Why would anyone want to cover prog and fusion? I might like prog more than I used to, but it's still not a very "coverable" genre.

Pretty much.

Just because hipsters decided it was "dead" doesn't make it so.
Like all genres there was a shitload of gawdawful crap and some good stuff

Alright, why would anyone ELSE want to LISTEN to prog and fusion covers?

I think the fall of Chula's band answers your question.

My memory is foggy but at one time or another we played stuff like this.

Pat Travers - Life in London
UFO - Rock Bottom
Be Bop Deluxe - Axe Victim
David Bowie - Ziggy
Rush - Bastille Day
Jimi Hendrix - Let me Stand Next to your Fie
Robin Trower - Little Bit of Sympathy
Yes - Siberian Khatru
Rush - 2112 Live Version
Pink Floyd - Pigs
Lenny White - Stew Cabbage and Galactic Beans (look it up :-)
Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same
Pat Travers - Gettin Better
Rush - La Villa Strangiato
Yes - I've Seen All Good People
Be Bop Deluxe - Third Floor Heaven
Zeppelin - Moby Dick
Rush - Xanadu
ZZ Top - Waiting on the Bus
Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Jeff Beck - Cause We've Ended as Lovers
Rush - Circumstances

And we sprinkled in a bunch of originals that were extremely Rush influenced.
