How about a double quartet?

Brufford         drums/percussion                             Gavin Harrison
Levin               bass/stick/warr gtr/fretless bass    Trey Gunn, or Mick Karn
Fripp               guitars                                                Hackett or Holdsworth
Gabriel            vox/flute/keys                                       Steven Wilson or Moraz

produced by Eno, mixed by Wilson

What we need, I think, is a souped-up version of the Bruford-Levin Band:

Bill Bruford: drums
Tony Levin: bass
David Torn or even Robert Fripp: guitar
(with guest appearances by Steve Hackett, Steve Howe and/or Allan Holdsworth)
Andy Tillison: keyboards
(with guest appearances by Patrick Moraz, Django Bates and Dave Stewart)
Jon Anderson (?), Kevin Ayers (!), Annette Peacock (!!), Bryan Ferry (?!): vocals

P.S. Let the musicians write and play ALL the music they want to play, and ONLY if they really feel like playing.

P.P.S. Additional guest stars on sax, violin (or even viola, Geoff!) and marimba would be a plus!

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Vocals: Gildenglow
Guitars: Petrucci, or Paul Gilbert
Bass: Chancellor from Tool
Drums: Portnoy. I just love him.
Keyboards: Neal Morse. He is great with keyboards, but I think he is one of the best composers out there, that's why I add him.

This is just one of my setups and I have a lot more in my mind.

So, we all have our prog heroes but, what if you could make a fantasy prog band, who would you pick? We need a Singer, Guitarist (or two), Keys man (synths, mellotron, hammond), bass, drums/precussion. But if you want to add flute, sax etc, its all good! Let the debate commence!
