Never covered them but I've played Money at jams. Live at Pompeii is magnificent.
They're a hard band to cover because they already sound so great. Someone like Dylan's much easier to cover because the strength of the music is in the writing rather than the playing and production.
As a matter of curiosity, what got you thinking about Floyd?
These guys did a good job changing it up a bit, plus it probably got all music banned from Iran.. Another brick in the wall...(Hey Ayatollah)

Nice covers but the challenge is to make a cover original, as when The Byrds covered Tambourine Man and started a new genre, folk rock.
If Comfortably Numb could be read as an indictment of the music industry and its spoon feeding mindless music to the huddle mass, clubbing them to death and laying them on the dirty boulevard, esp the Bee Gees, then this is an interesting cover because its a Bee Gees laced version that celebrates drug use in club life.

I may have spent too much time listening to countertenors. There was a point where I was really into early church music.
You think this is disturbing. There is a recording called The Last Castrato that came out on cd in the early 1990s. There was also a movie. It is a recording of the last known castrato that was recorded in the early 20th century when he was in his 60s. It only took me about 2 seconds to be forever scared after listening to that.
