I was going to put this in the poll section but go at it.
Mine would be Steve Howe going at it with Dave Gilmour. That would be interesting.

It's in Roy Harper's album "Headquarters", with Dave Gilmour and Chris Spedding going at it ... and the bass player is John Paul Jones! It's called "Playing the Game Pts 1 - 5".
Awesome rocker ... totally awesome ...

Honestly the Fripp Zappa one......mostly just to hope they'd strike up conversation. And I'd just sit there in awe and completely not understand the high level at which their brains were operating.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.

They played occasional guitar 
Obviously not a-la-Robert Fripp or Steve Hackett
I was semi-joking

Brian May in his good years was indeed amazing and unique, March of the Black Queen being one of the seldom-mentioned prog masterpieces.
Steve Morse deserves all credit too, another master in his own right.

Shawn Lane and Chris Poland (obviously if you know me)
Latimer and Gilmour
Townsend and Akerfeldt (really, their solos are very musical in the metal context, never w**kfests, even when they play quickly)

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I would imagine that one of John's favorites is Frank. But as for him playing with Frank? ... nahhh ... there is too much ego in DT's stuff and you can't do that on Frank's albums ... it's more music than it is ego. John would look kinda silly and childish in the middle of it all.
Better choice would be John going against a John McLaughlin so Mc could show him what to do with notes other than just make a band sound repetitioius! |
YOU sound repetitious!  |
Your comment looks so intelligent in the discussion ... I'm impressed!

I have them together in my dream band on another forum. Imagine the extended free-form jam, with crazy drumming and synths or something in the background

Add Vai and you can make it 3 Steves, would be a bit weird but who knows, talent would not be in shortage! |
How about four, with Morse!
