My choice will be Vandrigar I Vilsenhet by Anglagard, in perfect Swedish. (Those kids hardly speak good English).

The prog songs that best fit the style of what they usually are 'Lucky Man' by ELP and 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' by Pink Floyd. I would like to hear them try something like 'Happiest Days of Our Lives' or any late 70's Floyd stuff with Roger Waters's whiney voice.

I wanna see 'em do 'The Battle of Epping Forest' with ALL of Peter's voices!

Or anything 'high' on the scale from Geddy Lee or Jon Anderson.

How about VDGG's "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers"?

'I'm still waiting for my saviour...'

Could they handle the Hammill intensity?

I'd like to see them do Yes's "Release, Release" from Tormato.  Its Jon Anderson, so it might as well be a foreign language.. and the vocal timing on that song is so impressive that if one of those kids could pick it up quickly, I'd be impressed!

Perhaps PF's "Great Gig in the Sky", atleast they wouldn't have to memorize the words...

There's probably a time limit on their songs, so most prog songs would be out of the running anyway...

make one of 'em imitate all instruments and vocals in a Gentle Giant album...their vocal chords would rip and their throat explode.

(i'm one of the only people in my grade who doesn't watch that show and worship it by the way...I guess I'm just not cool...)

Yeaaahhhh Baaayyyy Baaaayyy!

Something like "Trollertanz (Ghost Dance) or "Trollertanz(Zombies)" from Udu Wudu would be PERFECT! The look on Simon's face would be PRICELESS!

Also:

"Incipit Tragedia" by Shubb Niggurath (spooooooooky!)

"Lemmings" by VDGG or "The Black Room" (a Hammill solo piece).

""Wound" by Deus Ex Machina"

It would be funny to see some of this untalented wreckage try some Gentle Giant madrigals or some of Thijs van Leer's vocalisations from early Focus Compositions. They would be utterly confused. Unfortunately I've seen bits and pieces of this waste of time and it just makes me want to vomit Exorcist vomit!
