band of yous

If I had to choose bands.... I'd say genesis and pink floyd.  Crossing David Gilmours sound with Steve Hacketts would be so awesome my that head would explode.

I would rather cross musicians to get the sound I wanted though, for example I would cross Bill Brufod and Ginger baker to get my ideal drummer, Geddy Lee and Mike Rutherford to get my ideal bassist, Tony Banks and Rick Wakeman for keyboards, etc, etc...

It would sound like garbage.

A drunken wombat could beat me in a drumb battle, my keyboard skills are limited to the synth lines from YYZ, and my bass skills are average at best. As far as guitar, well, I'd be better of with a keytar (see keyboard skills).

Yes + Kansas + Camel + Jethro Tull + The Beatles + Pink Floyd + Supertramp + ELP = My Band

That band would be just me with several devices, not musical instruments. Me and a computer. The sound... as weird and diverse as possible, as long as I feel good about it. Probably between very crude procesed folk music and abstraction.

Mine would be a mix of Dream Theater style riffery, arranged in a Mr. Bungle manner of weirdness (and songwritingwise) and shift back and forth between psychedelica, prog metal, and avant garde

Well, first of all I'd have to get better to realize my musical ideas, but it'd sound like a mix of these bands probably:

-Porcupine Tree (The catchiness, the vocals, the relaxedness, the riffiness lol)
-Rush (The classic feel and light use of synth sounds and chord-heavy guitar)
-Opeth (The soft vocals, acoustic bits)
-Dream Theater (The epic quality to some of the tracks)
-Pain of Salvation (The vocals and wierd structures)
-Ayreon (The variety)
-Camel (The laid-back nature and beautiful harmonies)
-ELP (The classic sound and craziness)
-Nobuo Uematsu (The great orchestral themes, etc.)
-Pink Floyd (Spaciness, relaxedness, catchiness, sweeping guitar)
-Caravan (catchiness)
-Transatlantic (classic prog sound, long songs)
-Genesis (The poetic nature and great harmonies)

Others:
Spock's Beard, Angra, Yes, King Crimson, OSI, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Gentles Giant

It would be some sort of Art Rock/Symphonic Prog/Space Rock/Psychadelic amalgamation with some Prog Metal influences. So, something like this....

Vocals = Camel/Pink Floyd/Porcupine Tree/Opeth (the lighter side) style

Guitar/Bass = All of the things I listed

Drums = Dream Theater/Rush/Porcupine Tree/Camel/ELP/Pink Floyd/Transatlantic/Spock's Beard

I dunno.

Dream Theater

im a solo act and my stuff is very reminiscent of Harmoniums 5 seasons...and i hadnt heard them untiul a few weeks ago, been playing music for years.

I would have to say:  Terry Bozzio on drums; Tony Levin on bass; and, Steve Stevens on guitar(s)... ... Oh, yeah (forgot):  that is already 'Black Light Syndrome.'
