Pros: Getting to hear some good bands i'd never heard of before. Cons: Some boring tracks.
A few years back, a popular fad was “tribute” music. It seemed that compilation after compilation was put out, where popular bands of the day covered their favorite tunes from some classic rock band. Even in local clubs, there were bands that...
Pros: 4 covers ranging from great to decent Cons: 8 covers that do absolutely NOTHING for me

Tribute?! This is insulting, not only to Zeppelin but to music fans. Released in 1995 with most of the top alternative rock acts of the time recording Zeppelin tunes (Not even their best stuff), this "Tribute" is bad from the start, and bad...
