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

I just don't think it was the point of this thread. I know het only mentioned prog metal, but I'm pretty sure he wanted somethin that wasn't obvious. DT covering pink floyd is well........obvious. As well as rush.

I mean I dunno, I can't really think of anything else good.  And I don't wanna hear them butcher Sgt. Pepper (not that I mean for that to reflect anything upon DT, I just don't think that's the sort of music they could play well).

How about some KISS? I don't listen to them, but I think Mike's love for the band would be a good stepping-stone to getting the band to cover some of their songs/albums.

This, kind of.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I've heard JP cite Stevie Ray Vaughan as a huge influence on more than one occasion. Some blues would be interesting.

Everyone else in the band would be soooooo bored. I'd hate to see how they butched it by trying to make their instruments more interesting.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze. I think James' soft vocals would do it justice, however I don't think it should be played the same instrumental wise. I'm thinking slower with some piano in it, maybe an epic build up to a soft ending?  

Les Misérables - Bring Him Home. Nothing to change I would just like to hear James' sing it.

"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.

Hang 11 from An Evening With JP and JR is largely based on Take Five, so they've kind of already done that.
It'd be really cool if they did Blue Rondo too sometime in the future, but I doubt it  :-\.

Aerials - System of a Down

or

(insert title) - System of a Down  ;D

Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

I'd love them do do some old Chicago like--------
Make Me Smile/So Much to Say, So Much to Give/Anxiety's Moment/West Virginia Fantasies.
7 minutes of old school epicness.  Imagine the horn sounds from JR?

"Eyes Like Yours" - Shakira

Yesterday I was imagining that if one day I were driving in some US highway and MP were hitchhiking and get into my car I will want him to listen to this song. I think the "intro" to this song will really please him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFZT1trXLpk

Having said that, I would like to listen a cover of DT playing "Ojos así" by Shakira.
