If a genie grants you the opportunity to put together the greatest group of all time, dead or alive, who would you choose?
My choice is a little obscure, but here goes:
Drums: Cozee Powell (Rainbow)
Bass: Graham Maybe (Joe Jackson band)
Keyboards: Jools Holland
Guitars: Wilko Johnson (Dr. Feelgood)
Richie Blackmore (Rainbow)
Vocals: Jeff Buckley
I've deliberately missed the obvious choices.
My selection mixes musical types ie jazz with rock:
Drums- 1.Neil Peart 2.Carl Parmer 3.Phil Collins
Bass- 1.Jaco Pastorius 2.Geddy Lee 3.Chris Squire 4.Phil Lynott
Guitar- 1.Jimmy Hendrix 2.Toni Iommi 3.Randy Rhodes 4. Jeff Healey (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBCJ68mC4c and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJh3KaIKDAw&feature=related) 5.Slash 6.Gary Moore 7.Jan Akkerman
Keyboard- 1.Rick Wakeman 2.Keith Emerson 3.Jon Lord 4.Tony Banks 5.Thijs van Leer 6.The keyboardist in PFM
Spinal Tap:Does for rock and roll what "The Sound of Music" did for hills
