A tribute album is a collection of songs that pays homage to a specific artist, band, or musical genre. These albums typically feature various musicians covering the original songs, showcasing their interpretations and styles. Tribute albums can celebrate the work of influential artists, commemorate their legacy, or introduce their music to new audiences. Often, tribute albums are released to mark significant anniversaries or events related to the honoree, such as the passing of an artist like David Bowie or the anniversary of a classic album like The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". They serve as a way for fans and fellow musicians to express their admiration and respect.
