    Someone told me some pop band has covered Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb! Where's the logic behind this, I know its a great song, but who in their right mind would hear it and think it had chart potential!?!?!?!?Plus its an insult to all Floyd fans!
    ALso Abandon by Deep Purple, anyone else think it is amazing!

    it's not too bad in a disco kind of way. certainly a 'different' perspective anyway although not a 'classic'. quite a few floyd songs have been covered by other bands, the most obvious are the covers of wish you were here by one of the fugee's (i think) and easy star all stars 'dub side of the moon'. funniest would have to be the bluegrass versions on pickin' on pink floyd.

    cheers

    It's by a band called 'Scissor Sisters' - click here

    It causes great publicity and will provide a guranteed hit single... not too shabby for a band nobody had heard of until the cover was released.

    I heard this song on radio 1, IMO its a load of rubbish. Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb was a great song IMO, but this is irritating.
