Cool idea. Here's mine:

Chad Smith
David Gilmour
John Petrucci
Seal
Me

It would be a mix of genres with it getting CLOSE to progressive rock, but with a funky groove to it with Seal singing, and lots of guitar solos being traded back and forth.

Could be a disastrous lineup, or a really cool mix. But since it's fantasy, it's a really cool mix.

No names, but my dream band is a band with musicians that:

- have a somewhat uniform taste in music as me,
- are about equally or slightly more talented/skilled than me,
- have a desire to learn new things and don't stagnate in the same old well-known stuff,
- have the same goals as me,
- I get along with well,
- think simply jamming away sometimes is not a total waste of time,
- think a rehearsal just for fun is not totally unnecessary,
- that has time for rehearsing and gigging (not "That's not really suitable for me. What about Tuesday afternoon at 3.50-4.55 pm in three weeks?").

That's about it...

It's a rather large ensemble:

Vocals - Paul Carrack
Vocals - Maysa Leak
Lead Gtr. - Larry Carlton
Ryth Gtr. - John Oates
Drums - Prairie Prince
Keys - John Stoecker
Keys - Ricky Peterson
Bass - Me

Oh, and lets add a single horn player to add some lead line texture...how about David Sanborn.

It's odd this doesn't get more replies...

After the first post and mine, I don't recognize a single name other than Yanni. Are these metal people? Jazz people?

For me it would be:-

Matt Redman- vocals and accoustic guitars
Peter Hook on bass
Rick Allen- drums/electronic percussion


and me doing backing vocals and keys! #



Spot the mistake in this. The band would probably be very rock-sounding.
