I'm having trouble working out some Nick Drake songs...seems easy until you realize he tuned his guitar differently for almost every song. Even worse than Jimmy Page!

The band I was in back in the 80's used to do a verion of YYZ but I
always used to count if off too fast and I remember the looks of death
I'd get from the band as their fingers worked away in a frantic blur of
hyper speed.
Bless them.
If you can't do a song at least 10bpm faster than the original, you shouldn't be playing it!

You haven't really tried your bass skills out till you try YYZ, that song is a bitch on the bass.

I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die.

Trilogy by ELP - I can just about pass it off (minus improv, or at least decent improv!) but only on piano - still getting used to changing patches and using effects on keyboard,
The Sheriff by ELP - in the beginning stages
Mad Man Moon and One for the Vine by Genesis - sound awesome in the bits I can play right, lots of work to be done though.

As kind of a counterpart to the "What are you currently listening to" thread, I thought I'd start one about what songs we are currently trying to learn. Here are mine (I play guitar):
Clap- by Steve Howe off The Yes Album (an awesome acoustic number)
Animate-Rush (off the Counterparts album)
all of "The Wall"-Pink Floyd
