Your dream rock super group?

Hi,

I was thinking that the late Vivian Stanshall would be the ultimate on vocals ... or shall we say "vibes"?

And we need a new version of "We're Normal" ... and we dig Burt Weenie! At least it won't be from the Marquis de Sade/Jean Paul Marat play ... where it was "we're normal, and we want our freedom". Too political for PA!!!

But for a band? Hmmm ... Tom Lehrer on vocals, of course (Poisoning Pigeons At The Park ... with music by Chicago)

The Clams for comedy effect and don't tell Tony Levin about it! Close To You, of course!

Spike Jones on brass arrangements and noises that can't be discussed on PA ... they are rude, unless done by RW! And Mike won't list them on his lists!

PDQ Bach on kazoos

Spike Milligan walking backwards for Christmas with socks full of custaaaaard!

That Kovacs guy on video is an absolute must, so it can be shown on the toob and on the old MTV ... the milk will run sideways! Or maybe upwards!

HELP, of course! Hendrix, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Sadly we never got it.

It would more likely have been HELM (Mitch Mitchell instead of Carl Palmer) but it could have become a bit like Crosby, Stills and Nash with Neil Young occasionally so ELP&H was a possible future option maybe in a parallel universe where Jimi hadn't left us so early. The Barbarian with Hendrix on guitar would have been insane!

One that should have happened was Keith Emerson linking up with Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire and Alan White in the early 80's. Brian Lane was still trying to get some combination of ELP and Yes going.

How about 'Yelesis'


Peter Gabriel - Vocals
Chris Squire - Bass
Steve Hackett - Guitars
Keith Emerson - Keys
Phil Collins - Drums

(basically Genesis with a better Bass and Keys player)
