 Topic: The Greatest Supergroup EVER
Posted: April 25 2005 at 15:47 |
This thread is being made out of sheer whimsical fantasy, and also as a
seque from the "Genius musicians" thread. What would be the greatest
prog-rock supergroup to be able to see live and all record together?
Considering all the amazing musicians on the prog scene, some of the
amazing art that they could create by working together is probably
astounding. Here's my dream supergroup:
Vocals - Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation)
Guitars - Steve Howe (Yes)
- Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (The Mars Volta)
Bass - Pete Trewavas (Marillion)
Keyboards - Keith Emerson (ELP)
Drum Set - Neil Peart (Rush)
Additional Vocals and Flute - Peter Gabriel (Genesis)
Additional Guitar/ Ambience / Production - Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree)
Now just imgaine this line-up coming out with a CD....a prog-rock lover's wet dream I'd say (or at least mine  ).
I think this is the perfect mix (for me) of modern and classic prog
from all different sub-categories. Now just strictly classic
line-up...that'd be harder!

hmm, how's this for a odd supergroup of members:
Peter Hammill - Lead vocals
Keith Emmerson - Organ, Piano
Tony Banks - Synthesizer, Mellotron
Steve Howe - Acoustic Guitar, backing vocals
Roine Stolt - Electric Guitar, vocals
Chris Squire - Bass
Ian Anderson - Flute, backing vocals
Jean-Luc Ponty - Electric Violin
David Jackson - Sax
Neal Peart - Drums
Who knows what the heck would come from that line-up but it sure could be fun!
