Waters’ duet of “Comfortably Numb” with Van Morrison has lived on in popular culture, even as memories of the Cold War have faded. While these songs are not covers - Waters played them with and alongside his fellow artists - one of the tracks deserves an honorable mention. It was eventually released as a live album and video. The performers included the Scorpions, Joni Mitchell, Cyndi Lauper, Sinéad O’Connor, Thomas Dolby, Bryan Adams, The Band and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra. The show was Waters’ way of making good on a promise to only play the album live again if the Berlin Wall came down.

#Pink floyd the wall album cover art lyrics update
Update 5/31: Hear editor-in-chief Ray Padgett discuss this list and play an exclusive “Wish You Were Here” covers medley on SiriusXM Volume: So strap in, and set the controls for the heart of the cover… Others, if you can believe it, extend the songs further. Some turn them into tight four-minute pop songs. Twenty-minute tracks that might seem intimidating to some don’t phase these artists. Though the latter would certainly appreciate the walls being torn down. One cover even includes a “featuring Tupac Shakur” credit, which is probably not what Gilmour or Waters envisioned. Psychedelic rock is represented here, of course, but so is bluegrass, soul, and disco. A band that, for better or worse, can get pigeonholed into a specific sound and era, gets transformed into a whole host of other genres and moods. Luckily, the covers community has obliged, allowing us a list as discursive as Pink Floyd itself. A band whose default length was set at “epic” deserves a list just as winding. This feels appropriate Pink Floyd’s songs tend to be a whole lot longer than Talking Heads’ or Fleetwood Mac’s. Coming in at 40 tracks, our third ‘Best Ever’ countdown is our longest yet.
