Default 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?

That is alot of people doing vocals!

It would sound like that 'We are the World' from the '80s!

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.
