So much for "last cover"

So here's a shortened version of "Close to the Edge" by Yes, featuring some great vocals from Karen Rushon (Chen). This version is about half the length of the original. Which means you can like it twice as much. (That's what we like to call "new math"...)

The last cover song...I promise!

But at least it's a good one. Even if you're not a fan of ELP, this is one of their best, and yet least known songs, called Pirates. It was originally written as a soundtrack to a movie that never materialized, and then ended up on "Works". This features some great vocals from Graham Seaman of England, who is in a well known ELP tribute band. Please to enjoy.

Holy crap, something new!

and yet, really really old... See if you recognize these Rainbow songs from the late 70's, early 80's.

Dancing With Skeletons

Speaking of cleaning out "the closet"...this is a really old demo, Dancing With Skeletons.

Clearing out the closet

Here's a bunch of songs for your listening pleasure/horror (whichever is more appropriate):

• Belexes - cover version of a very old Kansas song
• Gather 'Round - cool proggy song
• Jealous Woman - another cool semi-proggy song
• Oops...I Did It Again - the infamous Britney Spears cover, done much better than the original, most would agree. You can almost taste the Max Martin lawsuit.
• Photographs - interesting song about a visit to an old abondoned house, and seeing the photographs, belongings, ghosts, etc. of the previous inhabitants.
• Scared Alive '06 - the full 6 part epic. Unfortunately for you, it means you have to suffer through the weaker first part before it gets good, at about the 3:10 mark.
• Surrounded - an acoustic version of part of the Dream Theater song.
• Dorian Gray - 7th Century - prog metal featuring at least 3 different vocalists.
• Dorian Gray - Art School - neo-prog ala Marillion
• Dorian Gray - Beautiful Lies - quirky prog
• Dorian Gray - Walk Out on the Rain - mellow song featuring real viola.
