jacket Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 First off - at the album title. Now, I was reading the wikipedia page for TUTMP and saw a cover had been done by A Flock of Seagulls for a tribute album launched in 2006. I don't mind a couple of their songs, so I thought I'll give it a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG86aCbYEc8 Well, it was pretty shit. The rest of the covers: Vol. 1 1. Holiday - Heaven 2. Like A Prayer - Loleatta Holloway 3. Like A Virgin (LCD Mix) - Annabella Lwin Of Bow Wow Wow 4. Why It's So Hard - Dead Or Alive 5. Live To Tell - Berlin 6. Vogue - Astralasia 7. Justify My Love - Frontline Assembly 8. Bad Girl - James Hardway/ Amanda Ghost, Boy George 9. Material Girl - KMFDM 10. Bedtime Story - Silverbeam 11. Express Yourself - Information Society 12. Swim - Spahn Ranch 13. Frozen (Razed In Black Mix) - Gene Loves Jezebel 14. Burning Up (Interface Mix) - The Voluptuous Horror Of Karen Black Vol. 2 1. Open Your Heart (Die Krupps Remix) - Ofra Haza 2. Lucky Star - Switchblade Symphony 3. Ray Of Light - Sigue Sigue Sputnik 4. Borderline - Ogre 5. Into The Groove (Meeks Remix) - Dale Bozzio 6. This Used To Be My Playground - A Flock Of Seagulls 7. Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Michelle Crispin [a cover of a cover ] 8. Rescue Me - Adeva 9. Erotica - Razed In Black Vs. Transmutator 10. Skin - Mephisto Waltz 11. Cherish - Loop Guru 12. Rain - Rosetta Stone 13. Deeper And Deeper - Mark Pistel 14. Like a Prayer - Bigod 20 Anyone listened to any of these? Also getting some of these 80s has-beens to do Madonna's songs is kinda insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic_system Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 When it was released back in the day (vol.1 and 2) it was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 It's just so tacky. Loleatta Holloway is an amazing vocalist but her cover of LAP is awful. Madonna is an AMAZING vocalist. Flop. She's incredibly underrated and disrespected as a vocalist. I love her so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SecretGarden Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I agree with the comments above that for the most part the album is tacky and unpleasent. I'm put off by most Madonna tribute albums, and I have listened to quite a few; a Madonna song excites you, it has loads of personality and it's emotive - most tribute albums take these qualities out and what is left is usually bland pretentious rubbish or karaoke versions.

Supernatural Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I liked Why's It So Hard by Dead Or Alive and Swim by Spahn Ranch. The only good Glee track was by a male singer also (WIFLFAG) Women can't cover her songs well for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aime Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I heard it once back in 2003 or something. I guess they tried to make it as alt as possible, but it's just noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
