    I really loved what they did with the King Crimson song "20th Century Schizoid Man." One of my favorites.

    Check this Elton John cover out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut-9Xnnw6kE

    Well, ya learn something every day! April Wine is so iconic in Canada, that I never knew "Bad Side of the Moon" was an Elton John tune. I always assumed it to be AW - pretty sure that's the only version I've ever heard That, or I'm not as old as you, Spud

    Oh my! "I Like To Rock" is the song that totally hooked me.

    T Ross - What do you mean you aren't as old as me?
