TAMA! +11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110. asin, wolfgang(pero may comeback ah! )), Yoyoy Villame is a great artist to pay tribute to(seryoso mga pards.. wouldn't we want the classic NOVELTY of ser yoyoy?) pati isang malaking tribute to all the punks of the 80s ***at sana may "audition".
Good ang mga suggestions ni musikanitwist. One of the things considered as basis for a tribute album is the number of hits the artist has. Sam had a string of hits, many of them not that familiar to the young crowd. Having a tribute now would re-introduce her music to a new audience - parang yung APO tribute album.
I have always thought of the possibilities of making a Yoyoy Villame tribute. Ito ang maganda ipagawa sa mga rock; blues at punk na grupo. Kailangan talagang ibahin niyo ang areglo nito dahil novelty ang original flavor nito. I am a little worried though about getting the copyrights, mechanicals especially. Ang dami kasing ginawa si Yoyoy na adaptation e.g. Butchikik - definitely a keeper in the tribute album but challenging in getting permission.
Wag muna siguro ang Wolfgang. They will definitely have their time later on.
The next challenging question is who will give the tribute. Normally, it is not the genre of music that is considered but the artist. DAPAT KINUKUHA YUNG ARTIST NA CURRENTLY SIKAT, MAY TRACK RECORD NA HIT SONG (sana more than one hit to remove flash in the pan artists), at DAPAT MABIGYANG PUGAY YUNG ORIG ARTIST.
Purposely we get artists from a wide spectrum of musical styles para maging malawak din ang maexplore ng tribute album. Ika nga, lahat ng influences mata-tap.
Good example of good tribute albums - West Side Story (from Christina Aguilera to Michael Macdonald to Chick Corea Electric band to Steve Vai).
