I used to play Pictures Of A City and 21st Century Schizoid Man on my electric guitar. Now I'm practicing Fracture (the Moto Perpetuo section is really hard...)

I also play Mood For A Day (Yes), Lark's Tongues In Aspic (part 2) (KC), a lot of Harmonium songs (from l'Heptade)...

Even though I studied piano for more than 5 years, never was very good, so my favorite song top play is the easiest, Come Sail Away by STYX.

Now as a drummer I love to play everything but my favorite is One for the Vine even when it's a very hard song to follow, Phil adds a lot of variations that defy logic.

PH's A Whiter Shade Of Pale & PF's Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Although I've always tended not to enjoy playing too many covers ... I think I've done mainly Jon Lord and Ray Manzarek songs (with Purple and the Doors respectively of course)

keyboard for 20 years, guitar for 11, bass for the last 4 ...

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

I play bass guitar (3 years now)

Supper's Ready is quite entertaining on bass, though the apocalypse section is a bitch

The Baba Yaga stuff by ELP

The Truth Will Set You Free by The Flower Kings (Jonas Reingold is a God amongst men)

Thoughts pt. 1 by SB

LTIA pt. II

Elephant talk

The Knife is a great agressive song for bass playing

Roundabout

A Change of Seasons (the crimson sunrise)

Hmmm....recently:

Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree

Paradigm Shift - Liquid Tension Experiment

Red - King Crimson

A Change of Seasons - Dream Theater

Including old Megadeth, Metallica and a handful of Tool songs. Probably a few others that I've forgotten about. The boys in the band and I will knock around these and some others from time to time. For the technically harder tunes it usually becomes a contest to see how far we can get before someone forgets or flubs. Good times!

We're currently working on The JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE's "3rd stone from the sun" with my friends.

We have a basic drums-bass-guitar trio with old 60's equipment and sound. We don't even do singing, so when we thought about possible coversongs, it should be:

  • from timeperiod of late 60's to early 70's
  • guitar - bass - drums trio
  • instrumental
  • partly or completely transcribed to tablatures

Other candidates were "Undertune" by The WHO, or some FRANK ZAPPA tunes transcribed to our trio.

"Redunzl"?

If anyone spots any tune that fits my description, please let me know!
