Dream supergroups
 

So, this has probably been done before, but I wanted to share my own and get ideas from others.

If any living musicians could form a band, what would you you pick them to be. For example my choice all-girl band would be Alison Mosshart on lead/vocals, Charlotte Cooper on Bass/vocals and Meg White on drums.

My supergroup, overall would be Alex Turner on lead/vocals, Damon Albarn on bass/vocals & Jack White on percussion. < This probably wouldn't end up sounding that great.

Thoughts?

yes, i'm a musical necrophiliac

Wow this is a excellent list of musicians. I heard of Stevie Vaughn. He is a total genius.

Vocals and songwriting: bob dylan
Dual lead guitar: Santana and Hendrix
Bass, vocals and songwriting: Paul McCartney
Keys: Garth hudson and ray manzerak

Proggy/metally/technical band. hehe, can't help it

Guitar: Robert Fripp
Bass: Les Claypool
Keyboards: Tony Banks

It's probably a good thing that this is only in my imagination...

I like both of these a lot! I'd tweak a few but I love the premise of MJK, Peart, and Claypool. Nice Tony Levin/Danny Carey combo on the second, I just wonder how it'd go with Waits. I like Waits but I'd choose someone else.

Les Claypool and Jean Baudin - Bass

Neil Peart - Drums

Mike Patton - Vocals and effects

the keyboard player from Sigh

and then the guitarists could be any number of people, but I would say Andy McKee would be fun, Buckethead of course would be great, Mattias Eklundh

I'm hoping they would make fairly mellow but groove inspired psychedelic space rock trip-out tunes that average 15 minutes each... jammin for days, maybe just improv.

Another Band I dig is

Popo Stars
Band Leader, Guitar Acoustic & Vocals: Bob Dylan
Guitars & Vocals: Prince
Vocals: Paul MacCartney

Patricia Morrison-2nd Bass Guitar
Meytal Cohen-Drums
Jen Ledger-Drums

EDIT: I wanted to add one of my favorite female vocalist's Doro Pesch,but had way too many vocalist's..Maybe she'd be like a special guest or something,hell i dunno.

Also I did'nt add any keyboard players..but maybe they could have like special guests in that area as well.

Yea i know..a lot of guitarists,vocalists,bassists etc..Be good for lots of live jams tho..

I'd go with

Robert Plant: Vocals
Jack White: Guitar
Jack Bruce: Bass
Mitch Mitchell: Drums

I don't think it would sound horrible.

Vocals: Robert Smith
Bass: Flea
Guitar: James Dean Bradfield
Drums: Dave Grohl

If they were to form a band, the world would explode.

This would probably be an outright crash and burn group but here goes:
