For me, I would prefer that Dream Theater cover songs that are not "untouchable" classics that a lot of fans already find perfect, but rather great songs that they would have room to work on to make their own. In which case, I would like Dream Theater to cover these songs:
Tentative album title: The Majestic
Al Di Meola - Egyptian Danza (instrumental intro)
Rush - Bastille Day (in recognition of the band's history with the song, that is, the inspiration for the Majesty name)
U.K. - Caesars Palace Blues (this is Mangini's spot to honor Bozzio)
Metallica - Blackened (maybe we can finally hear some bass guitar in this song
)
Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Hoedown (instrumental break)
Queen - Now I'm Here (arranged to showcase James LaBrie's soaring vocals at the start, ala Afterlife in MullMuzzler 2)
King Crimson - Frame by Frame (I would love to hear Dream Theater nail this!)
Iron Maiden - The Trooper (I am sure they would make the harmonies glorious)
Yes - Yours is No Disgrace (the "epic" closer)
I so love this playlist, I
did an actual playlist on Youtube.
