I saw a Pink Floyd tribute band last winter. They sounded fantastic, just like the records. The guitarist was middle aged and had a huge beer belly, so we instantly named him Fat Floyd ;D

Yes but they also de a disservice to the fans who have seen the real acts. Middle aged guy with wigs on the porky side playing Beatles tunes is nothing more then riding the coattails if the band.
