Comfortably Numb
You got to give a band credit for turning a rather beautiful ballad into a balls-out disco rock tune. It took guts. And I totally commend the Scissor Sisters for their unique creation... besides the fact that I adore the band! Anyone who says they don't like this cover just doesn't want to give it a chance.

Comments about Comfortably Numb:
I love the way tha the sisters say relax like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and how they do an AH ah ah ah in the finest Bee Gees tradition. What a great, "up yours" (to stuck in the muds) and caustic interpretation of the soul touching floyd version. Where floyd is humanitarian, sisters are icy and (dare i say it) gay! Long live Lsd and Extasy dysfunction.

AS a Pink Floyd fan I didn't even know the Scissor Sisters did this song. I guess I should do more Googling, now that UTorrent has gone ass-up! I'm from the 80's generation, (is that X, Y or Z???) I didn't do LSD but I know the Floyd, (or part of), did. I think Extasy is the modern version of LSD, and Pink Floyd's base beat comes close to the human heart beat, a comfort zone for the Eccy Head. I really don't like to admit that I like both versions for their own merit.

Ten years from now people will still be listening to the Pink Floyd original; I doubt there will be that many people that will even remember the Scissor Sisters cover.

How is this even a contest? Ten years from now, I want to remind all of you that voted for SS that you actually liked them back in 2008. Your embarrassment will kill you. Ugh

This cover can be catchy after a few times. I hate to admit it, really. I can actually enjoy "some" disco if the mood strikes me. And the familiar words of a song by a hero and legend can be comforting. But is this cover better then the original? By far, absolutely not. It's just better for dancing. Who ever can't appreciate the original for it's rhythm and harmony, does not feel music, they only hear "beats".

Pink Floyd wrote the song. Pink Floyd plays the song best. There is a sort of warm feeling you get when you listen to this song that NO OTHER song lends. The Scissor Sisters don't have the ability to replicate that. And to change the mood of the song into a disco tune is just blasphemy.

well, people who consider sisters to be better than floyds, probably do not know what music is about... pink floyd is the best band i´ve ever heard. nobody can ever create music like they did and nobody can treat the guitar like dave does
