October 2011 finds @MOJOmagazine once again at my least favorite covermount game: an iconic album covered by a variety of little-known artists. In this case, it's two albums: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here both covered on a single CD. There is some good material here, but then there are the also-rans—it's hard to enjoy a version of the cutting, jaded "Money" when the singer sounds like a schoolboy (courtesy of group The Pineapple Thief). As with all such MOJO discs, you have to sift out the dross. Just inched out from this week's glory is Doug Paisley featuring Garth & Maud Hudson and their version of Dark Side's "Us and Them." I give the trophy instead to Connecticut singer-songwriter Lia Ices for her version of Wish You Were Here's title track. The latter album is a bonus for US buyers; in the UK, this issue was accompanied not by a compact disc but by a vinyl album featuring only the Dark Side covers.
You know who you are.
