Hawkwind never fired Lemmy
King Crimson continued without Fripp after Red, you mean the Adrian Belew band....

tempted to vote for Motorhead rules... so it wasn't exactly a tragedy musically....but would have loved to have had at least a few more Lemmy Hawkwind albums. so I'll go the true musical tragedy... the AOR'ization of Rush and seeing their ugly faces on MTV  ... sure they were only a average run of the mill prog band... but they did give us THE NECROMANCER... and you weren't getting anything close to that in 80's Rush

Bill Bruford being in the hot seat for Calling All Stations?
Or vocals? He did seem to think it was better than drumming according to the ABWH making of video. Can't see it.
Crimson without Fripp...? .... .... ????! Sorry, can we go back to me trying simultaneous linear regressive calculations s'il vous plait? Much easier to imagine.

Don't actually want many of those options, no Hatfield, WTF!! Part of Hawkwind's whole psyche is constantly rotating line up. Crimson without Fripp is unthinkable. I'll go with Damo not leaving CAN.

yeah that was tempting...but Can lived on and prospered without Damo... I'd rate Soon over Babawamma with the best Damo albums. Let's be honest... Can was more than Damo.. it was that groove man.. Liebezeit and Czukay were the soul and musical blood of that group.. they were great before him.. and after him. sh*t Ian.. I could have mumbled my way through a 70's Can album and still have it be a 5 star album

The only one that appeals at all is Bruford taking the drum stool in Genesis. Maybe they'd have made some more decent prog.

Saint Bruford..... helping the leper of prog... I could have dug that. Come on man.. Bruford was a good drummer.. one of many in a genre full of them.. now.. if Carl Palmer or Keith Moon had taken up with Genesis.. whoo HOOO... see their musical quotient kicked up many notches. That would given Genesis a much needed shot in the musical arm in purely being interesting to listen to musically forgetting the odd lyrics or damned live gimmics to keep audiences from sleeping in their seats

As I said, I was struggling to pick one from this list, this was probably barely interested in hearing what the results might be.

yeah.. this was a weak set. The Rush one being the less weak of the weak IMO. I see someone even voted Richard and Camel. One of the great crimes of prog was how underused he was when he was with the band. The option should have been... Richard overthrowing Latimer and forcing him to play with a sock in his mouth and letting one of the truly great prog vocalists sing and not one of the worst. probably reason TWO that f**king Camel burns in the internal fires of McHell. number one... Camel - 2... ELP - 0

Brian Eno never fired from Roxy Music (he didn't leave, he was fired by Bryan Ferry): having some Roxy Music LPs including "Baby's On Fire", "Third Uncle", "Here Come the Warmjets" or "King's Lead Hat" would have been a blast!

Two of these are really speaking to me... King Crimson and Khan.
I would have loved to hear an album of Bruford, Wetton, Cross, Mel Collins and (hopefully) Muir all jamming together with another guitarist. Of course, Cross, Collins and Muir aside, didn't that one really already happen in the form of UK?
The Khan one would be awesome, too. I was never a huge Hatfield & The North fan, but loved Space Shanty, so this one would be ideal for me.
Ended up voting for Khan.

A lot of strange potential in this one, nothing I'd vote for...
... all I think I know for certain is Eno not getting booted out of Roxy would've kept him from a solo career and so eliminated several of the foundations of music as we know it. For the love of all that is holy, if you get the chance to mess with history, don't interfere with that!

Here's one for next poll:
What if Elton John was hired as vocalist/keyboardist for King Crimson after his audition?

Although "Here Come The Warm Jets" with Roxy Music would of been amazing, I voted for Lemmy not being fired from Hawkwind.
There's no way King Crimson would of carried on without Fripp.
Bruford in Genesis would be hilarious, but we wouldn't get any work from them as they'd be arguing still over time signatures!
I'd like to see another poll of these options, but I think the best of them have already been done.

King Crimson continuing without Fripp, they probably would have become a good band.
