One of the most popular, and analyzed,
albums ever is undoubtedly
's 1979 sprawling masterpiece
. Although the definitive version remains the aforementioned studio album, there has also been a 1982 movie (starring a pre-
), and two separate live albums -- one by
in 1990 (
) and the other a delayed release of
performances from the early '80s (2000s
). So you think that would be the last we heard from
, right? Think again. A multitude of classic rockers/prog rockers have united to cover
in its entirety, under the title
. Led by producer
, a rotating case of musicians was assembled to make anyone with a well-worn copy of
drool with excitement --
'
,
, and

's
, among countless others. Interestingly though, it can be argued that
was
's least "progressive" album, as the group focused on tight song structures -- obviously inspired by the then burgeoning
and
movements. The performances are expectedly spot-on (and it's quite impressive how they re-created all the sound effects/
bits so precisely), and stick very close to the originals -- except for a

to choose from, you've got to wonder if
was necessary at all. ~ Greg Prato
