Im all for a Marshall Crenshaw tribute - its about time someone paid
attention to his songwriting, which has always been consistent and tuneful.
Not Lame would be a good home for it. A Cars tribute would be a treat if
the compilers keep Punk-Pop and Ska bands from bashing through 100 mph
covers of "Just What I Needed".
An Hall & Oates comp would be interesting and gutsy idea, I just think
would be a hard sell - with their current rep it makes as much sense as a
Huey Lewis & The News tribute. Despite all those annoying CHR hits they did
record a lot of excellent LP material in the 70's-Early 80's (John Oates
"Friday Let Me Down" from "Private Eyes" is a longtime favorite)
