I happen to be a big fan of various tribute bands. I heard dozens of them, I have huge number of tribute albums and I can say that tributing metal music gives the most interesting results. Maybe because this type of music is usually complex and composed in a proper way, or maybe just because it is funny to listen to heavy guys songs sounding like jazz or country.
Doug
Today the Decaydance record label is the one that has the most interesting pop-rock acts like multi-platinum Fall Out Boy, platinum Panic At The Disco and other prominent young stars like Gym Class Heroes. Doug is one of the label insiders that has released a great jazz tribute album in 2008. The album has covers of songs originally sung by Decaydance artists like the already mentioned Fall Out Boys smash hit Dance Dance and covered by Doug.

Nina Hagen
Nina Hagen is one of the most interesting personalities on the German underground music scene and one of the biggest stars too. She simply manages to be a classy vocalist and a punk in one person. She speaks weird things about UFOs and aliens in her interviews, she dated Antony Kiedis in the 80th, she performed a spectacular cover of Rammstein with Apocalyptica, and that is barely a one tenth of her biography. She had a great influence on numerous punk and post-punk bands, and her hits are still covered by bands worldwide.

Imelda May
Actually I never heard of her. Few weeks ago I found her latest release Love Tattoo in one Spanish blog and she immediately landed on top of my Last.fm and began fueling me from my ipod.
