It looks like spam to me.

I think it's a cover band. It seems these guys made a cover of Lucille...

Plus they are referenced by United Mutations: http://www.united-mutations.com/t/os_travalhadores_do_comerco.htm

So what? My postman was whistling a Zappa tune the other morning should I set up a page for him? As time goes on all the real Zappa stuff is going to be swamped by all this "tribute" stuff - it is already cluttering and distorting the discography. Surely a Zappa Wiki should be about Zappa. If we must have all this tribute stuff it should be separated out from the mainstream Zappa stuff.

Hi Duncan,

I am sorry, but I read you post 10 times and I still do not really get the point.

Of course we should not write down articles about irrelevant stuff.

But are you really unhappy with the Category:Tributes & Cover Albums?

In which way is it exactly distorting the discography? The Category:Discography is not even affected...

Don't you like covers? I do not understand.

Emdebe, what do you think?

For example Peaches En Regalia already has more tribute and cover albums listed than Zappa albums. If I am looking for something on a Zappa Wiki I expect to find information about Zappa. Is this other stuff (good, bad or indifferent) relevant? As time goes on there will be more cover versions and all the original Zappa material will be buried beneath it.

It's an old discussion, and as usual, everybody's right...
I once suggested to split everything:

  • a Zappa Wiki
  • a Zappa Bootleg Wiki
  • a Zappa Tributes Wiki

Just an idea... but not one that many liked... ;-)
If the discussion continues, move it to the Forum...
