Let's think outside the box on this one...

[hefdaddy42]

...and tell me what songs you would like DT to cover (whether live or for a future bonus disc or something).  Please don't list any songs by other prog metal bands - let's use our imagination and think of something interesting that they could do well with.

My pick is "Jessica" by The Allman Brothers Band.

[ariich]

Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche.

[The Letter M]

"Take Five" and "Blue Rondo A La Turk" by Dave Brubeck Quartet

Anything by Bela Fleck & The Flecktones.

Also, my obvious prog choices would be Yes' Drama, Genesis' Wind & Wuthering, and Rush's Signals.

-Marc.

[ariich]

Yeah my serious answer was going to be some fairly laid back jazz like Dave Brubeck. Some of his tunes are so great to jam over, DT would have a field day.

Exactly, and being that "Take Five" was originally constructed as a showcase for the drummer, I'm sure MP would enjoy cover that "solo", much in the way I'm sure he enjoyed doing the drum solo on the Santana cover during the sessions for TA's The Whirlwind

-Marc.

[Adami]

Santa Clause is coming to town.

[Adami]

Space Dye Vest.

[Perpetual Change]

I still would like to hear The Yes Album in it's entirety.

[Darkes7]

What about some classic German thrash metal, like Kreator? They've done Metallica, but that would be a different challenge entirely, as it's a different style and I'd love to see how they would handle it.

I think he, at least implied, that metal in most forms was "inside" the box.

[Darkes7]

He only mentioned prog metal, which I guess means most prog in general. What I said is, even if metal, definitely outside of the box for DT.

[Jamesman42]

Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin

[Darkes7]

Btw, Depeche Mode is another thing that just came to my mind.

ok.

[Adami]

Some Skynyrd would be pretty interesting.

[Setlist Scotty]

Some Skynyrd would be pretty interesting.

Oh please no - besides they already did part of Freebird on OiaL - that's enough!   

Off the top of my head, I'd pick Love to Love from UFO tho there are many others that I can't recall at the moment.

[LCArenas]

I've always thought what would happen if they cover Judas Priest's "Victim of Changes" or "Blood Red Skies"

I was actually going to add in "but not just throwing in the end of freebird"

But some Simple Man or something would be pretty neat.

[black_biff_stadler]

Some energetic big band era stuff would be cool.

[Perpetual Change]

Some energetic big band era stuff would be cool.

It would be cool to hear Dream Theater cover the Fallout 3 soundtrack

[LudwigVan]

"Stardust" by Hoagy Carmichael

[wolfking]

Either some Threshold or Sieges Even

[Quadrochosis]

It would be cool for them to play some XBox 360.. on stage.

No, I'm not serious.

JR probably isn't too far off from that.

[Darkes7]

And knowing him, after the initial WTF reaction it would actually turn out to work well with the music...

...maybe.

God of War would disagree with you.

[Rafael Guerra]

Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode...I am really curious to know what JR could do in here.
Vicarious by Tool...I am really curious to know what JP could do in here.

I don't see the point of using Raw Dog as a negative argument for anything since it's not even considered by the band to be a full, 100% strong and polished DT song.

[ZBomber]

They've already covered both, but anything by Queen and Elton John. Specifically, "It's Late", "March of the Black Queen", "Tonight" and "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"

It was a joke dude, lol.

[ehra]

Damn Yankees - Come Again (or Piledriver for JLB shenanigans).

Wolfmother - White Feather

Boston - Smokin

[Super Dude]

Have they done The Wall or was it just Comfortably Numb?  'Cause I'd love to hear them do the whole album.  Or 2112?

That's not really outside the box. Unless this thread has turned into...either saying any song you want DT to cover, or naming funny songs you think DT should cover.

[Super Dude]

Other posters have mentioned bands that were prog but not necessarily prog metal, so I figured that was legit.
