Van Halen :sign_of_the_horns: Not even joking, listen to the song Dreams starting at 3.:36 and just let it play out. Tell me that voice and guitar solo wouldn’t sound amazing as a Dragonite, Charizard and Ho-oh fly past Ash and the gang as they battle their way through Kanto. Ah, the glory days.

A wild take, finnish band called turmion kätilöt, but instead of any of their original songs i’ll post this mash up with Katy Perry to capture how their style works with another popular song :ok_hand:

I could hear Soen doing a beautiful cover.

Theyre kind of like a blend of Opeth, Tool and Pink Floyd.

I think TALK would be a great choice. I feel he’s got that good clear rock vocal quality that you’d want for this type of song :guitar: :musical_notes::
