Favorite "TRIBUTE" album?

Captain_Dude · 2011-07-14T17:40:12-04:00

During the mid-'90s through to the early part of the 2000s, especially, there were a huge number of "TRIBUTE" albums (usually a compilation album of various artists doing covers of another particular artist or theme). I know I have a ton of tribute albums. I really enjoy hearing another artist's take on my favorites. Take a few minutes and share your favorite TRIBUTE ALBUM with us. Here are three of mine: Call it a guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy the Carpenters. Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful voices in the history of recorded music. When I saw this album, I wasn't sure if I could embrace it or grab a crucifix. Luckily, most of the acts on here did not even try to imitate the Carpenters, they made the songs their own. One of my absolute favorites is Sonic Youth's take on "Superstar"...haunting, powerful, and beautiful. Also standing out, for me, is Shonen Knife's "Top of the World," "(They Long to be) Close to You" by the Cranberries, and "Hurting Each Other" by Marc Moreland. My all-time, hands-down favorite band is Black Sabbath. So, I was a little nervous about what these other artists might do to MY band's catalog. The highlight of this album is an industrial-strength version of "Supernaut" by 1,000 Homo DJs (actually a side project of Ministry). Bruce Dickinson (of Iron Maiden) teamed up with Godspeed to do a cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" that almost seems as if it were lifted from an Iron Maiden album. White Zombie adds "Children of the Grave" in the typical Rob Zombie awesome fashion and Type O Negative submits a frakkin' creepshow version of "Black Sabbath". Damn, I love this album. They tried to do a second one of these (Nativity in Black II)...but, it pales to this one. "You Got Me Floatin'" by P.M. Dawn is absolutely mind-blowing...I LOVE it. "Purple Haze" gets a goth twist by the Cure that really works and Buddy Guy really gives "Red House" a work-out. Body Count, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck with Seal...this album has a lot of great stuff. Jimi would have loved it. At their heart, the Eagles were always more country than rock. So, it's no surprise that so many country music greats decided to contribute to this effort. It's fantastic. Tanya Tucker's "Desperado," Travis Tritt's "Take it Easy," and Clint Black's "Desperado" are amazing and they're the stand-outs, for me.

This is the right answer. It's only a tribute album because it's a posthumous release, but it's still Randy Rhoads playing on it.

Sabbath in the suburbs ... unfortunately the song Iron man is the only one that is really worth it for more than just the initial laugh.

Iron Man is actually a very good salsa version.
