Never the BrideEncomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin

Good music

This is an excellent tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time! I see reviews where people are upset or "unimpressed" with this album. Things like (to paraphrase) if the best these talented artists can do with these songs is sing them like they were originally recorded....blah blah blah.......There's a difference between a cover and a tribute! These songs were recorded EXACTLY as they should be. I congratulate the artists that participated in the making of this album and say THANK YOU! For re-recording these tracks the way they were originally recorded. THANK YOU for paying tribute to one of the greatest ROCK BANDS of any generation! Without Zepplin where would music be? If you are a fan of Zepplin then you should certainly give this album a try. I personally love it!

Non Blondes version of Misty Mountain Hop, Rollins band version of Four Sticks and Hootie & the Blowfish version of Hey, Hey What Can I Do are my favorite selections from this Led Zep tribute album.

This is one of the best tribute albums of all time. Every track is great and I don't mean the songs. I call this a tribute album where most tribute albums are cover compilations. These artists' keep intact the original songs virtue. I couldn't say any track stands out more then another but Duran Duran and STP have really good renditions along with Rollins Band. The 4 Non Blonds are even killing it. Fans and non fans of Zepplin could enjoy this.

I'm not a huge fan of Led Zeppelin. I have always liked this cd for itself. I had a copy a long time and cracked it down the middle. Amazon is the only place I could find it. Due to the wide variety of singers styles on it, I'd recommend it for adventurous music lovers.

it has been more than 25 years that i finally get to have this with me!! cannot wait to play it, it was worth waiting for this.

Saw the original video on TV . . . had the audio cassette tape (lost it) and I had a compilation of Led Zeppelin songs with the cover done by Helmet and David Yow, so when I went looking for a replacement for my lost tape and got this CD . . . I'd forgotten about Cheryl Crows cover of D'yer Maker . . . good stuff . . . a bit price-y but I had to have it !!!

Yes! If you love great music, if you Love Led Zeppelin, buy this homage to their greatness.These bands:4 Non Blondes, Hootie & The Blowfish, Sheryl Crow, Stone Temple Pilots, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Duran Duran, Blind Melon, Cracker,Helmet with David Yow (of The Jesus Lizard), Rollins Band, Never the Bride, Robert Plant and Tori Amos.Do justice to classic Led Zeppelin!

Se puede decir que se esperaba algo más potente por ser Led Zeppelin la banda tributada, pero la verdad es que el sonido es preciso, fino y sorprendente. Obviamente debe estar en toda colección. Buena compra, envío en lo establecido. No sé qué esperan para comprarlo, la verdad.

muy buen tributo, grupos muy buenos desde blind melon a sherill crow, ademas de utilizar canciones no tan conocidas de los lez

I feel this collection is better than the originals by LedZep. Mainly because of the different voices

I bought this as a gift for a Led Zeppelin fan who otherwise has everything. Even though nothing compares to the real deal Led Zeppelin, he really enjoyed this tribute album (which features some very good bands in their own right) so I was pleased with the purchase. Amusingly he felt the only song letting the album down was the duet between Tori Amos and Robert Plant himself! But we all know what Robert was really up to anyway...

Excellent - brings back fond memories of BOTH Led Zeppelin songs and the Artists who have covered them for this special Album - for example. 'Duran Duran' or '4 Non Blondes'. I'd give this album 10/10
