Only Yes/Genesis/ELP/King Crimson/UK men to choose from. Yawn. Let people make their own free choices. Here's mine which I thought up some weeks ago: British art rock band formed in 1972, called Daylight: Dusty Springfield - voc (fantastic emotional singer) Justin Hayward - g, voc (after Moody Blues' breakup) Ian McDonald - kb, sax, fl (what was he doing at that time, anyway?) Graham Smith - violin (played later for P. Hammill/VDGG) Eberhard Weber - bass (brings the jazz influence) Stephen Lipson - dr, perc (retired from music after Gracious' breakup) Daylight made art rock that has elements from entertainment vocal music, jazz and classical music. Its biggest fault is that it never existed - but it COULD have, right? |

What's the point of mixing different ingredients of beer, wisky, vodka, coca-cola and so on, guys? Everyone played in the group he was destined to. I'm not sure that if some "monsters of prog" had played together anything could be better than it was. |

Lake, Howe, Emerson, Squire, Collins. But maybe it would be a horrible band |

I agree, the list to choose from should be more varied. My personal dream team is this, although the styles would probably not blend, but they are my favorite musicans in the listed categories: vocals - Peter Hammill Somehow this is more or less a fusion combo, with an odd Peter Hammill thrown in for good measure, although the musicians worked in other contexts too.

Well, it looks like the poll indicates Yes (Anderson-Howe-Squire) with Carl Palmer on drums and a guest keyboardist! ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

OK THIS ONE IS MADE UP: BAND: "Evaporated Moon" GENRE: pre Progressive Art - Rock / Psychedelic. MEMBERS: Toni Iommi (Guitars), David Byron (Vocals), Rick Wakeman (Mellotron, Organ & Keyboards), Ginger Baker (Drums), Greg Lake (Bass Guitar). BIOGRAPHY: Formed in 1967 by the above members who wanted to do something different with 4 spectacular albums they didn't quite make it but remain the best underated prog rock group of the 60s/70s. Sadly the group split in early 1971.

Vocals/guitar: David Gilmour
Bass: Geddy Lee or Ray Shulman Drums: Neil Peart or Bill Bruford Keys: Tony Banks Yes, I'm aware that Gilmour wouldn't really mesh very well with this rhythm section, but ah well...

Anderson lead vocals with Collins on drums (harmony) and Hackett, Banks and Squire Alternatively Freddie Mercury could take Jon Andersons place if someone could wake him. ------------- Eternity |

>Is this thing made up to create Genesis, Yes, ELP and King Crimson or to combine them Dude, I was only allowed 25 choices when creating this poll, which means 5 choices per instrument. Who would suggest over Banks (Genesis and solo), Emerson (The Nice, ELP, ELPowell, solo), Jobson (UK, Roxy Music, Tull, etc.), Moraz (Refuge, Yes, Moody Blues, Bruford/Moraz), Wakeman (Yes and solo)? I think I covered a pretty broad range. And I think your a critic.

Greg Lake Steve Howe Keith Emerson Carl Palmer Chris Squire I would have Peter Gabriel as the lyricist but not a great singer compared to Anderson, Lake or Wetton! He can't sustain a note without his voice warbling! |

My fave of the above musicians would be the classic Yes line-up: Jon, Steve, Chris, Rick, Alan.
But to create my own supergroup, I'd like to have: Jon Anderson - vocals Steve Hillage - guitars Tony Levin - bass Geoff Downes - keyboards Mike Portnoy - drums I would call them Astral Delight. ------------- He who stands on toilet must be high on pot! |

| How about a gay supergroup......Geddy Lee (Bass), George Michael (Guitar), Boy George (Vocals), Elton John (Keyboards), Jon Moss (drums)................anyone with a sense of humour? |

Gabriel
Fripp Squire Wakeman Bruford (as you can see i have a bit of a Yes in my mind, and I didnt choose Jon Anderson because Gabriel has a more emotional voice) Tony Levin would be my second front for the Bass seat And no one dethrones Mr Wakeman |

Wetton Howe Banks Levin Bruford At least from the list.... |

The new Genesis: John Wetton - Vocals, Bass Steve Hackett - Vocals, Guitar Julian Colbeck - Keyboards (in place of Tony) Manu Katche - Drums (in place of Phil) They could officially be called Genesis Revamped. |

Nice thread! I found it by chance and wanted to have a go, even if the last post is almost a month old. Well, there's my dream team: Lake (vocals) Emerson (keys) Howe (guitar) Wetton (bass) Bruford (drums) They would probably kill each other after a day or two, but who cares? Dreams are still allowed... |

Well, I was loyal to your list, since it's annoying when people veer from the list. My choices.. Peter Gabriel (vocals) Steve Hackett (guitar) Tony Banks (keyboards) Mike Rutherford (electric bass) Terry Bozzio (percussion) I wonder what sort of chemisty they'd have. I'm not sure if it would work out. Peace & take care |
