Dream Prog Super 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. 

Drums - Christian Vander
Bass - Philippe Bussonnet
Acoustic bass - Joachim Florent
Keyboards - Hoppy Kamiyama
Keyboards - Dave Stewart
Guitar - Kido Natsui
Guitar - Roger Trigaux
Bassoon - Lindsay Cooper
Violin - Katsui Yuji
Trombone - Bruce Fowler
Drums/Percussion - Yoshida Tatsuya
Vocals - Yoshida Tatsuya, Hoppy Kamiyama, Christian Vander, Stella Vander, Richard Sinclair, Klaus Blasquiz, Robert Wyatt, Damo Suzuki
Sitar - Ravi Shankar

That's a start.

Christian Vander - drums/backup vocals
Jamie Muir - percussion
Joachim Florent - bass
Aymeric Avice - trumpet
Fred Frith - guitar
James MacGaw - guitar
Don Van Vliet - alto sax
Esbjorn Svensson - keys
Gary Burton - vibes
Gérard Hourbette - violin/viola
Claude Engel - lead vocals
Meg Baird - lead vocals/dulcimer
Stella Vander - backup vocals

I think that should just about cut it.  At this point, they'll need a conductor too, so I'd better go with Ennio Morricone for that role

Oh, singing in English, not Kobaian

So the Larks Tongue in Aspic era of king crimson

I love how "straight up rock band" all the lineups are except mine and Jon's.  Oh, and I didn't even notice we both used Florent on the upright bass



Speaking of that, have you heard this, Jon?

His lyrics are provided by an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters.   I'd buy it.

I'd buy it too

Drums- Robert Wyatt
Drums and Percussions- Nick Mason (kind of like a jamie muir thing)
Guitar- Steve Hillage
Bass- Mike Rutherford

It would be a jazz/pop instrumental.

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

well what'dya think about mine then?

Such a supergroup  actually existed: The United Jazz and Rock Ensemble. The reason hardly anyone knows them is that their albums were only available in two shops in Germany or by mail order for a long time. But a supergroup they were; the creme de la creme of European jazz and jazz-rock
