That aside he is/was a great lyricist, *architect, concepts & ideas man, and band leader.  Not to mention being a more than decent bassist & vocalist. *in a musical sense Actually, I think you are right. If only he could het on with the other members of the band... and yet, for a little while, they did get along... well enough to work together, and magic happened.

Someone beat me to Steven Wilson, so I am going to go a completely different direction.

Wilson has been remastering the greats, with much approval, so he's my idea of a producer for whatever project.

^ Rather than dead funny, sorry that that comes across as a tasteless and bad dad joke. It's true that I only thought about living people for this exercise when I saw the topic, rather than a dream option or holographically/ virtually resurrected option.

If he would do it, I'd love to see a collaboration between Steven Wilson, with Steve Hackett as co-composer. 

I have to admit, I've never been much of a Peart fan. He was a great drummer and lyricist, but I never found his playing particularly interesting, at least not to my ear. But that's just me.

^ It’s not even so far-fetched that we one need accept some supernatural, unearthly heaven. Celebrities, including musicians are being resurrected digitally using holographic technology and other things. One could create a digital supergroup. “Ooh heaven is a place on earth”. Maybe like in a Black Mirror universe, dead and not dead musicians digital copies will be interacting and performing on servers.

Those 3 for me too, and they've all be involved in a number of different bands and have run at least one, Yoshida has been involved in a ridiculous amount of creative bands.

All three are creative, show versatility, have been involved in different projects and are accomplished musicians.   Tatsuya Yoshida has been an incredibly busy musician, and very creative projects. What energy on the kit and all of those projects. With Peart, I’m not aware of him doing much outside of Rush and I don’t know that he been really pushing the envelope throughout his career. I’m not knocking him, just sometimes surprised at the pedestal he is often put on both as a drummer and as a creative talent generally — seen many people who present the attitude that he is obviously the best despite their ignorance when it comes to a great many others, so contrarians respond that Peart is particularly overrated.
