RE: BOYZ II MEN, TLC to Cover L’Arc-en-Ciel Songs on First Tribute Album!

Like I said earlier, I'm not a huge fan of rap... and by "not a huge fan" I mean I feel tortured when I'm forced to listen to it. So let's say in an alternative universe, they announce a tribute album with nothing but rap artists... I'd probably be a little less excited, then. Since I don't rap, why would having rap artists cover L'Arc songs make it any better?
So back to this universe, not everyone here seems to like any of the artists in the album, so naturally I don't see how you can expect them to be anything other than skeptical or downright underwhelmed. Of course, there's always the slim chance that through some sort of magic, the music will reach massive appeal for one reason or the next, but more than likely these artists aren't going to sound any more appealing if you don't already like their preexisting work.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, going back to HYDE's cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I didn't listen to that because I thought "Wow, someone made a cover of that song?! I should listen to it!" I listened to it because I was already a fan of HYDE (as well as The Beatles) and therefore I figured it would sound appealing. If the cover were by, say, Kanye West, then I'd probably give it a pass. It wouldn't matter how much I like The Beatles, I just don't like Kanye West.
