[edit] Cover bands bad?

cover bands are a cancer to the music scene

First, please Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. Thanks. Secondly, why do you think they are cancer? If your arguments are common knowledge or if you have a source we may add them to the article. Hyacinth 09:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFD on Gabba, cover/tribute band to ABBA as The Ramones

Also cited in Cover version as "An extreme example of punk cover versions", and now included (by me) in Cover band, Gabba (band) has been marked for deletion. You may want to vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabba (band) -- 62.147.37.227 11:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

AFD closed, the result was Keep -- 62.147.112.7 10:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are these cover bands/artists?

Singers and groups like Johnny Rivers, Judy Collins, and The Fugees are best known for their hit covers of other artists/bands songs. Are they cover bands in any sense and should their be a mention in this article of bands and artists best known for their covers over any original music they ever did? --67.101.103.42 04:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
