GG would be really tricky to cover with the vocals
 
and the innumberable instruments
 
too distinct of a sound anyway, wouldn't come out that great

The Harry Partch Ensemble.  It's not rock, but the music is physically impossible to perform unless you either somehow acquire his original instruments (already owned by Dean Drummond) or construct your own, which would take on hell of a lot of effort.

Van der Graaf Generator.
 
Seriously, you try singing Peter Hammill.

If it ain't broke don't break it.

Mahavishnu Orchestra. I wouldn't know where to begin with that stuff.

Gentle Giant would be a non starter unless you had a few decent singers in the band.

In this poll sure King Crimson and Meshuggah.

But I prefer to be a singer of Opus Avantra tribute band or Andromeda (UK) tribute band!

Naw, that's easy.  You just put the sound of the audience screaming in agony at your noise through a noise filter, thus creating a sadistic vicious cycle of Merzbowian pain.
