IF you could make a supergroup of prog musicians (aside from Asia and ELP.....), who would you pick? My dream prog super group: Vocals- Peter Gabriel (Genesis) Guitar- Robert Fripp (King Crimson) Bass- Chris Squire (Yes) Keys- Jon Lord (Deep Purple) Drums- Carl Palmer (ELP) -------------

These are supposed to be dreams/hypotheticals. I wish it were true though..... -------------

Reporting a person makes you that much more of a man, doesn't it? |

Ah. See, the "supergroup"/"dream band" thing tends to periodically come around and its typically new users who propose the idea. There's nothing inherently bad about this, though it does get a bit tedious since most of the permutations seem to involve the same elements. With that, I suppose we can spice it up: Brian Eno- Treated zither Jamie Muir- Percussion Mark Hollis- Vocals |

Can you imagine the arguments/bust ups this band would have? 9 on the richter scale maybe
 I know there have been several million threads of this nature but they are completely harmless as far as I know and don't represent a threat to wildlife or the ozone layer.
I guess my selection would be:
Vocals -Chris Thompson (Manfred Manns Earth Band)
Guitar - Jan Akkerman (Focus)
Bass - Klaus Peter -Matziol (Eloy)
Keys - Keith Emerson (ELP)
Drums - Neil Peart (Rush)
5 different countries represented and hopefully a bit more harmony!

Could be interesting to replace Howe by someone who gets a more 'powerful' guitar sound in a classc Yes lineup. Not Rabin, someone like... Blackmore ?  -------------  One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D |

| I once read that if Keith Emerson ever wanted a guitar player on ELP, then it would have been Howe. I guess it would have been very interesting to hear that. |

I think Jamie Muir should play percussion in my band I mean, as awesome as I think my drummer is, there are some things only a top-notch percussionist can do |

I always look at the members of Transatlantic and think about who could replace each of the members if any of them should quit the band. You basically have a dynamic drummer, a versatile base player, and two very good all-rounders. John Mitchell (It Bites, Arena etc) would be a good replacement for one of the all-rounders. Rikard Sjöblom (Beardfish) could also fill one of those slots as well. Rob van der Linden (5Bridges) is a great drummer with an obvious ability to compose quality prog rock. John Jowitt (IQ) could seal the deal on bass Put these four together and I think they would make some beautiful music together. |

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. |

And does "reporting" mean what I think it does? Going up to the officials and pointing out that someone has made a mistake?
