Most excellent. The last issue of Classic Prog magazine had a big feature on early Genesis.

 Van Der Graaf Generator - Theme One (original mix).   :cool:

It may be their only track I really like, as it turns out I have a visceral dislike of Peter Hammill and I didn't know he was the creative force behind the band.  :D

edit:

Dixie Dregs - Take It Off The Top

Eagles - Journey Of The Sorcerer

Adele - Skyfall

Garry Moore - Out In The Fields

Neil Young - Heart Of Gold

Marillion - Cinderella Search

Atomic Rooster - Winter

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (her version of whatever that famous remixed version was)

One of my favorite tracks of the 90s.

You should give some of their more recent stuff a whirl.

Neverland from 2005 is one of my alltime faves by the band. Here's a live version:

One fun thing about Spotify is that you can quickly find cover versions of songs. I was surprised to learn that there's a Swedish version of the song "Battle of New Orleans".

Also, there's a cover of the song by British band Cornershop, with Sitar and all. Why does this exist?
