I’d have to go with Ringo Starr on drums (not necessarily because he’s the most talented drummer, but because he’s tight), Liam Howlett (of The Prodigy) on keyboards, Mark Knopfler on guitar, and Sage Francis as vocals/freestyle rap.

It would be such a cacophony, but who cares. I’d just be interested to see Ringo Starr and Mark Knopfler in a rap/electronic group.

OK, maybe this is a little far out, but bear with me:

What about Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart and Bill Wyman. Now, that would be a pretty cool band.

Aw – they’re just a bunch of skinny white old men (except fo the dead one)......

@dpworkin Meh.

Bo Didley, Chuck Berry,Elvis, the Staple Singers, Little Walter, Jerry Lee Lewis, and yours truly on drums. what a combo!

Mickey Avalon on lead vocals, Slash (axe), Ben Folds (piano/songwriter), Melissa Auf der Maur (bass), Jack White (music & lyrics), Bobby Darin (backing vocals), Jen Brown (high school buddy on drums). :( I want a bigger band.

I’d put Crystal Bowersox and Adam Lambert as my frontpeople; Clapton and Knofler on guitars, Keith Moon on drums and sting on bass and backing vocals (ego in check – I’m da boss, right?)
