They could maybe do it - I just don't think they are the right type of band to carry it off.
My avatar is the cover of the Marillion single "Assassing".

Actually, DT = Dream Theater, so the idea will probably come up sooner or later. :)

I think they could cover Nursery Cryme. There are some heavier numbers
(Musical Box, Hogweed) on that one and it would be intresting to
see/hear DT:s version on them.
Allthough it is a bit hard to imagine LaBrie singing Harold The Barrel.

Before they started their Pink Floyd cover thet biuldt up the tension
by playing several intro's from "classic" rock albums, 2112 was one of
them. I think they are more likely to cover that one then anything by
Genesis.

They also played the opening sample from 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway', so who knows?

Have you heard their cover of 'Dark Side of the Moon'? They remain very
faithful to the original version without going over the top, in fact
they did it just about note for note correctly; though for some reason
the intro to Money was played on guitar.
As far as the original question, I'd imagine they'd do either 'Foxtrot'
or 'The Lamb'; though I'd wish for Selling England if only to hear
their take on 'The Cinema Show' and 'Firth of Fifth'. One could only dream.

As a matter of fact, I think DT are a great cover band.... the problem arises when they play their own material!  The covers on "A Change of Season", in my humble opinion, are the best thing on the album, especially "Perfect Strangers". As to their covering Genesis, I agree with those who say SEBTP is not suited to their style at all. I voted for "A Trick of the Tail", which to my mind strikes the right balance between rockier and mellower tracks.

Why have three people vote that they would never cover Genesis, they already have coverd Turn It On Again on A Change Of Seasons, part of The Big Medley, and that song proves that there is nothing that they wouldnt cover, and do it well.

I'm afraid you're right
EDIT: Well, no. I think they'd nail "Calling All Stations" quite well (and it's quite a good album IMO)

Sorry guys but I wouldn't like to see Dream Theater cover any Genesis albums.
If Portnoy was serious about doing a Genesis album in full then I suggest he re-form Transatlantic and have a go at Foxtrot.
