Just for fun, what pop or rock song would you like have remade by a Prog group and by what particular group?

U2's heroin epic redone by Karnivool. Or anyone else. 

Karnivool could do it really well i think.

Any dumb song redone by ... doesn't matter. Take "With Arms Wide Open" or "How You Remind Me" ... redone by Renaissance! ... Or Peter Hammill. S$%t, they would breathe life into those, put some far more interesting chords and melodies in them.

^ Can't take a joke, huh? It's just a frivolous thought. And didn't you read the rest of the post?

Don't think about them as songs. Think of them as sacks of ideas. Some of these ideas don't work, so you throw them away and replace them with your own. Those that aren't really bad, you change them to your own liking. Of course, as a result you may get an entirely different song, but that's a whole another topic.

Madonna - Like A Prayer to be covered by Porcupine Tree.

Bohemian Rapsody to be covered by Muse ( although it would sound exactly the sameSmile)

A whole load of punk to be covered by The Mars Volta

Give the song to Billy Ritchie - no-one before during or after prog was ever better at transforming a song into something radically different yet always (as Bowie himself said) retaining the heart and soul of the song.
