Why are DJs considered very hip in some circles, yet cover bands are almost universally considered uncool?

No way. Cover bands are all the rage now. Especially cover bands that mix up one band with another, like Beatallica (Beatles and Metallica).

Err, oh yeah! But I was really talking about bands that do a whole lot of different bands, not tribute bands.

For a while there, clubs on the Sunset Strip like The Whisky would have cover bands on a Saturday night! WTF?!

no way - cover bands rule! especially ones like ants invasion and vital idol! or maybe i'm just a geek.

I should have clarified--I meant bands that cover lots of different groups, not tribute bands that cover one act.

I like coverbands :P

DJs do the scratching and whatnot, so they are fabricating a new sound from an old one, while cover bands are trying to just recreate an old sound, is my understanding.

Right, but I meant DJs at club nights or whatever, not rap-style DJs. I worship at the altar of Terminator X. :)

This is much better than the other question you were pondering over last night.
