Good choices all around, but if I had to pick one, I wouldn't be too picky and just want Transatlantic back for one or two more albums.

Beyond that, I'd like to see the following made-
Tony Banks (Genesis) - Keyboards
Steve Howe (Yes) - Guitars
John Wetton (King Crimson) - Bass & Vocals
Neil Peart (Rush) - Drums & Percussion

-Marc.
I know what I like and I like what I know. I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will. If I die tomorrow, I`d be alright because I believe that after we`re gone, the spirit carries on.

In my very humble opinion, supergroups are never a very good idea, precisely because of the egos involved. Most human beings have much bigger egos than they believe, and artists of any kind develop even bigger ones because of the attention and flattery to which they are subjected.

BTW, if I were to choose one, I'd choose a supergroup that actually existed and lasted the space of a single album - that is, UK's first lineup, with John Wetton (bass/vocals), Eddie Jobson (keyboards/violin), Allan Holdsworth (guitar) and Bill Bruford (drums). How much better can you get?
The lineup of UK is OK, but the music was weak.


Weak?!  

...interesting.

Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) - Flute, Vocals, Lyrics
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Vocals, Electric +Acoustic Guitar
Martin Barre (Jethro Tull) - Electric Guitar
Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - Bass Guitar, Lyrics
Keith Emerson (ELP) - Keyboards
Carl Palmer (ELP) - Drums
Peter Sinfield (King Crimson) - lyrics
 
 
Also, and interesting idea, but it would be interesting to have a second drummer, in which case I choose Nick Mason from Pink Floyd.  And of course, this whole lineup rests on the assumption that Waters lets Anderson and Sinfield write lyrics too.

Guitar - Steve Hackett
Guitar - Ritchie Blackmore
Vocals - Euan Lowson (Pallas)
Bass - Chris Squire
Keys - Tony Banks
Drums - Cozy Powell
 
It would either sound like a train-wreck, or, just perhaps, Blackmore & Hackett would be trading classical & blues licks, Squire & Powell would have a groove going, Banks would be 'Tron-ing his heart out, and while that's all happening, Euan Lowson is "stabbing" himself & coughing up blood!!
