Friday Random Ten

Pine Box Boys - Prester John in Appalachia
Johnny & the Hurricanes - Sand Storm
Iggy Pop - Neighborhood Threat
Sleater-Kinney - Jumpers
Sister Double Happiness - Two Headed Dog
Shadows - A Place in the Sun
Barry Adamson - Mr. Eddy's Theme #1
Judybats - She Lives (in a Time of Her Own)
Talking Heads - Life During Wartime
Single Bullet Theory - Great Palaces of Immortal Splendor

Two of these (the Judybats and the Sister Double Happiness) are from one of my favorite tribute albums, Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye (Roky Erickson being the tributee). So let's talk tribute albums. What would be your dream tribute album--that is, what tribute album that doesn't exist really should exist? To whom would it pay tribute, and who would be on it?

For me, it's a Thin White Rope tribute. Some of the lineup:

X - Long Climb up to Midnight
Television - Triangle Song
Nick Cave - Valley of the Bones
Dave Alvin - Thing
