As did Bjorn Again with their cover versions of Erasure songs "Erasuresque"
I recently saw a Smiths tribute act (can't remember what they're called) and they were pretty good. It all started with the Bootleg Beatles, didn't it? |

Not a tribute band as such, but if you even get the chance to see The Hamsters then go for it. They do Hendrix and ZZ Top covers plus a few of their own and classic blues/rock stuff.

Two great ones I've seen
Disposable Heroes - Metallica Powerage - ACDC Also heard good things about The Next Pistols - The Sex Pistols and The Rawmones - The Ramones. Saw The Bootleg Beatles do an outdoor gig a few years back, they were really good as well. |

Saw 'the bootleg beatles', and 'bjorn again' and they were excellent.
Would much rather watch 'proper' bands but as the originals won't play again it's the next best thing. There's probably too many of them though, off to see Red Light Company in Leeds next month, only £6, can't beat the buzz of watching a new band for the price of a ticket to see a tribute band. By the way saw a Hungarian Beatles tribute group in Magaluf years ago and they were brilliant! One thing I do think is pointless is tribute comedians, can't think of anything worse than a Peter Kay tribute keep saying 'Garlic bread' Get your own personality! |

Saw Bjorn Again when they were supporting the Spice Girls at Wembley in the late nineties!
Also the rubbish acts you have on holiday who are meant to be Elvis! |

Nearly forgot about these, but went to see The Australian Pink Floyd at the Newcastle arena back in 2005. They were great as well
