 Topic: Which Proggers would you like to see as AI judges?

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez have left American Idol as judges, opening up two new positions? Which two prog singers/musicians would you like to see replace them in order to make the show more interesting and worth watching for you?

Great thread. Just going with vocalists, I think it would be hillarious to have Geddy Lee or James Labrie on the judging panel. Toby Driver and Peter Hammil would also be interesting.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez
Peter Gabriel
Rich Balling (Rx bandits/TSOAF)
Me because I'd be the cynical a****le that hates everyone, even the other judges, that this show needs. (Although Omar could be just as big of one probably. Actually, probably moreso)
Oh shoot yea Peter Hammil or Toby Driver good too- I second those.

King Crimson went through a number of vocalists throughout the years. Could you see Mr. Fripp playing the Simon Cowell role?

If Omar was on the show, it would be the greatest season of American Idol ever, and I would watch it despite my hate for reality television and all that it stands for. I say they should replace J-Lo and Steven Tyler with Omar and Cedric.

Could have Mikael Akerfeldt as a judge and have him make the contestants give their best growls.

Jon Anderson and Steven Wilson would definitely spice things up!

I'd love to see Christian Vander give some coaching on falsetto singing.
Realistically, though, for some reason Peter Hammill came to mind. I really think he'd be an appropriate choice.
From the younger generation, the Mars Volta guy would be pretty choice too.

I suspect that the only way it would actually happen was if they were to select someone famous like Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins or Greg Lake. I could see Rick Wakeman doing it, with his Grumpy Old Men program and all. He could probably add a lot of humour to the program.

Actually, the obvious choice would be Chris Squire, with the winner becoming the newest Jon Anderson replacement for their next album and tour.

They already had a show called rockstar... with INXS... and damn it I wanted to shoot everyone in the world. With a BB gun... but still.

Yep. They also had the one with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. Rockstar Supernova, or whatever it was called.
I think that the INXS one may have been the 2nd season.

Ian Anderson would provide quite a bit of acerbic wit, I would think. Brian Eno might provide an intriguing perspective.

Bill Bruford---he's smart, cutting, sarcastic and a musical snob---perfect.

Another thought. Gentle Giant's Derek Shulman. He has made a living out of signing musical talent.

Fish. I think he would do a good job of hamming it up (in a good way, of course)

Annie Haslam could represent prog as the female judge.

I'd rather they spurned it like the garbage it is and got on with making great music.
