If you look back on 40 years of music, the following band is obviously the "supergroup" of the late 1900's:



Drums: Hmmm.... by a nose I gotta go with Keith Moon over Jon Bonham here... Keiths a heavy banger but just a tad more jazzy than Jon, he's got gongs and a few more tricks... both great.

Lead Guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan by a nose over Jimi Hendrix

Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards... more rhythm here than some bass players have

Acoustic Guitar: Willie Nelson vs. Glen Campbell... this band is getting complicated... sh*t... gotta pick one... Glen Campbell.

Bass: Flea by a mile

Lead Vocals: Mick Jagger

Piano: Elton John, nobody very close

Organ: Garth Hudson

Guest Lyricist: Dammmmmm.... I gotta choose between Bob Dylan and John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen, and Robert Hunter, McCartney/Lennon... chit.... HEY... Gotta give credit where credit is due so gotta choose the songwriter's songwriter: Bob Dylan.


SO: WTF does the music of this band sound like ????

ANSWER: Very interesting... Because Flea is the obvious "odd man out"... so Flea would bring so much funk to this whole ensemble.... He'd bring out so much jazz in Keith Moon, EJ and Garth particularly... what a sound these cats could make.

What's your all-time mish-mash supergroup ???

"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."

Drums - Al Jackson, Jr. (Booker T.)
Bass - Mike Mills (R.E.M.)
Lead Guitar - James Burton
Rhythm Guitar - Keith Richards & Steve Jones
Vocals - Elvis Presley & Tina Turner
Piano - Nicky Hopkins
Organ - Ian MacLagan

Lyrics - Chuck Berry

This would be a really weird band. They'd have soul but they'd be really loud . . . and drunk.

I think it could work, though!

Drums: Kenny Jones - too under-rated
Bass: Bill Wyman - just let him play Chuck Berry
Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards - can't say anything that hasn't been said
Lead Guitar: Peter Green - IMO, as criminally wasted talent
Vocals: Steve Marriott

Harmonica, Slide Guitar and anything: Brian Jones
Organ: Stevie Winwood

Lyricist: Ray Davies

You can't deny, the music of this band will be fantastic blues

Lead Vocals: Lemmy....Drums:Elvin Jones....Guitars: Johnny Thunders & James Williamson, Johnny Ramone....Bass: Dee Dee Ramone.......Horn Section: Ornette Coleman

Or, you could just take the Meters (vintage) and put Lee Dorsey in front of them.
Or, Little Richard with the Upsetters, or James Brown with the JB's, or Otis with Booker T & the MGs.
These actually happened, so no real need for a fantasy line-up for me. Fun exercise, though.

Keith & Toots. All reggae. Sly & Robbie rhythm section.
Otis & Jimbo as guests in small hours.

i like my bands stripped down:


jimi - guitar (he doesn't need any assistance in this department)
keltner - drums (this band is shaping up quite nicely)
jerry sheff - bass (why not?)
dylan - vocals (aside from other attributes - he's the best rock vocalist ever)
nicky - occasional keyboards

Drums: Jim Keltner
Guitar: Robert Fripp and Keith Richards
Piano: W.A. Mozart
Bass: The guy on Bob's Rolling Thunder Revue 1975

piano:chuck leavell,billy preston,ian stewart,nicky hopkins,jagger

I can't envision this band somehow.

Sounds like a Exile De Luxe revisited with some later flavors & spices.

Rythm Guitar, vocals John Lennon
Lead Guitar Eric Clapton
Bass Keith Richards
Drums Mitch Mitchell
Loud Screams A cat in heat (or Yoko) I assume you can let them play an obscure but classic Beatles song and plan a circus around it. Damn, that would be cool!!! haha

DrPete:

not a chance

Leonard Keringer, I would love to hear that band, I would opt for the subtle swing of Jerry Nolan on drums, but you are right on with the rest.

Vocals: Greg Prevost (Chesterfield Kings)
Rhythm Guitar: Who Else, Keef
Lead Guitar: Ronson
Bass: Glen Matlock (Pistols)
Drums: Jerry Nolan (Dolls)

This would be cool, I think...In fact, I'm sure it would be. It would definitely be trashy.

Cosmoprim, you are correct with Robbie Robertson, soooooo great with Dylan in 66.
