In which alternative rock groups cover John Lennon's solo catalog; the classic rock tribute album being a common occurrence in the mid-90's (see also: Two Rooms, Encomium, Common Thread, among many others).

Billboard liked it better than me. I'm more aligned with the AllMusic review: "the album is an incoherent jumble...an unqualified mess." It goes without saying that you should stick with Lennon's originals, but there are a couple of decent covers near the end of the disc.
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: #94
Tracks: My picks are from artists that don't fit the "alternative rock" designation: Cheap Trick's take on Working Class Hero, George Clinton's Mind Games, and the delicate cover of Grow Old With Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter (which may or may not have brought a tear to the eye of your humble blogger - I admit to nothing).
