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!------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Deadwing008/?chartstyle=Basquiat">
