Back during the height of their careers, which musicians would have formed an interesting supergroup for you/ would have made a successful lineup?

Hammill. Cross. Giles. Schetagne/Muir. Haskell.

I'd have loved it.

I suppose this thread falls under be careful what you wish for. 
 
Wetton/Howe/Palmer/Downes.  Actually, one of my favorite bands, but not much love for them here on PA.  And although I like their output, just imagine what Asia might have sounded like as a prog band with this cast of characters.

Hint, for this to become an interesting discussion, please comment on your suggestions. For example, why do you think those people would have worked well together?

This gets my nomination for best "dream band" I've ever seen. Haha, this would be incredibly bizarre and epic, and it wouldn't work in a million years. LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL

Great thought into it though! Labrie and Beefheart in the same band... WOAH. LOL

I wish those XYZ (Ex-Yes-Zeppelin) rumours would have come to fruition.
 
I think it was going to be:

Thanks, but somehow I forgot Zappa and Akerfeldt with the Spice Girls as back-up singers. ;)

To answer this more seriously... Erm, I'm drawing a blank:

Billy Cobham
Didier Lockwood
Jannick Top
Frank Zappa

Prog Band - The United States of America
 
Tom Scholz (Boston) - Guitars/Keyboards
Peter Cetera (Chicago) - Bass/Vocals
Robby Steinhart (Kansas) - Violin
Bernie Marsden (Alaska) - Guitars
Paul Richards (California Guitar Trio) - Guitar
Hal Blaine (America) - Drums
 
This would probably be more of a really good AOR band than a prog band, but since I like all of these bands, my little harebrained scheme of taking members of bands with US location names might produce some decent music.

Cool idea.  Personally I'd want to throw in a member of OREGON, which is a very good jazz-rock band in the archives -- maybe have Collin Walcott on tabla, sitar and dulcimer.  Bt maybe they wouldn't gel that well as an AOJR band.

Oh my god, can I join this band??!!  Please??  I shall rattle a (frankly unnecessary) tambourine and sing back-up vocals with aplomb. LOL  If not that, I could be Assistant Roadie In Charge Of Small Items.  Plastic bag containing Beefheart's lyric collection, Blasquiz's claves and selection of combs (for the Ultimate Beard), you name it! LOL

Not sure whether all the personalities would fit in the room, but let's assume it's a very large room...

Zappa (on guitar and conceptual continuity)
Rundgren (on vocals and high emotion - and on pyramid - and in lycra)
Vander (on percussion, and on fire)

They would make a concept album about a cosmically enlightened ancient egyptian interstellar poodle who knows the true meaning of the verb: to love. Big%20smile

Absolutely!  Things didn't work out well with LaBrie, truth be told he was being too much of a diva, so we were forced to cut TheCheese, and have been looking for a replacement. LOL
