Some (not all) of the Frampton and Bee Gees covers are respectable if uninspired. Some of it is so awful I have to zip past it. (Steve Martin's "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," Alice Cooper's 'Because," there are more.)

I know others who open-heartedly love it, and in most cases, they saw it when they were kids, so it has nostalgia going for it. Was this the case with you, CM?
