A human being is a part of a whole_universe_a part limited in time and space He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty

Dream Theater does a lot of Pink Floyd covers, some of them hit and miss. However, I like Dream Theater a lot!!
*EDIT*
I remember now why it is LB's remake didn't so so hot. It's a great song accept for that minute and a half or so of L - I - M - P in the middle. Ugh.

I think its very interesting to see not just the musical permutations, but also the permutations of the imagery in the video.
All 3 videos bring out 3 different aspects of the song, which doesn't change *overly* much between the three singers.
The lesser known original 1964 version of Tainted Love by Gloria Jones:
As made famous by Soft Cell in 1981:
I really like the Marilyn Manson cover:
Good show! I also love the Marilyn Manson version. Its interesting to see which is better the original or the revised version.

I must admit, I'm very impressed with the Genesis version of Land of Confusion and specifically the imagery in the music video.
Then I moved to Disturbed's actual music video, of which I am also impressed. The doors to congress opening and the flood of angry citizens that enter, followed shortly after by the removal of the power figure and the rain of money, are phenomenal scenes.
Its a lot of fun for me to see the music videos of songs I've listened to hundreds of times and to see the imagery the artists associate with their lyrics as compared to the imagery I get when I hear the song.
Actual music video to Disturbed's Land of Confusion:

A masterpiece:

A remake of a masterpiece:

I must admit, it was a while before I found myself liking Korn's cover.
Another classic song originally by Leadbelly. There were numerous covers so I picked a few.
Leadbelly...Long time ago
YouTube - leadbelly - house of the rising sun
Animals...1964
YouTube - Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun
Pink Floyd...1970s

Its funny how everyone thinks that the animals are the originators of the song.
