Just for sheiks and giggles, I grabbed some random, mid to late 60's, Psychedelic/Pop tunes that were hits of varying degree. I purposely left off some of the better known songs from that era by the Beatles or Rolling stones or the Doors to make it a little tougher.

If you could pick one of these to be redone by a prog band which would it be, and as a bonus question, which prog band would you like to see redo it?

A remake of "Last Train To Clarksville"... I think the bands to do it would be Pond or The Legendary Pink Dots.

I've been running different versions of these tunes by different bands over in my head and I think I'll have to go with -

Happy Together done by ELP.

I can hear a Fanfaresque version with lots of drum fills and a mean Hammond sound balanced by Gregies smooth vocals.

I think the two with the most potential are Happy Together and Gimme Some Lovin'.  I voted for the latter.

I want to hear "Spinning Wheel" as David Bowie might have for Pin Ups. Not strictly Prog.

Last Train to Clarksville seems fit for a psych remake. Gimme Some Lovin' is my second choice.

I can kind of see Porcupine Tree doing a harder version of Insence and Pepermint

Dizzy by Tommy Roe. Gotta' love that it popped up on this poll. Was a fave of mine when I was just a squirt in Chicago just after the Summer of Love. Bubble Gum in its purest form.

Some fun stuff here.  I might like to see one of The Partridges' "I Think I Love You" too. The song already goes through a couple of interesting turnarounds. It would be nice to give them a more prog treatment.

I can imagine Happy Together with some badass 10-minute Hammond solo, so it gets my vote Big smile

I can imagine Yes doing "Last Train to Clarksville" (in their own way of course).

One of my favorite (should be prog-related) groups is a relatively obscure band called dada. They did a fantastic job of trippifying "Last Train to Clarksville" when I saw them a year ago.

I wish to hear a contemporary prog version / cover of Spinning Wheel  by Blood, Sweat & Tears,  although that song is already prog, especially if we know that it's a song from 1968; it's actually a fantastic early, sixites' prog song without a question.

The one I know, which is Happy Together (and which I really love). However, no vote from me.

I'd like to hear Acid Mother's Temple take this one. Nuke
