^Or insist he be billed as "featuring Robert Fripp." But, hell, he deserves it.

I'd like to have had Robert Fripp in my Big Six Supergroup, but he probably would've fired the other five members of the band at some point. Tongue

Mike Rutherford - vocalist

Peter Banks - guitar
Adrian Belew - guitar
So why did you pick Rutherford?

Ian Anderson (JT) - Flute
Mel Collins (KC) - Sax
Greg Lake (ELP) - Bass
Mike Rutherford (Genesis) - Bass
Bill Bruford (Yes) - Drums, Percussion 
Nick Mason (PF) - Drums, Percussion

No guitars or vocals you say? Well, no. I like instrumental music as much as I like music with vocals, so I thought I’d take a different route. I also love a great rhythm section, and I’ve always liked those that are doubled up. Apart from KC’s infamous double trio, I’ve only come across bands with two bassists, or two drummers, but not two of each. This supergroup seemed the perfect opportunity to create another double trio.

Now, I could have gone for guitars, but I also have a lot of love for bands that choose not to use them, and use brass instead. This year alone, there have been magnificent releases from Ottone Pesante and Kilter. I’d prefer a double trio containing sax, bass and drums - but Ian Andersonon flute is the next best thing, I guess....

Keith Emerson - keyboards
Andrew McCulloch - drums
Ian Anderson - vocals, flute
Chris Squire - bass guitar

Roman Bunka (Embryo) - lead guitar (most underrated guitar player on this site; he is phenomenal)
Barbara Dennerlein - modified Hammond B3
Barbara Thompson (Paraphernalia) - saxes and flutes
Chris Karrer (Amon Düül 2) - lead guitar and violin
Peter Hammill (Van der Graaf Generator) - vocals, piano and rhythm guitar
Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru) - drums

Two would be Lake and Bruford, three Bruford.

Update, forgot Levin...KC and Yes.


Nice picks! Smile

Just thinking - Levin: three? KC and Yes and Pink Floyd (on AMLOR)?

Consider all musicians are in their prime and pick those who can compose a good song. The band would include two guitars, bass, drums, keys, and vocalist. Assume they would all get along.



Carl Palmer - ELP, drums
Martin Barre - Tull, guitar
Dave Gilmour - Floyd, guitar (& vocals)
Rick Wakeman - Yes, keys (& arrangement, orchestration and grumpiness)
John Wetton - KC, bass (& vocals)
Phil Collins - Genesis, vocals (& drums)

I'd much rather have a second keyboardist though, instead of a second guitarist, in which my pick would be...
Carl Palmer - ELP, drums
Martin Barre - Tull, guitar
Rick Wright - Floyd, keys (& vocals)
Rick Wakeman - Yes, keys (etc)
John Wetton - KC, bass (& vocals)
Phil Collins - Genesis, vocals (& drums)

Who says you need two guitars and a vocalist.  Clown
 
Disqalified. Did you not read the OP?


Yes I did. That's why I put this Clown at the end of my post.

None of these musicians were in Jethro Tull or ELP though. 

Sorry! Missed that line in the original post. I, therefore, have to update my submission.
