If you had to create the ultimate dream band, who would be in it? Vocals - Roger Waters/David Gilmour Guitars - Steve Howe, Steve Hackett Bass - Geddy Lee Drums - Bill Bruford Violin - Robby Steinhardt Keyboards - Rick Wakeman Flute - Ian Anderson ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

See, the real trick is not just picking your favorite player of each instrument, but rather trying to choose a band that would actually have great chemistry and make good music together. for instance, John petrucci and tony banks probably shouldnt be in the same band... I am not quite sure who I would put in such a band, but I'll give it some thought and get back to you. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

What an original idea for a topic. Vocals - Burke Shelley. Guitars - Future Poxx. Drums - Poxx with Reason 3.0 or Phil Collins with no contract. Bass - Chris Squire Keyboards - Peter Bardens. Flute - Thijs Van Leer. Nice setup.

I woudn't select the most talented virtuosos on each instrument, I'd just select a group of guys who would compose good music with their combined unique talents. Daniel Gildenlow: composition, lead vocals, songwriting Robert Fripp: composition, guitar Neil Peart: percussion, songwriting Miles Davis: composition, trumpet Victor Wooten: bass, backing vocals David Jackson: saxophone Tomas Bodin: composition, keyboard, backing vocals John McLaughlin: lead guitar ------------- Life seemed to him merely like a gallery of how to be.

You are very very right, GS. Despite not really wanting to participate, I've searched for an old lineup I selected on one of these threads where I took this into account, and I'll reproduce it here as a (IMO) cracking example of this:
Hmmm... believe it or not this has inspired me to think up a new, jazzier dream band! Argh! God save us from these threads!  |

If everyone in it's instrument is brillinat and is sufficiently open minded to hear other's opinion (basic in making prog, then any group of the best musicians will be alright)
Vocals - Peter Hamill Guitar - David Gilmour Bass - Chris Squire Drums - Neil Peart or Christian Vander, I still don't know. Keyboards - Rick Wakeman & Keith Emerson (If Banco had two keiboards, why can't we ?) Flute - Ian Anderson !!!! Sound engeneer, Alan Parson ... of course ! And as advisors ... Waters and ... ME ! jajaja |

I've heard of it it's about keith emerson and greg lake who were auditionnning drumers ... and they auditioned the drummer from the jimi hendrix experience. so hendrix went jealous so he wanted to do ... Hendrix, Emerson, Lake and Palmer.Now that would have been interesting. |

GoldenSpiral and Trouserpress' notes on chemistry are well-taken. The
players should 'work' musically, although part of the fun is mixing and
matching. Anyway, without further ado, here's one band that would be
fun, for an intense kick: Bass: Jannick Top--one of the most propulsive musicians I've ever heard Guitar: Robert Fripp--a laser to cut through the pummeling low-end Guitar: Tony Iommi--would essentially work with Top to provide a massive, sinister foundation. Drums: John Bonham--one of few drummers who could beat the hell out of his set with grooves. Drums: Lenny White--to keep Bonham funky and also to provide fills. Vocals: Alberto Piras--we'd need someone of his grandeur to project over the density of everyone else's playing. How I picture it all taking shape would be with Top pushing the whole thing forward with bass lines a la De Futura. Bonham would complement the evil bass lines with his bass drum destruction a la Out on the Tiles/Immigrant Song/Wanton Song. Lenny would provide some funkiness and fills like he did with Return to Forever and his own Venusian Summer. Iommi would provide the essential melodies with riffs along the lines of Into the Void/Sabbath Bloody Sabbath/National Acrobat. Fripp would make it all glow a searing red with his sustains like Starless/Larks Tongues 1. Alberto would wail over the top to carry the whole outfit to the gates of heaven. |

If Howe gets uppity, HES OUT. I've no tolerance for that. The main thrust of the band would be Ian Anderson, Tony Banks, and Ian McDonald. -------------

Apart from the great affinity for master Fripp, the guitarist will most likely be named Steve, right?!?!?  . If you don't believe me, just count the Steve's in most appreciated prog bands (please take Deep Purple '90's into consideration )------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

OK, let's have a go... Vocals - Jon Anderson (He's capable at a multitude of instruments and is without competetion my favorite singer, and lyricist in the Prog world) Keys - Rick Wakeman (I couldn't concieve a supergroup without him! He could have more of a role in composition than in Yes.) Guitar - Steve Hackett (I'm trying not to overrepresent Yes, here. Besides, Hackett is another of my favorite guitarists.) Bass - Geddy Lee (Had to get a Canadian in somewhere. He could do some vocals, too if he really wanted to...) Drums - Carl Palmer (He provides more power than Billy, and I think he would fit well with Geddy) Does anyone see any fundemental problem with this lineup?

