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.

Listen to one of the many Phish live albums. They do an a cappella version of Free Bird and Anastasio imitates the entire solo!

either Metropolis Pt. I - the miracle and the sleeper, or The Glass Prison from DT.

If these media sideshow acts can pull these off I might buy an album.

American idol is a very shallow show and the "Wannabees" suck they all cant' sing even some simple Pop songs. I'd like to see 'em try something real.

I'd either have to second the Sound Chaser choice or suggest one of Opeth's various works. Think anyone would be able to pull off both the growling and regular singling well at all?

Through Her Eyes by Dream Theater could work...

But I don't think any prog would ever make it onto Idol... They prefer to use stuff that's popular.
