I was on the YouTubes trying to get help with bashing out 'Summer '68' when I stumbled upon this...
That is, quite simply, the most amazing Pink Floyd cover I've ever heard. The girl's technical skill is, of course, amazing (far beyond the great Wright himself, of course, as Rick was not a technical musician and would be the first to admit it), but what I appreciate most is her attention to detail. She really captures the spirit of the song while at the same time making it her own.
This is also very good:
Whew.... that's enough for one day I think. She's got some other Pink Floyd covers which I haven't checked out yet, but I shall soon.
Whilst I'm here, I have also found this:
It's very spot-on -- the drummer even plays the same fills as Nick, which is kind of cool. I think I still prefer the piano covers above, because as I said, she captured the spirit of the song without simply copying it.

Teeheehee. Erm, also, mind the volume you listen to it at. You'll thank me.

Vika Yermolyeva (vkgoeswild) is a really good musician.

It's been a long day and I'm drawing a blank, so I'll do the only thing that currently comes to mind. This is actually two covers in one video. This is from Class of '99, a short-lived supergroup from 1998 that featured members of Alice in Chains, Rage Against The Machine, Jane's Addiction, and Porno For Pyros.
The first one is an instrumental cover of Another Brick In The Wall (Part I). The second one is a vocal cover of Another Brick In The Wall (Part II).

This channel has some reeeeeeallly amazing covers, with a focus on drums. He's even gotten a shout-out from Nick Mason Himself.
All the Pink ones here. My favourite has to be this one:

This one is really cool. The instrument works extremely well with the haunted sound of the song.

For one of the things commemorating the anniversary, my local radio station just linked to this YouTube video of 8bit covers of the entire Dark Side album. It's interesting. On The Run sounds pretty much the same.

Doom metal cover of Sysyphus 1 and Narrow Way 2. It was inevitable, really.

Those are cool, necko ! 'Breathe' cracked me up. The animations are cute, too.
I also enjoyed doom metal Ummagumma.
Dream Theater covered the entire Dark Side of the Moon album in concert:
(Literally the only way I can tell it's not the original is the singing and occasional audience noises. It's so faithful it almost hurts.)

Just found a mandolin orchestra (didn't know that was a thing) cover of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'. It's gorgeous.
