Prog covers

I enjoy excellent covers of prog classics by tribute bands (Canada's Musical Box is a great example), and this version of CTTE was shared on a FB prog site.

In Cleveland OH we have a band called ProgNation that does spot on covers of the best of ELP, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Moody Blues and more. Two main driving forces behind the band, bassist Tony Cuda and his brother Chris on guitar, also have an original all-instrumental prog group called CuDaKriShaCuDa that's opened for the likes of Adrian Below, Project Object, the aforementioned Brand X, Stick Men, Carl Palmer and many others. They also have an original jazz fusion group called Tony Cuda's Jazz Cats. Check em out on YouTube or Facebook.

Just in to the vocal section now. Very cool so far!

Thnaks for the link. Quite interesting I must say.

First contribution : not a perfect cover by any stretch of the imagination, also not always technically on point, but man, seeing these kids paying hommage to Magma surely is fun. These are students from the Conservatoire de Niort (France), playing / interpreting MDK (2013).

I think of all covers, Rachel Flowers is my favorite.

I was going to post that Magenta  cover of Yes. I also like the way they do it.

Some excellent, strictly covers bands out there. Los Endos and The Musical Box cover classic Genesis superbly, and Noddy's Puncture do a great job with ELP as well (including a proper antique Moog!) I remember a Yes tribute called Fragile who used to do an excellent, slowed down version of Owner of a Lonely Heart. Not sure if they are still going. Cold Flame were a strong Jethro Tull tribute act and the U.K. Version of Prognosis covered classic prog out and new a few years ago (including Porcupine Tree) and even had the great Tim Esau of IQ helping out for a while. Lots are out there doing a great job in keeping the prog flame alive! Check many of them out on YouTube!

(Did she REALLY thank Marti Pellow at the end? ) I agree!  Many prog bands like Yes missed out by trying to replace Jon Anderson with another contra-tenor voiced male (Benoit David and Jon Davison).  I always thought Yes music was very well suited to a more feminine style of vocals -
