Soft Machine and King Crimson covers

I'm looking for second opinions:

What is the most covered tune, originally played by Soft Machine?

What is the most covered tune, originally played by King Crimson?

As both bands have so many live albums released nowadays, originally recorded many years ago (with live versions of studio recordings), that the cover has to be by bands not called respectively Soft Machine or King Crimson!

A version of Soft Machine's 'Backwards' was included as part of 'A Hunting We Shall Go', Caravan's amazing suite that closes their 'For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night' album.

Regards. 

Dick,

If I recall correctly, one of the PFM live albums has a cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man. Do live albums count?

Have you heard Lana Lane's cover of In The Court Of The Crimson King? She is the (self-styled?) queen of Prog Rock. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. Now I don't want to sound offensive, as she has a very nice voice which reminds me a little of Karen Carpenter. Whilst I like her voice, I don't feel it's suited to some of the rock songs she sings. I'll leave it at that.

No - amazingly Owner of a Lonely Heart is out there somewhere!! I think FZ Meets the Mothers Of Prevention - the internet isn't being that helpful at the moment.

Dick Heath said: "...I played one of her tracks - the only track ever we faded out early because it was so bad...".

You should hear her singing Led Zep's Kashmir then.  

I've found it!

Even the oft-damned "Owner of a Lonely Heart" isn't bad (come on, that's a catchy bass line - hell, if Zappa liked it enough to incorporate it into "Bamboozled By Love", who are we to argue? ;-)

The song is on "Tinsel Town Rebellion"

HI, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.

One fine Spetember night of 1997, in Lima, right before my eyes (well, I was standing on the 15th row), ELP made a cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man. Actually they performed the fist two verses, until they segued it into America.

They hadn't done that since their very first tour!! I felt so frantic about it that I ended up with my voice all gone - I had been singing along and humming (and cheering Emerson's funny pyrotechnics) for more than 100 minutes, and since Schizoid Man is so demanding vocally, well...

But Lake did an Epitaph cover as a coda to Battlefield. Later on, on his first solo tour during 1981, Lake formed a half-hard rock half-AOR band (Gary Moore on lead guitar), which covered Schizoid Man and Crimson King. It's been immortalized on a King Biscuit Flower Hour recording.

Regards.
