Well it just doesn't seem to let up, Both Vangelis and Alan White join so many other musical greats this week in the mighty hereafter.

I'm sure this may have been done before, but what the hey.

Put together your All Star Zombie Band of rock legends that have shed this mortal coil since 1970 (just to give it some limits). Multiple musicians can share the duties of a single instrument if it makes sense. But let's not have a band with 4 drummers and 6 guitarists just for the sake of naming names. Assume their abilities are pure and undiminished now that they are of the astral plane.

I'll start...

Piano - Keith Emerson
Organ - Jon Lord
Synths - Vangelis
Bass - John Entwistle, Chris Squire
Drums - Keith Moon
Percussion - Neil Peart
Electric Guitar - Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen
Acoustic Guitar - Greg Lake
Vocals - David Bowie, Greg Lake
Backing Vocals - Klaus Nomi, Freddie Mercury
Violin - Robbie Steinhardt
Song Writers - Robert Palmer, John Lennon
Producer - Don Kirshner
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

As much as I like or love most of these guys, I still think this sextet would sound absolutely horrible:)
