I read a write up of an interview with Nick Mason recently (BTW talk about $$$!) and he made some comments about Floyd covers. The one's he likes most are where someone has taken one of their songs and done something different with it. I tend to agree. If you simply try to slavishly copy the original you're generally on a hiding to nothing (though some of the Dream Theatre covers are damm impressive). You need to find a new angle. (His opinion of an old bloke with a wobble-board is not recorded.)
I heard somewhere that the most covered song (and how would anyone really know) is the the Beatles' Blackbird. That would have to be a good guess as I've lost count of how many jazz versions of that I've heard. It really is a standard.
