Your dream band

No specific music genre - rock, pop, r&b, country, rap, blues, jazz, etc. I want to hear your nominees for an all-time all-star band. If you had the power to resurrect and an unlimited supply of money, who would you pick?

Here are my choices for my dream rock/blues band:

Lead Vocals - Steve Perry
Female Lead Vocals - Janis Joplin (younger Janis, pre-drugs)
Lead Guitar - Joe Satriani
Lead Guitar - Stevie Ray Vaughn
Rhythm/slide guitar - Kenny Wayne Shephard
Bass - Les Claypool
Percussion - Neil Peart
Keyboards - Billy Joel
Harmonica - Paul Butterfield
Songwriters - Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Muddy Waters

Ya beat me to it!!

"Back to the front"

It is amazing how many bands I am wanted in :thumbs2:

I couldn't really do this, as my music taste is so diverse. The musicians in Tool are amazing, but I wouldn't care for them playing with Pat Green or Robert Earl Keen writing the music/song and vice versa.

Metallica proved that not every type of music sounds good with an orchestra as well.

Best songwriters are Texas Country(the new outlaws if you will) performers, while some of the best musicians are in differing areas of rock, and all do it for one thing only, hot chicks.

Niiiiiice metal lineup!

Sebastian Bach was actually my (very close) second choice for lead singer.

Funny thing is both he and Steve Perry have both crossed over into Broadway at one time or another.

George Harrison (The Beatles)
Roy Orbison
Bob Dylan
Tom Petty (The Heartbreakers)
Jeff Lynne (ELO)

Oh wait.... already been done.

Laid-back line up
----------------
Tracey Chapman (lead vocals/lyrics)
Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac) (Guitar/lyrics)
Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) (Guitar)
Sting (The Police) (Bass)
Jools Holland (Piano)
Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) Drums

Heavier Line up
---------------
Hendrix - Guitar
Slash - Guitar
Outcoded - Bass/Male Voca) :)
Eddie Van Halen - synth
Bloke out of Rammstein (can't remember his name) synth
Amy Lee (Evanescense) Female Vocal
Keith Moon (The Who) Drums

Vocals: Ted Hawkins, formerly of Venice Beach, Cali, later Bridlington, North Yorkshire, now deceased
Guitar: Ry Cooder, one of America's national treasures
Guitar: Roy Buchanan , dead now but wotta player
Bass: Jaco Pastorius, master of the fretless
Keyboards: Jon Lord (Deep Purple) for the rock stuff, Jools Holland for boogie woogie, Earl Hines for the jazz end of things
Drums: Jim Keltner (Ry Cooder's regular skinsman) or Jon Bonham. Charlie Watts can sit in anytime he wants to
Female vocal: Bonnie Raitt (she can bring her guitar and bottleneck anytime!)

Can you tell I like slide guitar? :)

That's right! I forgot about the broadway thing that Bas did. He's a kick azz singer though. Or at least he used to be.
