OH MY GOD YES

Just Daniel singing "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs" would be enough explode my mind.

"Hamburger Concerto" by Transatlantic.  If there were any band today that could do it, it'd be TA.

Conventum's La première pièce covered by Univers Zero
Aksak Maboul's A Modern Lesson covered by Magma
Étron Fou Leloublan's L'amulette et le petit rabbin covered by Débile Menthol

I would like to hear Everything Everything cover some Gentle Giant, particularly Knots.  Marillion with Fish should have covered Intruder or Not One of Us.  Would have liked to hear Renaissance cover Joni Mitchell, Bound for Infinity evokes Mitchell as it is.

I've always wanted a prog rock band to do Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.  Like ELP did with Pictures at an Exhibition.  Except the original Rite of Spring is WAY trippier than the original Pictures (and ELP's actually), so the end product would be absolutely insane.  I'd say I want ELP to do it, but really only if it was during the Pictures era...they lost me after that (other than the single track of Tarkus.
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

Hmmm. My opinion is that ELP could not cover Rite of Spring with success. The only bands that could achieve this prowess would be Art Zoyd or Univers Zero, I think.

Yeah I agree, thats why I was hesitant to say having ELP do it.   But when I heard Mussorgsky's Pictures I never really would've thought they could do it either.  Either way though, theres much better bands than ELP, and bands that could do Rite of Spring better most certainly.

Beat me to it! You have no idea how many times I've thought about that in my head! Willow Farm, Apocalypse in 9/8, and As Sure As Eggs is Eggs would be amazing.

Lady Fantasy (Camel)- Dream Theater (don't ask why, I just like it)
The Count Of Tuscany (Dream Theater) - Queen
Thick As A Brick (Jethro Tull) - Gentle Giant
21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson) - Van der Graaf Generator

I don't think much of Metallica's covers. Especially turgid was "Breadfan".
