    Thanks, I was going to have Kate Bush, but then I thought her vocals would be too strident to fit in with the type of music I envisage my band playing.

    This is gonna be huge, fellas.

    If you need a not always 100% sober manager with 5 yrs + exp. in creative accounting -> call me.

    First thing, we need an army of fake twitter followers. Then, we'll get you signed up to Wiener Records.

    That's ace! Both Frankie and I are usually about as sober as an average Russian General's staff, so you're welcome.

    I find dead guys tend to underplay.

    Not sure who would be the ultimate prog band but I will go with a band I would love see play and record together. Of course I am expanding the definition of prog.

    Vocals - Jack Bruce
    Bass - Jack Bruce
    Keys - Jon Lord
    Guitar - Mike Keneally
    Guitar - Shawn Lane
    Drums - Bill Ward - I prefer rock drummers who can swing
    Drums - Danny Seraphine - see above
    Horns - Lee, Walt and James from Chicago (especially since these guys not only can play but sing, write and arrange)

    Vocals - John Wetton or Justin Hayward
    Guitar - Andy Latimer
    Bass - Chris Squire
    Keys - Tony Banks
    Drums - Nick D'Virgilio

    This is difficult for anyone thinking mainly of classic symphonic bands and whose preferred vocalist is John Wetton--the rule about no more than one person ever in a band together eliminates many of the more obvious remaining musicians (Fripp, Howe, Holdsworth, Palmer, Bruford, Jobson, etc.)!

    Dave Brock - guitar/vocals
    Roger Waters - bass/vocals
    Brian Eno - keys/vocals
    Graeme Edge - drums/vocals

    Those harmonies!
    The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off

    Except that Waters would probably have strangled Edge in one of the latter's attempts to recite a new spooky space-rhyming poem.

    And Gilmour would have to come in and cover the Bass parts.
