not one song, but a whole album.. Dub Side of the Moon by the Easy All Stars.. tribute to Floyd's Dark side of the moon...

great disk.

Also, Les Claypool's flying Frog Brigades tribute to Floyds 'Animals' is better than the original IMO..

Thumbs up

Even Dylan thought that Hendrix nailed "Watchtower".

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Thats because Dylan is/was a great peot/songwriter,
but a hack as a performer!!!

Just the opposite,
Frank Sinatra was the most successful performer of the last 100 years, but I don't think he wrote 1 song or played 1 instrument

Never wrote a hit song or could decide what key to sing in. Old Blue Eyes was a real curiosity. I like his stuff, but what made him a star?

A voice like that is the consummate instrument. Frank ruled in the 40's-60's

I think he's actually a pretty good rythmn guitarist and at times has had great backing bands, most of the key parts of the Band being one of them.

Definitely an unreliable performer though, I've seen both incredible shows as well as boring, incoherent ones...

I prefer Derek and the Dominoes' version of Little Wing to Hendrix's.

Sinatra's genius was in phrasing, articulation and clarity of tone. He was to the human voice what Doc Severinsen is to the trumpet. Who I never really "got" was Dean Martin

Foo Fighters covering Floyds "Have a Cigar" gets my vote, soooooo good. Grohl rocks!!!

Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

Another good cover album is "Deadicated" with various artists doing different GD songs -- Suzanne Vega-Cassidy, Burning Spear-Prophet, Elvis Costello- Ship of Fools are some

I dont know, I like the Dub Side, especially Us & Them

I'm reluctant to admit I own Dub side of the moon because every song is lame with th exception of time.Please don't blaspheme Animals that way.Learn about Blue Floyd,you'll be glad you did.

Anthrax does a version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath from the import Attack of the Killer Bs.

A ton of good stuff by Metallica on Garage Inc.Way to much to list here.

Pantera does a Sabbath tune also.Planet Caravan on the Far Beyond Driven CD.

Didn't they also cover Laguna Sunrise and, if I'm not mistaken, they did a version of N.I.B. that has Ozzy on the Vocals

I know the newer version of NIB is done by Primus with Ozzy on vocals.I can't recall Laguna Sunrise being done by Pantera but I have some fairly obscure Pantera recordings that could very well have it.

The gourds version of "Gin and Juice" Much better than Snoop Doggs version, IMO.
