Drums - Gene Hoglan

Piano and clavinet, occasional guitar- Steven Wilson

Organ and synthesizer - Rick Wright

Lead vocal - Freddie Mercury

Harmony vocal - the rest of Queen

Saxophone - Mel Collins

I'd be interested in hearing how that band would turn out. Probably pretty jazzy.

Oh, and Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond writing all lyrics

I think this really has been done to death.

Nevertheless, each time the question arises, I always manage to vary it a little, so today, my line-up will be:

Keyboards - Andy Tillison

Acoustic Guitar - Steve Hackett

Electric Guitar - Roine Stolt

Bass Guitar - Jonas Reingold

Drumkit - Phil Collins

Vocals/Guitar - Steve Wilson

That will do for today.

Indeed, I noticed you were new, so no explanation needed. And I wasn't criticising, just commenting that this is one of the more frequent topics!

And welcome to the forum! Always nice to see new people here.

Each piece as amorphous as the other - Each piece in its lack of shape a lie

-Vocals: Peter Hammill

-Bass: Chris Squire

-Guitar: Robert Fripp

-Keyboards: Hugh Banton

-drums: Bill Brufford

Violin: Jeanluc Ponty

and the last track on the album is a 25 minute long epic featuring a duet by Hammill and Jon Anderson (nice contrast), and solos form Rick wakeman and allan holdsworth.

Jan Akkerman - Guitar

Geddy Lee - Bass

Bill Bruford - Drums

Jurgen Fritz - Keyboards

Mike Patton - Vocals

Ian Underwood - Keyboards, winds, and other fiddle-faddle

And a long fight about just what genre they could play would begin...

All the old familiar choruses come crowding in a different key: Melodies decaying in sweet dissonance.

hmmm...hmm..hm...Since I haven't yet answered any threads of this kind, I'll make an effort.

One option:
Mikael Akerfeldt - vocals and guitar and whatever instruments he can squeeze a sound from.
Robert Fripp - guitar
Mike Portnoy - drums, percussions
Devin Townsend - additional vocals and some of the weird sound he carries.
Jamie Muir - percussions and funny playin
Bill Bruford - drums and percussions
Peter Hammill - additional vocals, guitar, organ
Jean-Luc Ponty - electric violin
Ian Anderson - flute
Keith Emerson - keyboards
me (scared as sh*t by the lineup) - additional keyboards and guitar and percussions and all kinds of weird instruments
and if possible, the spirit or reincarnation of Frank Zappa - whatever he wants to do
the reincarnation of Sid Barrett - appearance and some wailing
and behind all this the whole lineup of Godspeed You! Black Emperor heard on 'Lift Your...'
and all of them contribute great ideas which blend really well. 50% of the recordings and performances would utterly fail, but 50% be celestial and reflecting greatness and masterpieceness never seen before.
The second option:
Mikael Akerfeldt
Peter Lindgren
Martin Lopez
Martin Mendez
Per Wiberg
and me
Option three:
Robert Fripp
Bill Bruford
John Wetton
and me
Option number four:(as a live performance)
(a scene with a castle, a mean dragon and a good-looking princess)

A prog-protagonist/genius with a guitar arrives to save the princess from the dragon.
He plays a solo of 4 and a half hours. The dragon kills himself out of boredom.
The protagonist arrives to the princess' bedroom and plays a solo with all the techniques and tunes he learned in the last year of the conservatory.
The princess escapes looking for a heavy-metal protagonist.
