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
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.
