Love this team. Geddy and Gilmour are so likeable, Lake brings emotional side, Bush - another dimension. Darryl Way is a terrific under the radar pick. Minor complaint - Gavin Harrison was 17 in 1980 which is the "end date" of this project... But I bet he already had good chops.

JD, you came up with a fantastic list of talent as well, but there are 9 musicians - the limit is 7. :)
Sorry man, my band needs all the players to execute their latest album "Close to the Dark Side of a Crimson Brain's Broadway Brick", an 8CD release covering the 2019 US Impeachment Inquiry. Very complex...Very Dark.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Ringo on drums? Interesting choice.

yeah, that's strange. Dave Clark would be better for prog, me thinks.

This one is wild. Fripp is the boss, but Hammill can write all the lyrics he wants - doesn't matter for Bob. I believe Robert will impose his will on this group (with one exception), so the sound will gravitate towards jazzy/classical/avantgarde this time. Cross and Bruford are almost automatic picks, I know for a fact they work well with Fripp and definitely fit the bill here.

Jackson makes the sound 2x richer and he's also capable enough to improvise with the boys.

There is also Greg Lake enlisted, I need him to alternate with Hammill on those epic-scope grand-as-Iliad songs, no matter if they are more of Epitaph or Man-Erg breed. Perhaps there is a room for intricate acoustic guitar pieces with 3 axe-wielders on board...

The only problem I see is Rick Wakeman who always had his way of doing things. I believe he was fed up with constant tuning and quirky studio ideas, but it's likely that this band would focus on impressive stage performance and live recording so he might put his talent to great use.

It's definitely harder to make this band click and stay together for a decade than the previous one... But one album is likely, some twisted cross between Larks' and Godbluff with pinches of Tarkus and Awaken on top.



Wow, what a perfect team. I would still add Robert Wyatt as a guest star :)

Inspired by recent King Crimson, I try out a trio of drummers:
Jaki Liebezeit, Pierre Moerlen, Bill Bruford.
Eloy's Klaus-Peter Matziol is the right bassman against three drummers.
Robert Fripp is well tested to work with three drummers and Mike Oldfield brings in the melodies.
To balance against a too strong King Crimson influence I get Irmin Schmidt in on keyboards and Holger Czukay can add his wave receiver and do the mixing.
Vocals shared by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

I don't know if you can throw together any four musicians and have it work.   There's usually a reason bands stay together and have some success... like musical and personal chemistry.

Howe
Emerson
Lake
Palmer

apart from amusing initials this would have worked. Howe and Emerson had a great deal of mutual respect and would have written some amazing stuff together given half a chance

I'd say

Vocals Jon Anderson
Guitar Steve Howe
Bass Chris Squire
Drums Bill Bruford
Keys Rick Wakeman

But looking for an alternative

Vocals Greg Lake
Guitar  Andy Latimer
Bass Doug Ferguson 
Drums Andy Ward
Keys Peter Bardens

The impossible one which would collapse under its own weight:

Vocals Jon Anderson
Guitar Robert Fripp
Bass Roger Waters
Drums Billy Cobham
Keys Keith Emerson
Trumpet Miles Davis
Flute Ian Anderson

I can see them fighting with wands and clubs in the rehearsal room.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
