Russell Allen (Symphony X) - vocals
Tony Banks (Genesis) - keyboards
Eddie Jobson (UK [etc]) - electric violin
Jonas Reingold (Flower Kings) - bass
Andrew Latimer (Camel) - guitar
Simon Phillips (Toto [etc]) - drums

(Not sure what kind of music would come forth from this...)

basically that is a 'supergroup' which is not what the OP is looking for (and there have been countless threads on the subject already)

Also it was supposed to be more modern musicians although admittedly some have ignored that. Wink

I have always wondered what a collaboration between Wilson and Morse could sound like. I think that those two are amongst the greatest of "The Modern Era". Both are remarkably talented. Both were raised on classic Prog, both have a great Love and appreciation for the "Classics". Both they are both quite different (Yin Yang, Light and Darkness etc.) A working together might have yielded some remarkable progressive music. The working together between Wilson and Akerfeldt ( Opeth being another one of My favorites) was good but far from great. The previously mention couple of Wilson and Morse might have been epic.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:11

^ Somehow I can never see that happening. Morse generally makes music that is very positive and full of that 'religious exaltation' he loves while Wilson is all downbeat cynical and melancholic most of the time. I like both a lot but I just can't see it working Wink

Benny Greb on drums and some lineup of prog dudes. I dunno, like Akerfeldt of Opeth on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass, Ian Gillian on vocals, Thom Yorke arranging orchestration.

...Zombie Thelonious Monk on keys and Busdriver as MC, lol.

It would be an atonal pastry. lol. so much of what I typed is incompatible. LOL

richardh is right. I mentioned a super group too. I guess I'd still like to hear Benny Greb in an art-rock sort of context. Like, a guitar-heavy art-rock context. He's one of those drummers that is an orchestra unto himself.

Well, I'm not one in favor of the idea that older musicians can't be modern musicians, if that's the idea, so I'm just going to go ahead and presume they can be if they're currently active and attempting new stuff. In my mind's eye, I would like to see Adrian Belew and Henry Kaiser team up on a regular or semi-regular basis. There are many similarities between them. Both have put out pure solo albums. Both have worked successfully with other accomplished guitarists. Both are experimental. Both like to mess with timbre and with gadgets that mess with their timbre. Yet they have highly contrastive styles. I think they would feed well off of each other.
