That's a start.

There is no way that would actually sound good. My head hurts just thinking about it. Why so many Japanese people, what happened to the European prog? And what the hell is Ravi Shankar doing there?

I don't know, I don't waste mental energy on things that are never going to happen. :P

i disagree ravi shenkar would sound amazing in a prog / avant group

You're right, it has been done before. Not with such a limitation on the lineup, though...us avant fans can't quite make a "dream band" without the various other instruments. Wink

Agree.

One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

What's Ravi Shankar doing there? Looks to me like he's playing sitar.

Agree but my lineup would be different

Bass, Keyboards, Pedals and Vocals = Gary Lee Weinrib

Guitars, Pedals, Backing Vocals = Alexander Zivojinovich

Drums, cymbals, cowbells, assorted noises = Neil Ellwood Peart

Well... I wouldn't want them to do traditional prog, something more experimental, but..... (I'm going to have multiple vocalists and I'm going to add a couple roles such as "songwriter")

Songwriter/Vocalist: Daniel Gildenow
Songwriter/Vocalist: Casey Crescenzo
Songwriter/Vocalist: Nicholas Chapel
Songwriter/Violinist/Cellist/Pianist: Yann Tiersen
Miscellaneous instruments: Sufjan Stevens
Guitars: Robert Fripp
Guitars: Steve Rothery
Guitars: George Harrision
Songwriter/Programming: Garm
Drums: Christian Vander
Drums: Chris Maitland
Keyboards/programming: Gavin Castleton
Flute: Jacek Zasada

This project will be massive enough to resurrect George Harrison Rawks

Mmmmm.... JOHN Portnoy? It's either John, or Kevin. One must be called John or Kevin to be allowed to play in DT.

Now, perhaps this would have been cool to hear:
Greg Lake: Vocals, additional bass and guitars.
Robert Fripp: Guitars, additional mellotron.
Adrian Belew: Guitars, additional vocals.
Ian McDonald: Flute, mellotron, additional vocals.
David Cross: Violin, additional Mellotron.
Keith Tippet: Piano.
John Wetton: Bass, additional vocals.
Tony Levin: Stick.
Bill Bruford: Drums and percussions.
Jamie Muir: Additional percussions.

An all-star King Crimson Line-up. In the 70's, when Lake's voice was still magnificent.

Or also, something like:
Annie Haslam: Vocals.
John Tout: Keyboards.
Ian Anderson: Flute, Vocals.
Martin Barre: Guitars.
Michael Rutherford: Bass.
Phil Collins: Drums, Vocals

Or perhaps the rhythm section could be changed for:
Greg Lake: Bass, Vocals.
Carl Palmer: Drums.

Guitars may be changed for Steve Howe or Steve Hackett too.
Flute and/or keyboards may be changed for Ian McDonald too.