I've slightly changed my mind since the last time I posted in one of
these, in the interest of examining the personalities of the members: Guitar/Composition/Arrangement: Frank Zappa Guitar: Robert Fripp Vocals: Peter Gabriel Bass/Vocals: Kevin Ayers (From Soft Machine, hopefully some of you have heard of him...) Drums: Either Terry Bozzio or Bill Bruford Keyboards: This is probably the most difficult choice, but I'm going to say either David Sinclair from Caravan (Who can also do backing vocals), or Rick Wakeman (Who might be a bit too aggresive for Fripp and Zappa) |

I have done something like that several times before, but will do it again: Roman Bunka - guitar, oud. This excellent guitar player is way too little known. If dead people count: Pierre Moerlen - drums, xylophone. marimba, vibraphone. If not, I will replace him with either Christian Vander of Magma or Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru. Helmut Hattler - bass. Another fantastic musician that should be talked about a lot more. Hardly anyone knows him though. Didier Malherbe - saxes, flute, doudouk, zeff, ocarina. The best flautist of prog (no, it is NOT Ian Anderson). Simon House - violin, keyboards. Barbara Dennerlein - organ (including the bass pedals; would be interesting to have two bass players in the band, so to speak. Her pedal technique is unsurpassed). Peter Hammill - vocals, rhythm guitar, additional keyboards Inga Rumpf - vocals No idea what this band would come up with; it would definitely be something strange though. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

And how about the aborted Wetton/Wakeman/Bruford trio?
Or a real fruition of XYZ?
Finally, here's one that almost happened:

Two Bands
A grouping that I believe would bring out the best (both prog and otherwise) in each other:
Vocals: Tom Waits; Carl McCoy (Fields if the Nephilim: Elisium album only)
Electric Guitars: Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins)
Acoustic Guitar: Kaki King
Electric Violin/Electric Mandolin: Nash the Slash
Bass: Rob Fordyce (ex-Cairo)
Keyboards: Kevin Moore (Post-Dream Theater material only)
Drums: Tim Alexander (Primus)
Why the above? Because I can. Now for the more traditional grouping:
Vocals: Peter Hammill; Peter Gabriel
Guitar: Robert Fripp
Bass: Tony Levin
Keys: Kit Watkins; Jan Hammer
Drums: Christian Vander
Percussion: Jamie Muir
Sax: Ornette Coleman
Perhaps produced by Brian Eno?

As I say every time Hammill (vocals, lyrics, pianos, keys, guitar), Cross (violins, viola), Giles (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Haskell (bass, vocals), Schetagne (percussion) (or Muir or some similar slightly unusual percussionist) To go for something a bit different, a set I'd find very interesting Robert Fripp (acoustic and electric guitar), Christian Vander (drums, percussion, cymbals... many, many cymbals), Chris Karrer (electric violin, guitar) Would love to see how you could work that out into an album. |

The thing with a lot of these bands is that they'd probably never actually work out together at all. But it is kinda fun, isn't it? Anyway... Vocals - Geoff Tate Guitars - Steve Vai Bass/Backing vox - Geddy Lee Keyboards - Jon Lord Drums/Backing vox - Mike Portnoy -------------

Some interesting line ups have been mentioned here but what I wanted to mention was a rumour that Ian Anderson considered recruiting Kerry Minear for Tull after Gentle Giant threw in the towel. Now that I would love to have heard. Can anyone confirm this? ------------- The answer is never where the question is |

I'm usually not a fan of this game... just can't see those "dream bands" working most of the time. However, I have to admit that I like daydreaming about how this might have sounded: Mike Oldfield - guitar, bass, keyboard Geddy Lee - vocals, bass, keyboard Neil Peart - drums, percussion sometime between '78 and '84. (Of course Geddy and Mike would be taking turns on bass, not play at the same time. )Mike has worked with Jon Anderson, and with drummers like Carl Palmer, Phil Collins, Simon Phillips and Morris Pert, so it's not that much of a stretch. Still probably wouldn't have worked though... just nice to think about. |

Well Sonja was my teen idol, and I got to see Curved Air on the 1974 'reunion' tour, and i can say that she is/was a totally astonishing performer. If you listen to the first three Curved Air albums, it's amazing how many styles she manages to sing in, and sing well.
