'Kay, I make a point of making a different band every time this comes up, so I think I'll make my first one without Rick Wakeman.

GIANT CRIMSON GENERATOR

Lead Vocals: Peter Hammill

Guitars: Robert Fripp and Gary Green

Keys/Cello/Vocals: Kerry Minnear

Reeds: David Jackson and Phil Shulman

Violin: David Cross

Bass: Tony Levin

Drums: Bill Bruford

It'd be crazy. Hammill would write lyrics and some music. He'd provide much of the "freakout factor", and would give an element of raw emotion. Fripp and Green would work kind of like Fripp and Belew did, and Green's dynamic soloing would add some energy. Fripp'd do crazy rythmic conundrums and use lots of effects. He'd also do lots of songwriting. Kerry would handle keyboards much like in GG, and his tendency to use lots of clavinet would add a bit of a funk feel. Jackson and P. Shulman would be cool to see on stage togather simply because they're completely different. The polar opposite factor would be kinda cool. Cross would be the "calmness" at the eye of the hurricane. And as for Levin and Bruford, well, they'd provide more of the best rhythm section ever!!!

Just a passing thought, maybe it'd be crap. But it just might work.
