Can we pick dead people?



If so...



Lead singer: Roger Hodgson (Supertramp)


Backing voice: Luther Vandross and Bono (U2)


Lead guitar: Eddie Van Halen (fairly obvious)


Rhythm guitar: Prince (very suprisingly, you have to hear him play)


Drums: Neil Peart (Rush)


Synth: Rick Wakeman (Yes and others)



Producer: NEIL DORFSMAN (Dire Straits is his best)




Yep! Dead or alive, doesn't really matter.

Eddie Van Halen might as well be dead, the way he's playing now........

I'll agree with that - I find it hard to just to stand and sing!

Re: The greatest rock/pop band?

Not necessarily the most skillful in their respective instrument, but musicians I admire and love to listen to.



Vocals / Guitar : Robert Smith (CURE)



Guitar : Johnny Marr (SMITHS)



Bass : Flea (RHCP)



Keyboards : Fletch (DEPECHE MODE)



Drums : Dave Grohl (NIRVANA)



Not sure if they would all get on well though, might be an interesting studio session...
