	BeatleLinks Fab Forum - Ringo... NOT on Harri tribute album ?
		Considering Starr is on the same label, I would have though for sure he would be part of that album...
		This week, George Harrison's final album, Brainwashed, is at Number 18 on the US album charts.
		Maybe he didn't want to or maybe he's busy recording his own album or maybe the producers of this album were looking for more obscure bands or more trendy bands or whatever.

		This amazing tribute to one of the best pop bands on the planet for almost 15 years now, Teenage Fanclub, is a loving homage to how pop song craft should be done.
		"Tribute albums are always a bit of a hit and miss affair very rarely do bands who collectively get together to worship their heroes actually better the original versions of the songs they cover, which calls to mind the question why bother at all?
		"A Tribute To A Tribute To The Byrds, the cynical might say, but this good-natured "salute" to the `90s Scottish indie heroes fulfils its remit in reminding you just how damn fine Teenage Fanclub`s songs are.

	Amazon.co.uk: Brand New Boots and Panties [a Tribute to Ian Dury]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The concept was to re-record Ian Dury And The Blockheads' 1977 smash hit album with the annoying title "New Boots And Panties" with the Blockheads supplying the instrumental talent and a group of guest vocalists replacing the late Ian Dury.
		It could be seen as tasteless to replace the very person to whom you're paying tribute, but because Dury's talents lay as much in the field of songwriting as in performing, this isn't the case.
		This album is full of surprises - the artists I expected to be poor perform brilliant renditions of songs from the great man's best loved album, and those from whom much was expected are disappointing.

		I liked his energy, and I thought in the case of Gram, it wasn't so much a tribute as an introduction to [him], because a lot of people don't know who he is. They've heard his name; they haven't really heard his music.

		A true labour of love for me...Desert Beetles was conceived of in late 1992 as a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the arrival of the Beatles in America.

		Alas the album was released in early September, with 3 live shows in different parts of the city featuring the artists on the album playing songs of their own as well as those of the Beatles.

		we are fans of tori ourselves and want this to be the best possible tribute we can create while giving some more underground bands a chance to show their goods to the hordes of other tori fans out there.

		Closing the album is the incredibly pointless second cover of Girls On Film by The Wesley Willis Fiasco.
		I've never heard a tribute album that fully manages to capture what made the original band so exciting and worthy of tribute.
