mmm...I would have a dark band with many acoustic breaks and two keys, one very classic (ala Wakeman or Emerson) and the other very electronic (ala Brian Eno)...with some Tool like singing and lyrics...
mmm, I should clone myself...

Atmospheric. There would be a huge emphasis on the vocals, and in terms of skill I wouldn't be the greatest player in the world, if you know what I mean. Our playing wouldn't SUCK, but you know what I mean. I would try too be very free with my music. I would most always be bound too a darker feel, but I wouldn't be stuck being depressing. I'd try too make a nice happy song with a good little twist too make it my own and uniqe.
I think for a while I'd try maybe too hard too mix an electronic and acoustic sound. There would be no really simple songs. The songs that would be written pretty simply would become complex from attempts of using different effects.
The studio would be hard, I'd be spending too long too write fifty different versions of one song too see which both conveys the mood, and works with the flow of the album.
At least, thats just what I think Id' do.

I'd probably end up sounding something like Porcupine Tree with less
metal because I listen mostly to psychedelic and progressive rock.

Having done a lot of my own stuff, (playing guitars, bass, keys and
programming drums) I'm surprised by how my own music sounds, like a
cross between Pink Floyd and Radiohead with a dash of (Bladerunner era)
Vangelis thrown in. Weirdly I can also detect bits of CSNY and a lot of
acoustic Led Zepp and some modern electronica in there too...
I say sounds like, but it doesn't really as I conspicuously lack any real talent whatsoever....

At the moment my preferences are all over the place (metal, symphonic, neo jazz etc etc) so any band were I play all instruments will probably be just as eratic.

I haven't heard you guys playing (or your clones), so I can't say whether or not you (or your clones) really
sound like the musicians mentioned, but with me it comes down to what
I'd like to sound like, what I think I sound like when listening to
myself play, and what I really sound like.
As a band of mes I'd like to have the virtuosity of, oh, say ELP, in my
deranged head I think my mes sound is closer to the Sex Pistols, but
mes would really sound like a preschooler music class -- minimes
hehe (and yes, that is a step or two down from The Sex Pistols).
I am a bad multi-instrumentalist, though I do play a pretty mean kazoo... Any prog kazoo ensembles out there?

I don't know what a band of "me's" would sound like but they'd be five very sexy and handsome SOB's!

A band of mes would have a good solid rhythm section, but a guitar player who could only played G, A, C and D, a keyboard player who only knew major chords and a singer who couldn't really sing.

I would be the free jazz icons Peter Brotzmann Sextet, but with some more lyrical sections during which I'd like to sound somewhat like Eric Dolphy, and possibly with Alexander von Schlippenbach on piano in lieu of Fred Van Hove.

I don't know which style we would play but knowing my skills as a musician there would be good Pink Floyd-style guitar playing, basic bass and keyboards, bad drumming and really awful singing.

Mine would be John Weathers on drums, Geddy Lee/Mike Gordon on bass,
Rick Wright on keys and guitar is just all over the place from Billy
Corgan to Eric Clapton to David Gilmour to Fripp...
I would say a cross between Floyd and Rush with Gentle Giant drumming.

Well, I sing, play keyboards and dabble on the drums, so I'd probably sound like one of the italian bands inspired by ELP. but I'd really wanna sound like nothing ever done before, of course..

Well, as a songwriter, if you are asking what my influences are - and thus what a band with me playing all instruments and singing would sound like - my strongest influences are (in no particular order) Genesis, 10CC, Klaatu and Elton John, with a dash of a few others.
Peace.

if there was a band with a you clone on drums, a clone singing, clone on guitar... etc,
what would the band sound like?
mine would probalby sound like a mix between Pavement and 'Fish Rising' and 'L' by steven hillage. except the guitar playing would sound more like syd barretts and john faheys (as ive been told).
daevid allens gong would have alot of influence too.
