The final part of Learning to live would be far a greater laugh!

Or "Losing Time - The Grand Finale" especially the end :).

Cogs in Cogs by Gentle Giant. Deceptively difficult vocal song, what with the unusual syncopation and all.

Montana by Frank Zappa. Give the backup singers a relative challenge, for once!

Either Machine Messiah, Close to the Edge (Even just Total Mass Retain), We Have Heaven, or Parallels by Yes. All very lovely vocal workouts.

Not prog, but anything by Kate Bush for the lady contestants, or maybe some Art Bears, Henry Cow or Thinking Plague.

As already said: A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers

"One more haggered drowned man..."

Pretty much anything by VdGG and Peter Hammill (except Theme One of course).

Even some '80s hair-rock, like AC/DC.

Oh and one more, on the opposite end of the scale, something like "R U Still In 2 It" by Mogwai.

OK, I'm probably going to get blasted for this...

But have any of you actually heard Constantine Maroulis' (from last season) full recorded version of Bohemian Rhapsody? I personally think he did it justice.

Ouch with the Adrian Belew comment!

I'd have to second either the Residents, any Zappa, and "Carry Stress in the Jaw" by Bungle. Any of those would be high on the comical scale to watch an American Idol contestant struggle through. "Knots" would be a trainwreck, too, thus funny.

This isn't prog, but I'd like to see them do Ernie's bathtub song (something about a rubber ducky?) or the Sesame Street song that counts up to 12.

Either that, or Deep Purple's "Child in Time." (C'mon, hit those high notes
now!)


Of course, all the drunk guys in the audience just want to hear "Free Bird."

I'd like to see Dae Pecuniae by Pain of Salvation.

Simon could play the spoken part of the asshole at the wheel.

Knots from GG seems perfect to me. I would like to see somebody attempt to sing this song on his own. 

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Bloody Well Right maybe, or The Logical Song

Or Dreamer, I'd love to see somebody do that!

No wait, I want to hear one of 'em sing Zappa's Stick It Out from Joes's Garage - with both German and English translation. Maybe follow it up with Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?
