They'd better mix Fripp pretty low on the recordings LOL

First of all, welcome to the forum, Delirium. Just a tip; if you need to see if a topic has been done before, you can use the search function located in the upper right hand corner of any forum page. Yes, this has been done many times, but I pick totally different strange combos every time, so it doesn't matter to me especially. Big smile

Yes, I'm new to posting, so forgive me if this topic has been done before, or worse, done to death, but I'm curious to see what others come up with for a Fantasy Band line-up so to speak. Rules are simple: You can pick anyone alive or dead, located anywhere in the world but they all must have been alive and musically initiated during some same point in time. So for instance, you couldn't put Jimi Hendrix and Steve Wilson in the line-up together.

Let me start off with mine:

Vocals - Greg Lake or John Wetton, a la In The Court of the Crimson King and Red, respectively
Guitar - Steve Howe, Fragile style, particularly South Side of the Sky and Five Per Cent For Nothing
Guitar - Robert Fripp, stylistically Red, Starless and Bible Black, and Lark's Tongue in Aspic
Bass - Roger Waters, Meddle-era tone and style - Echoes!
Drums - Bill Bruford, Yes and King Crimson, not projects like Earthworks and his stuff with Patrick Moraz
Keys / Synth / Organ / Mellotron, etc. - Kerry Minnear, Acquiring the Taste, Black Cat and The Moon is Down in particular
Organ / Synth - Patrick Moraz, solely because of Relayer

I know mine isn't that varied, common names and classic eras, but that's my game right now. I might submit another one when my mood changes.
