Vocals: Jon Anderson - I've always liked his vocal style
Guitar: Robert Fripp - great technical player and composer
Bass: Geddy Lee - for his ric tone only. I'll explain why in a second
Keyboard: Kerry Livgren - I'd have him compose the band's music. Such a darn good composer. I'd stick him on the less challenging keyboard parts
Keyboard 2: Keith Emerson - to play harder keyboard parts
Drums: Neil Peart - I don't really need to explain this
BONUS Strings: David Ragsdale

It's hard for me to think of a perfect line up but the other night I had the amazing idea of what would happen if Syd Barrett and Daevid Allen had started a band together and were the main songwriters.

I have been listening to a bit of Hendrix lately, and I always thought that he and Janis Joplin should have worked together. Then, remembering that there was suposed to have been some interest of Hendrix and ELP to play together, I would think of this line-up I would have loved:

- Janis Joplin: Vocals.
- Jimi Hendrix: Guitar, backing vocals.
- Greg Lake: Vocals, Bass, acoustic guitar.
- Keith Emerson: Keyboards.
- Carl Palmer: Drums.

Since you already have Greg Lake as part of the Line-up, I would much rather have him as the Lead Vocals over Gabriel.

Steve Hackett - Guitar
Alex Lifeson - Guitar
Robert Fripp - Guitar
Tony Banks - Keyboards
Geddy Lee - Bass
Neil Peart - Drums

probably the best lineup I've come up with. The most exquisite players on the planet all in one band. Wouldn't that be something?

anyone remember that show "sliders," in which the heroes are constantly traveling inter-dimensionally? i remember one episode where they're perusing a record store, and look at a record by the "rolling who" - basically, the stones fronted by dalterey. can u imagine if there *are* other dimensions, in which the floyd recorded 'household objects' or whatever... sigh... i can tell u, if i could travel across dimensions, i'd be collecting records along the way... :-)

I just thought about another nice one:

- Jon Anderson: Vocals and other instruments as needed.
- Vangelis: Keyboards.
- Mike Oldfield: Guitars and other instruments as needed.
- The choir and drum ensambles used by Oldfield on Omadawn and / or Incantations.

The perfect line-up is already in place - Trewavas, Portnoy, Morse and Stolt LOL
Or alternately ;  Levin, Portnoy, Rudess, Petrucci...
Well, here's where my imagination runs wild -
              Dave Stewart - Organ (and fuzz-box)
              Hellmutt Hattler - Bass
              Reine Fiske - guitar
              Tim Alexander - drums
              with guest vocalist Sonja Kristina.
Anyway, that's one of my 'perfect' line-ups..........

We've had experiments at perfect lineups already. They didn't work out too well...
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

This is all great fun, but I hope everyone knows that in reality most of these 'bands' would be rubbish. A great band is a chemistry that can't be manufactured. Some very ordinary musicians have made great bands, and the reverse is also true.
