Your Favorite of these Neal Morse-recorded cover songs!
« on: February 11, 2019, 11:58:20 AM »
Pick ten of your favorite covers recorded and released by Neal Morse, from his solo albums (and subsequently through Morse Portnoy George) and Transatlantic. I didn't include his few covers released with Spock's Beard since some of them are fairly obscure, and there were already enough from 2000-onward! Also, I liked how the options are bookended by Moody Blues songs!

I apologize in advance for picking Crazy Horses, but I think it was actually a pretty cool cover.

I remember listening to it at first, and knowing it was an Osmonds cover, but I was blown away by it! I then looked up the original and thought "Wow, they really put their all into this cover to make it sound amazing!", not that the original wasn't cool, but they really breathed some life into it. It's a rocking tune!!!

Here's the ten I picked:
Where The Streets Have No Name
Crazy Horses
Come Sail Away
Starless
MacArthur Park
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
I Need You
And You And I
Indiscipline
Nights In White Satin

Looks like I picked ones that at least one other person liked, except "I Need You', which isn't a tradition and straight cover of just ONE song, but a really cool mash-up of two different songs with the same title, which I thought was really neat! Transatlantic have fun covering Beatles stuff, though their first two albums just had in-studio jam sessions of Beatles tunes, so this was the first time a properly recorded studio-cover was released, and it wasn't just a normal Beatles song, which made it more amazing to me! The rest are just really great covers with some great performances from Neal and their respective players, especially MacArthur Park, which is a stunning arrangement of a song that seems over-long in its original format.

Yeah, in several cases, that was me.  :lol
