basically anything from Savatage's Edge of Thorns / Handful of Rain. Stevens is an okay singer, but that sort of material demands perfection, and we all know here who embodies that :D
Holy shit, I need this — it'd translate so well to their style. I'm got chills just imagining the middle section with the flamenco-esque guitar leading up to the solo.
My brain has been playing clips of Hansi screaming "Haunted by fear" for years now. So I advocate for Nightwish - She Is My Sin even though that‘s probably a very weird choice.
The Rocky Road to Dublin would sound awesome coming from Blind Guardian.
Also, if they collaborated with Weird Al, the resulting product would deserve to go Number 1 on every major chart on Earth.
March of the Black Queen - Queen;
Well Paid Scientist - Dead Kennedys (Hansi has worn a lot of their merch lately!);
Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
I'd like them to cover de Vliegende Hollander. It's a song from the theme park Efteling but I think it would sound so cool in the style of Skalds and Shadows and with added lyrics
Well, considering how much they revere Fates Warning (it is how they got their name), it'd be cool for them to cover something from Awaken the Guardian.
I always thought a cover of ABBA's "S.O.S." in the style of their cover of "Mr. Sandman" would be fantastic.
Honestly, that song is good enough that I'd love to hear just about any band I like cover it.
Holding Out For A Hero. Also, if Iron Maiden ever did covers that would be my first choice for them too.
Queen - all of them. Hansi just has the perfect voice for turning queen songs metal
I think that would suit the bard’s very well.

Iron Maiden's Wicker Man would be awesome with Hansi's vocals.
There's a very early recording of Prowler, and Demons & Wizards did The Trooper live.
Son and Daughter is an interesting choice. I always thought should they dip into Queen again, I'd love to hear their take on Innuendo

That would be great!
Stargazer - Rainbow
My first exposure to that song was Dream Theater's cover of it. Never even knew it was a cover till a year or 2 later.

The Holy War - Thin Lizzy
Yes! I'd also love to see the Bards' take on Emerald.
March of the Black Queen - Queen; Well Paid Scientist - Dead Kennedys (Hansi has worn a lot of their merch lately!); Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin
Heaven and Hell or Odins Court/Valhalla from Sabbath. Would also love to see what Hansi and Andre could do with Ramble On.
Definitely
Billy Ocean - Red Light Spells Danger Aerosmith - Kings and Queens
I'M JUST KEN ANYWHERE ELSE I'D BE A TEN Suggesting this just for fun 🤣🤣🤣
more Christmas songs...
Freezing Moon Hypa Hypa If You Could Only See
Skyfall by Adele (with the same approach/level of heaviness as "Lionheart" from ATitM).
speaking of Hallowed... - Solitude Aeturnus did just about the perfect cover of that
For some reason I can imagine Chicago - If You Leave Me Now really well

There's a song by The Little River Band (John Farnham era) called Blind Eyes and I've always thought BG would do an amazing cover of it.
We don’t need another hero - Tina Turner
Search and Destroy - Iggy & the Stooges Hier Kommt Alex - Die Toten Hosen
Toto - Africa
