What song would you most love to hear DT cover?

Two for me would be Dogs by Pink Floyd and Close To The Edge by Yes.

Kansas would fit them the most, Magnum Opus would slay.


Sycsa is perhaps the most brilliant and insightful man I have ever encountered.

Call me crazy but I'd love to hear them bust out with either Styx's "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" or "Renegade".

This may seem like a very odd choice, but every time I listen to Baker St. Muse by Jethro Tull I always think it sounds like a Dream Theater epic, and I would LOVE to hear them do it.

I really want to hear James LaBrie yodel so "Hocus Pocus" by the legendary Dutch prog rock band Focus would be amazing!
"Ok, these guys are only catering to the hardcore fanbase that already bought the $8000 meet and greet package complete with signed LaBrie eye patch"

Adding either Starship Trooper or South Side of the Sky (Yes).

Nothing, they've done enough covers.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

The only cover I'd really love to hear is Close to the Edge, even though I'd probably then have to read a million posts about whether the ambient section "killed the momentum" of the song  :lol

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth,  Revalation (Mother Earth), or Killer Of Giants by Ozzy Osbourne would both be interesting.
I feel strangely honored to be following up a post from Sir Walrus Cauliflower.

I'd love to see them cover some more Queen like Bohemian Rhapsody in its entirety, The Prophet's Song, Innuendo, Great King Rat and The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke. Almost all are from the early 70's, where Queen was somehow prog. Any of them would be lovely to hear
