Dream Theater covered The Dark Side of The Moon, and is great.

Canadian rockers April Wine did a suprisingly good cover of 21st Century Schizoid Man on their 1978 album " Harder Faster " which even got airplay on FM radio. I`ve got a double CD from a little known American band, Controlled Bleeding, who do a killer version of The Talking Drum. Fripp would approve.
Also saw a band called Mahavishnu down in NYC that played nothing but Mahavishnu Orchestra pieces and did an awesome show which included Noonward Race, Dance of Maya and other tricky stuff from Birds of Fire and The Inner Mounting Flame. I was told that McLaughlin himself gave the band his stamp of approval.

Mostly Autumn did a whole show of Floyd covers, half of which were horrid, the other half being brilliant, if not better than the originals.

There are several covers of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor

In Spain, Medina Azahara covered "El lago" by Triana. Besides, Senogul's covered several Classics

http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=10740

I haven't heard the covers, but the other CD by Senogul is really nice

I heard PF's "Cymbaline" covers by Hawkwind and RPWL. Also RPWL covered "Welcome to the machine".

I think that apart the creativity issue, very characteristic of prog artists and bands, Progressive has already a real history, with amazing songs and great musicians/composers; consequently, covers shall be more common in the future IMO.

The Ozric Tentacles covered "Master Builder" by Gong. So did Steve Hillage, although with him "covering" is not quite the right expression. Many bands felt the necessity to cover a Beatles song. Hawkwind did a cover version of "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones once. Steve Hillage did covers of Donovan ("Hurdy Gurdy Man") and George Harrison ("It's All too Much"). Peter Hammill covered a Herbert Grönemeyer song ("Smile"; he translated the lyrics into English though). To name a few. I could go on and on...

Soon(yes) by the Flower Kings I don't want to hear that. I have nothing against TFK in general, but they should not try to do this. Spock's Beard covered South Side of the Sky.Another one I'd like to avoid.

These are not bad  singers, but the mentioned classics are beyond their abilities.

You can hear a couple of those by buying the official Calprog bootleg at Calprogs site.  WWW.Calrpog.com for those too lazy to look it up. It's only $10.00
