Hard to say. It's not apples and oranges. A) I wouldn't be reviewing Hendrix's debut, but B) if I was it would be more about his guitar expertise than his songwriting to be honest, so in all likelihood even an album of all covers would be okay. Lemonheads I don't know, but I think if I knew the cover I might be more interested to see how they handled it. The point about Yes is I knew neither of those songs, so I couldn't even say oh they did a good/crap job with it. If I praised the song, I wasn't really praising them, just the way they covered the songs. And as you know, in prog it's all about dem lyrics.
