I'm not sure of the worst tribute album
We're All Normal When We Want Our Freedom is a ghastly tribute to Lee's Love (I'm surprised he loved the horrific early 90s release)
But Brittle Days..
Nick Drake is SUCH a superb songwriter, but .. YIKES!!
heres a taster - the High Llamas covering At the Chime of a City Clock off of Bryter Layter:

Appalling
Smack Dab doing Bummer in the Summer:

can't imagine it being a B Side to Sparky's Dream, let alone being on the Love tribute!
the only bad song they ever cut |

Unfortunately they pick well-known artists for such ventures (with no feel for what they are doing in tribute of an artist). Instead they need to recruit talented artists, no matter how well known.
But then would it sell...too bad is always about $$. If it's good the money will come.

The HLs tried to funkify the drum beat and rhythms of "Chimes" and the result was pretty ghastly. If they hadn't done that, it wouldn't have been that bad...
I have to give the credit for the worst one to the recent Judee Sill Tribute CD, though.
Not one even mediocre track.
What happened to the days of "Nillson Sings Newman"?
Are these kids that ADHD'd and musically retarded that they can't even properly interpret a song?
I should know the answer to that one- I was a high school music teacher for almost 16 years
