Hey what´s up!?!?!?! I always like to imagine what would happen if my favorite musicians would play in one band...so I sayd myself, thats a good question to ask, and where could I make that question if not here..???
So, how would your dream prog band be???
Mine would be:
Peter Gabierl (voice)
Robert Fripp (guitar and devices)
Chris Squire (bass guitar)
Bill Bruford (drums )
and I guess it would be kind of a heavy fusion-symphonic with great vocals...

others said.

A hard one really..but I shall try.
70's all-stars:
Peter Gabriel - Vocals
Robert Fripp - Guitars
Keith Emerson - Keyboards
Neil Peart - Drums
Lemmy - Bass
Note: I would also like Edgar Froese playing some extra keys and
guitars and Ian Anderson going nuts with his flute. Now there's your
(or my) ultimate prog rock band!
And then a modern band:
Mikael Åkerfeldt - Vocals
Omar A Rodrigues-Lopez - Guitars
John Muyng - Bass
Keiko Kumagai - Keyboards (just to add some girl power )
Mattias Olsson - Drums
