As far as Floyd, their music doesn't really lend itself to covers. It would just be weird hearing someone else do their music.

Eh? What was that?

You know, it's funny you posted that. I've never heard that cover before, but I would think that if ANYONE could pull off Floyd, it would be Primus.

I got a million of 'em.

Queensryche and Dream Theater doing "Comfortably Numb".

Geoff has one of the best voices in prog rock, hands down. Too bad he let himself go during this time period. He's gotten himself back together since this though.

"Tainted Love" The 80's version is far better than the original blues, if you can find it.

"God Save the Queen" by Black Flag is better than the Sex Pistols too.
