Goodness this is a toughie. I think I am the proverbial donkey who starved to death between two stacks of hay, because I couldn't choose from which one to eat.

Vocals: Tina Turner, Janice Joplin, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jim Morrison
Guitars: Jimmy Page, Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck,
Bass: Anthony Jackson, Jaco Pastorius, Tony Levin, Greg Lake
Drums: Dave Weckl, John Bonham, Bill Bruford, Virgil Donati, Mike Portnoy, Tony Williams
Keyboards: Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Bob James, Keiko Matsui,
Horns: David Sanborn, Tom Fowler, Bruce Fowler, Gato Barbieri, Wynton Marsalis, Edgar Winter, Branford Marsalis

Obviously, any combination of these players might not make a great band, but if you put them together within their respective genres, you'd have some great music.
 
I can tell Jduster liked Cream :cool:
 
So, this musician dies and goes to hell. Satan says, "We've got a band here and I'd like you to join. Over here are our guitarists, Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix. On bass we have John Entwistle. On keyboards, Rick Wright and our newest member, Keith Emerson." So this guy is thinking, "Who's the drummer? John Bonham? Keith Moon? Earl Palmer? Naw...it's got to be Moon. Or does it?"

In walks a skinny girl who sits on the throne and calls out "OK, everyone, in four - 'Rainy Days and Mondays'".

Would love to see that lineup, regardless of who's beating the skins.
