choices.
iTunes certainly isn't perfect, but I sometimes struggle to understand the hatred for it. By and large it does what it's meant to do with very little fuss - at least the way I use it. And I do use it with CDs and multiple devices. There have been times when they've changed things for what appears to be no good reason and I've had to re-learn stuff like this, but that's mostly all.

Then they threw all of that out the window and decided to go down the Apple route and attempted to make Windows 10 into a pseudo-walled-garden, and the hallowed host of techies wept.

My experience with Windows 10 has been very positive, with one niggle - it keeps trying to convince me, via the notifications in the corner, to use edge browser and cortana.
I use Chrome as I can sync my data to my Android.
Then when I became a Mac user it found new ways to feck me off.
Albums I own and had ripped many itunes version before, which had all been fine and dandy for years, suddenly after one update were wrong. Some songs from the album had the right album artwork, some did not.
Also, rather than sync my actual files so that they could be accessed online from my iphone (as had previously been the case) they thought no, we have these songs already, these are your files now. But in doing so the same buggy recognition that fucked up album art started mixing up live and studio versions of songs willy nilly.
I now keep NO music in itunes and pay for a family Spotify account.
I have many movie and game soundtrack albums for research purposes [and ripping off… lmao]
for example.. Hans Zimmer albums will often contain many artists.. so this can be a real prob..
looks like I have much fixing to do
My only bugbear is that one is three times the price of the other
It is true that by being very (I mean very, so things like that really piss me off ) OCD about cataloguing my music library in just the way I want, I've learned a lot of these little tricks - and it would certainly be a huge amount of work if I had to start from scratch again.

my hatred of iTunes has calmed down a bit now… lol..
as with most computery things, you can be just a click or two from the solution…
but until you know what clicks in what order, it'll frustrate your tits off
have a wiz
Any music software that can't organise itself is utter shite. In this day and age iTunes is pathetic.
I hate iTunes with a passion.
