Close To The Edge is the proof . All the fantasy line ups named here ..well we can never know
One actual supergroup that formed briefly for a one off beneift concert in the 90's was very promising. That included
Keith Emerson (keyboards)
Joe Walsh (guitar)
Simon Phillips (drums)
Jeff Baxter (guitar)
John Entwistle (bass)
Rick Livingstone (vocals)
Modestly called themselves 'The Best'. The DVD of the concert is great. Pity they didn't continue and put out an album of original songs. Would perhaps have liked a different vocalist (Chris Thompson ideally) then it would have been perfect.

Dream Theater without James LaBrie. He sucks.

Well, for me yes, the "Classic" Yes line-up was great on all it's aspects, the musicianship of every member, plus the writing capabilites, music, melody... just everything is perfect on those two albums. Best line-up, best musicianship, best writing, best songs, best albums, best everything.

When you said "ideal PA lineup," at first I thought you meant a band composed of members of this site! Which would probably be an interesting topic, too. You could kick out everyone in my first suggested lineup except for Rob and I, add Phideaux and Smurph, and then a drummer...who plays drums around here? |
 That would be pretty cool. If you guys needed a guitarist or a piano player, I'm the guy!  Austin (Horizons) plays drums and I assume he's quite good considering he can play Mars Volta material.

I agree that was the best ensemble ever with very little that could have been improved from a technical viewpoint.

For me, my perfect line-up is the one of Yes on Fragile and Close to the edge, just the best of the best on each instrument.
However, Grace for Drowing last year got me thinking about a plausible great line-up that could be formed this days, perhaps it could even be the new King Crimson:
Robert Fripp on guitars.
Steven Wilson on vocals and guitars.
Jordan Rudess on Keyboards.
Theo Travis on sax and flute.
Tony Levin on bass.
Gavin Harrison on drums.
Dream on...

^ Another MO? Pro'ly another band we could dream about. And I bet Pastorius and Fripp would sound awesome together.

I have a hard time seeing Fripp and Wetton together without hearing Red (kinda the reason I put them together in mine ). I wonder how well Fripp and Peart would get along... If it worked, I'm sure the sounds would be killer!

I don't know who'd be in my band, as long as they played Acid-Skiffle.
Any suggestions?
