I work at Blockbuster Music and have listened to it many times. In my
opinion, some of the tunes are quite good....others are OK. I can't help but
say that I STILL prefer the "original" versions from Led Zeppelin!
It's just another blatant murchandising ploy. I say quit the "tribute" trend
and concentrate on releasing ALL the Rock-n-Roll treasures that are STILL
sitting in the record company vaults!
FYI...The latest "tribute" CD is to the Beatles....covers done by country
artists??? (it pretty well sucks).
