- C - Les Claypool

Having listened to a little Primus, I have to admit that Les Claypool was a name I didn't recognise so it's a thanks to the record shop (remember them) that produced Live Frogs: Set 1 from under the counter. A live album and part one of a set by Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Glad to say this isn't anywhere near as daft as the title sounds and is a tight rock set recorded in 2000.

Starting with a King Crimson cover Thela Hun Ginjeet and ending with Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Which of course means you now need Live Frogs: Set 2 which is even better and even stranger as the band cover Pink Floyd's Animals album from start to finish.

 I will be giving a few highly recommended mentions for covers of other peoples albums when I get to 'D' and the un-missable Dream Theater.
