5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy and Cool, November 16, 2004

This review is from: It Was 40 Years Ago Today: Tribute to the Beatles (Audio CD)

Mostly artists I've never heard of before, but who cares? I can tell that they love the songs they're playing as much as I do, and they do quite a nice job of it. Some songs sound a lot like the originals, while some take off into the wild. If you're a Beatles fan who likes tribute albums, try this one out. It's a love fest.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply a great Beatles cover album, December 30, 2007

This review is from: It Was 40 Years Ago Today: a Tribute to the Beat (Audio CD)

There are a few clunkers on this album and a few songs where the artist is trying too hard to sound like the Beatles (which is nearly always a mistake), but a great number of the tracks are nice reworks of the original songs. I liked it so much, I made a friend listen to it; he ended up liking it so much that he's ordering his own.

This review is from: It Was 40 Years Ago Today: a Tribute to the Beat (Audio CD)

50 tracks (only about 3 i dislike) of alternative rock covers of beatle songs that retain the spirit of the original songs but have enough variations to make the songs fresh. that's exactly the model of a good tribute album. most of the songs are hard enough to rock, but still pop enough stay beatle-ish.
