1. Wasn't there a popular song about that a couple decades ago?

The only line I can remember offhand was "They've got a helluva band."

15. Rock and Roll Heaven--The Righteous Brothers ( and Bobby Hatfield is gone now too)

[LynneSin]

2. I'd rather have John Bonham on Drums since he is considered the better of the 2 drummers

:D

[southpaw]

3. Absolutely

Moon was a loose cannon... on the kit and off.

[charlie and algernon]

4. but who would've destroyed the equipment after each show?

I rest my case...


Plus, Moon already has chemistry with Entwistle, you need your bass and drummer synched up.

5. Let's see...Bon Scott, vocals

Randy Rhodes, guitar
Johnny Ramone, guitar
Cliff Burton, bass
John Bonham, drums

Cool ass band, probably sound like shit together though.

6. Mine:

John Entwistle - Bass
John Bohnam - Drums
Jimi Hendrix - Guitar
Frank Zappa - Guitar / Vocals

[BeachBaby]

7. Mine is very similar to yours, with two differences:

Freddie Mercury - vocals
Jimi Hendrix - guitar
Stevie Ray Vaughan - guitar
John Entwistle - bass
Jon Bonham - drums

11. Nice but I have to go with C+A on this one and Keith Moon

on drums. I wish I could have seen the Who play while he was still alive...I did with John Entwistle though...

[Symarip]

8. All of The Skatalites who have passed away

And I'd stick them in a Ska band.

9. Too hard! :)

We may need several bands.

SRV-lead
Duane Allman-lead
See, problem already :) we have left out Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan

[bluesbassman]

10. How 'bout these?

Janis Joplin - Vocals
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Guitar, Vocals
Steve Marriot - Vocals, Guitar
Phil Lynott - Vocals, Bass
Cozy Powell - Drums
Billy Powell - Keyboards

[hellbound-liberal]

12. I'll start with Rory Gallagher on guitar . He did it all and he did it all well.

Bass,Vocals-James Dewar
Drums-Cozy Powell
Keyboards- Richard Wright
Blues Harp-Little Walter

[bluesbassman]

13. Good call h-l.

Forgot about Rory. Damn, that would be one big stage if I added him to my band.:)

[hellbound-liberal]

14. He's been my favorite since I saw him on the Midnight Special in the 70s

I like your choice of rhythm section too! I though Cozy was fantastic and Phil Lynott was way under-rated!

[FLAprogressive]

16. Wesley Willis and Mozart.

[abq e streeter]

17. endless possibilities, but Robert Johnson does a solo set during breaks

and David Ruffin ,Wilson Pickett ,Dave Prater, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Johnny Burnette, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Elvis Presley ALL get to sing a tune or two. Guitar players? Charlie Christian , Paul Burlison, Duane Allman, SRV, Jimi, Garcia and Sister Rosetta Tharpe......and Gene Krupa along with Keith Moon on the drums. King Curtis on sax, Little Walter on harp, Otis Spann and Professor Longhair on piano, and Berry Oakley taking turns with Willie Dixon on bass.

John Bonham: Drums
Jimi Hendrix: Guitar
John Entwistle: Bass
Jim Morrison: Vocals

The Dead Jays!
