The Flaming Lips are one of the most creative bands of our generation, so it doesn’t surprise me that they would have the balls to cover Pink Floyd’s classic album, Dark Side of the Moon. The band recruited Peaches and Henry Rollins for some featured guest vocal help, and released it digitally today!
I want to share with you their cover of “Money”. The Flaming Lips are able to make the song even weirder with voice effects that give the song a robotic futuristic feeling. Henry Rollins adds some guest vocals to it!
I think fans of Pink Floyd will appreciate the cover, because The Flaming Lips are talented enough to figure out how to cater to them. The entire Dark Side Of The Moon Cover album is released today, exclusively to itunes! Purchase it right here!

I really like this album, but it was pointed out to me that when a band covers an entire album you start to notice how mechanical their style can be. It gave me a lot to think about. I personally really like their version of Money. I think if Pink Floyd had recorded the album today instead of years ago, they would have used all the technology they could. Including the use of vocoders.
the Flaming Lips should stick to the Flaming Lips. It is definitely ok to leave Pink floyd alone. I love the lips and I love my Floyd but I wouldn’t want to hear Floyd covering the Lips. However it was an interesting listen at first.
sounds absolutely rubbish, floyd is about mood and ambience not this muck
FAIL
ouch. epic fail. i think my ears are bleeding after listening to this travesty.
