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. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

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. ------------- http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/ wtf |

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. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

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

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. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

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. -------------

Ian Anderson would provide quite a bit of acerbic wit, I would think. Brian Eno might provide an intriguing perspective. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

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) ------------- Recent Music Acquisitions: Johnny Marr-"The Messenger" Steven Wilson-"The Raven that Refused to Sing" Fish-"Sunsets on Empire" Riverside-"Shrine of New Generation Slaves" |

Annie Haslam could represent prog as the female judge. -------------

I think Peter Hammill would be perfect. Others.. Thom Yorke Phil Collins Pete Townsend or Roger Daltrey ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Somehow resurrect Frank Zappa, then I would watch. Thinking realistically, Peter Hammill, Ian Anderson, and Fish were mentioned above, and would probably have interesting things to say. ------------- breathing, eating, defecating, screwing, drinking, spewing, sleeping...

The show is so antithetical to prog that none is the right answer.

| Make Fripp and Hammill the judges. Or anybody else who will blast the hell out of these contestants and scare them off stage for good. |

I could totally see the boys from TMV being judges, and Omar criticizing singers in his typical philosophical, intellectual way.  Maybe Jonsi from Sigur Ros and Geddy Lee as well.

I would like to see Fred Firth hammering every single one of the contestants for being unoriginal, tedious and for lacking "artsmanship". Toby would just be there being depressed, I think. -------------

Apparently, Mariah Carey will be one of the new judges. That should make a certain segment of PA old-timers quite happy. -------------
