Fallen: Evanescence Covered
Recreation of the Evanescence album Fallen with covers. Artwork generated with Leonardo.Ai and PhotoReal. Text written with free Evanescent font. I remember noting that Evanescence was the first new band I got into during the 21st century. Although I had heard some metal during the 20th century, it seemed to be angry, abrasive music with bad vocals and little artistic merit. But the music of Evanescence was very artistic with beautiful female vocals. In some ways it was similar to October Project, but it had a harder edge. 1. "Going Under" by Lauren Babic, Chris Mifsud Lauren Babic is a Canadian singer who frequently posts covers of hard rock and metal to YouTube. She has collaborated and toured with both Halocene and Violet Orlandi, mentioned below. It is her face on the cover of the a
Hybrid Theory: Covering Linkin Park
Recreating Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory with covers. Artwork generated with Leonardo.Ai. I discovered Linkin Park through the Live Earth concert Al Gore organized for 7/7/2007. While Evanescence was the first, Linkin Park was the second metal group I got into. Both have more artistic music with better singing than I had previously heard from metal. But another thing that distinguished Linkin Park was its hybrid of rap and metal. While I have never been much into straight rap, I have appreciated rap mixed with music, such as the last Miles Davis album Doo-Bop or "Roll the Bones" by Rush.
Little Earthquakes: Covering Tori Amos
A recreation of the Tori Amos album with one cover per song, all in the same order. Each cover is my favorite of the ones available, though sometimes only one was available. Drawing inside the frame generated with Leonardo.Ai and the Cute Anime Girls model I first heard Tori Amos playing in the background while I was at a cafe with friends, and I thought it was Kate Bush playing. One of them corrected me, telling me it was Tori Amos. I soon got into Tori Amos and found that I liked her even more than Kate Bush. Most of these have female vocals. A few are instrumental, because vocal covers were not available, and the title track has male vocals, because that was the only option. I tried to get different artists where I could, but necessity stopped me from completely doing that. Also, I th
A First Tour of Progressive Rock Through Live Albums
Starting with Asia, through whom I got into progressive rock, this playlist features live albums from artists I got into through or soon after Asia. Multiple live albums by the same band are chosen to complement each other by showcasing different periods or lead singers. Instead of being yet another list of favorites, this is a curated list of live albums for getting into progressive rock. A live album brings together some of the best music of an artist. As some bands had long careers with multiple periods or even lead singers, I represented some with two or three live albums. When I did, I tried to minimize overlap between songs and between lineups. I chose artists I have been listening to for a long time. I got into most of them during the 80s, and I had albums by all of them before I
Yesmen: The other music of Yes Members
Music from members of the progressive rock group Yes. It's probably best to play on shuffle, since whole albums are grouped together. You can browse the list to find out what else your favorite Yes members have done. I will add new albums as they come out or I learn about them. This is a huge collection of almost any music I can find by members of Yes outside of Yes. This includes solo material, collaborations, and work with other bands. For the purposes of this list, I am counting only officially recognized members who have recorded with Yes on at least one album. By this criterion, Yes has had 18 members. The collage represents all but one of them. Solo albums with a clear picture of the member are normally favored. To fit 17 members on 16 albums, one album is a collaboration between tw
Yes Covers: From Tormato
Covers of songs from the Yes album Tormato. Not all songs had covers, but those that do are represented in the same order. Artwork generated with the Stable Diffusion AI. 1. "Future Times Rejoice" by Parallels Parallels is a Yes cover band. 2. "Don't Kill the Whale" by Magellan Magellan is a progressive rock group that recorded on the Magna Carta label during the 90s. This song appeared on the Magna Carta album Tales from Yesterday, which featured covers of Yes songs. 3. "Madrigal" by Rick Wakeman Rick Wakeman was the keyboard player in Yes for Tormato, and he co-wrote this song. This is an instrumental version. 4. "Release, Release" by Shadow Gallery Shadow Gallery is a progressive rock group that recorded on the Magna Carta label during the 90s. This song appeared on the Magna Ca

Yes Covers: Going for the One
Recreation of the Yes album Going for the One, featuring covers of each song in the same order as on the original album. The artwork was generated by the Stable Diffusion AI. Instead of imitating the original cover art, I tried to get something close to Roger Dean's original idea for it. 1. "Going for the One" by Adam Wakeman, Lee Pomeroy, Ant Glynne, Richard Brooks, and Damian Wilson. Of the individual performers, Adam Wakeman is the son of Rick Wakeman, who was the keyboardist on Going for the One, Lee Pomeroy is a bassist who has worked with Yes feat. Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman, and Damian Wilson has sung with Rick Wakeman's English Rock Ensemble. These same musicians play "And You and I" in my Close to the Edge playlist. 2. "Turn of the Century" by Steve Howe and Annie Haslam Stev
Red Redux by King Crimson, John Wetton and others
This playlist features three reconstructions of King Crimson's Red using live versions by King Crimson and covers by other artists. The first has King Crimson on the instrumentals and John Wetton on the vocal tracks. The second has King Crimson with Jakko Jakszyk on vocals. Brand X covers Red. Shades of Starless, performed by David Cross and Stick Men, takes the place of Providence. The third features covers except for one instrumental King Crimson piece that takes the place of Providence. It ends with a version of Starless by David Cross. For the cover art, I wanted something recognizable as King Crimson and as Red, but which didn't look like a photograph of John Wetton, Bill Bruford, and Robert Fripp. I made it by tweaking an Ideogram image with Tengrai AI.
