It seems like there is more to be mined from the wonderful wooly world of prog-rock, and a long list of cool bands with iconic songs from that genre. To wit: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Supertramp, ELO, Saga...all these bands have interesting songs that are often big production numbers. All of them just waiting to be reduced down to a solo context, where the musical and lyrical genius can be revealed afresh. So, let's see...
Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Another Brick in the Wall
Genesis: No Reply at All, Follow You Follow Me
Yes: Roundabout, I've Seen All Good People
Supertramp: Dreamer, Logical Song, Breakfast in America, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home
ELO: Telephone Line, Don't Bring Me Down
Saga: On the Loose, Wind Him Up
Those are just initial thoughts. I am going to have a go at these today, and see what macaroni sticks to the wall...

If you do pink Floyd's another brick in the wall you gotta do all three parts and do the happiest day of my life going into part two.
