I like the way Jennings sings on the track, because Its there' off The Mountain album.
When he sings deeply melodic like that I think it could work with DT, but for me LaBrie is still the man. Would be interesting to hear though.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

The thing is that I actually find LaBrie rather Annoying. I undestand he has a very powerful voice and can reach insane notes, but he kind of lacks a personality to his voice (apart from being annoying). I like him much better when he sings subtle and calm. Jennings is much more pleasnt for me when he is throwing his lungs out.

Right you are. Hey. I think you'd really dig/appreciate LEPROUS's COAL album. It's pretty impressive.
I'd give that a spin, so you can really be yanked out if the 70's.

^ I was avoiding that one for some reason - looks a bit 'hardcore' for my liking. I'm very fussy and cautious with Prog-Metal.

Updated version of my actual perfect line-up:

Jon Anderson - Vocals
Alex Lifeson - Guitar
Tony Banks - Keys and rhythm/twelve string guitar
Chris Squire - Bass
Neil Peart - Drums

Based on my recent listening tastes:

Avey Tare - Vocals
D. Boon - Lead guitar
Steven Drozd - Rhythm guitar and keys
Mike Watt - Bass
Kliph Scurlock - Drums

Just think about it; Kliph's fantastic beats comboed with really great guitar and keys textures from Steven, D. Boon and Mike playing some really catchy, angular riffs on top, accentuated by Avey's lively vocals

(I think there's a more recent version of this thread/question on the forums but I can't find it but I found this one)
This one's not perfect, but it's based on my last five RateYourMusic ratings:

Keith Moon - Drums
Peter Gabriel - Keyboards, backing vocals
Jack White - Guitar
Art Garfunkel - Vocals
The Residents - Songwriting, artwork, and visual aesthetic

I don't remember if I already wrote this line-up, or a very similar one, but here it goes:
Peter Hamill - Vocals.
Steve Howe (or Robert Fripp) - Guitars (or both, since Fripp liked to play with dual guitars anyway).
Keith Emmerson - Keyboards.
Ian Anderson - Flute (and additional vocals and guitars).
David Jackson - Sax (and additional flute).
Chris Squire - Bass (and backing vocals).
Bill Bruford - Drums.
