Some are quite vehement. Believe me, I know. I won't detail the grief I've gotten for things other people have written, but it certainly has been impressive. Frankly, I take too much pride in my work to get tossed off like that.

Cover bands play a variety of artists' songs spanning a generation or maybe just several years.
A tribute band specializes in one artist and one artist only. They pay tribute to the artist they cover by trying their best to look, sound, talk, walk and act like the original artist. There's a big difference between covering several artists and paying tribute to just one. Tribute bands do it better. This article is poorly written and is completely ignorant of facts.
