A fun one by the #McGuireSisters doing a vocal version of the opening theme to the film Man With the Golden Arm. I got a kick out of it as a young kid, as I was living in Biloxi. Scroll down the comments a bit for the lyrics

Formed in 1962, like the Rolling Stones, Omega, from #Hungary, equals their record as the longest continually active rock group, albeit with some turnover in the members.
Albums were re-recorded in English for wider appeal.

These musicians met while attending Cologne Music Academy and formed a band in 2009. This song is from their 2015 album Strange Delight.
Note: the Intro, such as it is, is 3 minutes long, then the tempo picks up quite a bit.

With the drummer the only original (1970) member, #ProgRock group #PFM continues to play today.
Photos of Ghosts and The World Became the World were my intro to PFM in 1974.
Il Banchetto, from PoG, is sung in Italian.

For my money, this is the most exciting, bombastic, and theatrical recording of this piece (not just O Fortuna, but the complete Carmina Burana).
Carl Orff: O Fortuna. Cleveland Orch/Michael Tilson-Thomas, cond.

#MandyPatinkin does a bang-up job in this number.

A prog group born out of the ashes of the Yardbirds in 1969, #Renaissance had had a complete turnover of personnel when they released their 1973 breakout, "Ashes Are Burning," with #AnnieHaslam.

From the rock star of his day, Franz #Liszt, comes this rollicking piece, "Totentanz" (Dance of Death), in my favorite recorded version, with Andre Watts killing it on the keyboard.

More of a concept, now, than an actual lineup of musicians, Afro-Celt Sound System is still an enjoyable fusion of electronic, traditional Gaelic, and African music.
