What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

There are a lot of good covers of songs out there.

One that springs to mind is Glass Hammers cover of "South side of the Sky".

Any others you can think of that would sound good if they were ever to be done?

I'll set the ball rolling with:

Dream Theater covering John Cage's 4' 33" - It would be the best thing they ever did. ;)

Certainly not the musicians of ProgDay covering I Know What I Like because I've heard it, and I know what I don't like!

Man were they ever drunk on that. You get a crazy Italian or two and and a bunch of loaded proggers....and the atmosphere all conspired and perspired for a lousy song...well said...Echolyn at Prog Day slogged through some amusing Sabbath covers too.

John Galgano at the Rosfest party also performed a regrettable version of side 1 of Misplaced Childhood, then redeemed himself at the Proghouse with the Giant and Genesis songs:iheartyou

I can't tell you what I want to hear but I can tell you my favorite take is Mike Keneally doing "Time Table" off of the Katrina record. And the worst is that horrible ELP tribute record...

Marillion covering a Britney Spears song.

No wait, that's been done.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night

Gonna keep on dancin' to the rock and roll
On Saturday night, Saturday night
Dancin' to the rhythm in our heart and soul
On Saturday Night, Saturday night
I-I-I-I, I just can't wait
I-I-I-I, I got a date

Well a success story and coming soon is the California Guitar Trio doing PF's Echoes - there's a video of it on You Tube........

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

I'd like to see Genisis do the theme from the Monkees. It's right up Phil's alley!

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

Would like to see IQ do Selling England by the pound or maybe Musical Box or maybe suppers ready hell i like to see em do any old Genesis.

I would like to see Genesis try and do some old Genesis(yea that was a dig):knowing:

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

California Guitar Trio does a lot of covers live. They are also supposed to be coming out with a 'covers' album.

Echoes, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Tubular Bells are excellent live.:thumbsup:

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

The Musical Box does do old Genesis and they do it as a reenactment of actual Genesis shows. I've seen TMB do Foxtrot, SEBTP and TLLDOB. All were very good.

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

I've seen CGT live a couple of times. I've seen them cover Heart of the Sunrise and Bohemian Rhapsody -- Very nice arrangements of each too.

I wonder what they do for the 10 mins of space noise in the middle of Echoes.

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

my two favorite CGT moments were "Classical Gas", and the "Good/Bad/Ugly" theme at Jaxx's in VA.

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

I heard Classical Gas too...

Good/Bad/Ugly theme? The Clink Eastwood spaghetti western? It's been years (decades) since I've seen that and don't recall what the theme is.

Re: What songs would you like to see covered by other bands?
 

that's the one - you would recognize it in a heartbeat, sure you've heard it...how can we do this virtually...never mind :???:

remind me to tell you a story about that at Rosfest...

ok here it is - you tube has it all..

The Beatles White Album covered as a Prog Project of various artists. Some titles have been done, but loved to see the whole thing done.
