The Music Monster that is Pink Floyd covered by heavy metal bands? Now there's a great idea for a show. 'The Nile Song', from Pink Floyd's 'Soundtrack from the Film More' (has anyone actually seen that movie?), is probably the heaviest Floyd song recorded, and lends itself to being covered by a heavy metal band. And both Floyd and Heavy Metal are steeped in psychedelia, even if they went off in different directions.
Regardless of similarities, Pink Floyd have a towering repertoire of songs that can stand the test of various covers, and there's no shortage of great bands out there who have risen to the challenge.
A great place to start is a compilation entitled 'Like Black Holes In The Sky: A Tribute to Syd Barrett' featuring great artists covering Syd Barratt and Pink Floyd tracks. A number of which appeared on my show and on this list. Enjoy!
Most of the clips feature just the music, only one or two feature any video to speak of. But, hey, the music, right?
