ok, my singer would be Peter Gabriel because he is so vocally creative and extremely charasmatic.  My guitarist is Jimmie Page; he's the man!  Bass player, Chris Squire, his solo's have brought me to tears they were so beautiful.  Drummer:  simply the best ever, Neil Peart.  Keyboards: this was tough but I went with Keith Emerson since he was very driven in his playing the couple of times I saw ELP. I picked Peter Grant just because.....I read once he was a great manager and I don't sweat this area.

Though Ian Gillan; Jimi Hendrix; Chris Squire; Carl Palmer and Rick Wakeman are probably at the top of my list in their respective categories, I think that they would sound terrible together! Sometimes the best is not necessarily the best!

Sorry, managed by Peter Grant.  Anyone who can manage a band like Led Zeppelin and take them to the height that they got to can manage anything!

Whoever put the names on these lists doesn't have a clue!  They don't have a clue mostly because of the names left off.

How can whoever gave us these choices leave off Stevie Ray Vaughn, Michael Schenker, Frank Zappa, Leslie West, Robin Trower & Alvin Lee for guitarists?  I need an explanation!

Bill Wyman should not be a choice for bassists.  You should have added Tim Boggart, Billy Cox, Noel Redding or Geezer Butler.

Steve Marriot shouldn't be on the list for guitarists, but he should definitely be on the list for vocalists!  Jagger, Bowie & Nicks are horrible singers!  Hendrix has a good voice.  He should have been on that list before the ones I mentioned.  No Eric Burdon?  What about Peter Gabriel?   Ronnie James Dio?  Steve Marriot?  Glenn Hughes?  Phil Moog(UFO)?  WOW...

Missed drummers badly!  Where is Buddy Miles?  Ian Paice?  Bill Ward?  Carmine Appice?  Bill Bruford?  Somon Kirke?  Cozy Powell?  Fleetwood, Mason, Watts & Starr don't belong.

 

Please explain yourself.

I think this would be amazing

 

vocals-Freddie Mercury

guitar-Santana

bass-Geddy Lee

drums-Neil Peart

keyboard-John Paul Jones

 

It may sound weird. I love the Lee/Peart coupling, and frankly wouldn't want to hear either one with anyone else. Santana has created, in my opinion, some truly beautiful music, and given the versatility of Freddie's voice I think they would make a very interesting pair. Jonesy's keyboard playing is just as phenomenal as his bass playing. I think if he was coupled with Freddie and Santana, they could put together some truly inspiring melodies.

Here's my all time classic rock band:

 

Bon Scott - Vocals

Joe Perry - Guitar

Ted Nugent-Guitar

Geezer Butler - Bass

Keith Moon - Drums

 

They would create some all killer no filler rock and roll!

Well, the poll was for best at each position.  Here's my team, including some real surprises and unknowns!  This was soooooo hard.  Had to leave out guys like Greg Lake...

 

Guitar - Jimmy Page.  Easy.  Not the greatest technically, but... songwriting, producing, arranging, vision, creativity, stage presence (yes, that's a pun).  Pure star power. VERSATILITY!  Alternatives: Brian May, David Gilmour.

 

Drums - Alan White.  After some thought, actually easy.  Can do plenty of technically great stuff prog-wise, but can still bring the thunder as well as anybody with tremendous feeling and timing.  Throw in some tasty percussion at times, backing vox, songwriting and waaaaaay more VERSATILITY than most drummers.  Alternative: Ian Paice.  Hard Rock Alternatives: John Bonham, Cozy Powell.

 

Bass - Carey Ziegler of Crack The Sky.  A Baltimore/Annapolis regional fave.  Technically awesome player, phenomenal and magnetic live performer.  Backing vox also.  Alternatives: Chris Squire (imagine that!), John Entwhistle.

 

Guitar - Joe Satriani.  Of all the six-string wizards, he's the best SONGWRITER (most other guys just seem to blow exotic scales over weird chord changes in bizarre time signatures as fast as they can).  Very versatile and melodic.  Knows when to lay back and serve the song and when to cut loose.  Adds a modern touch.  Likes to experiment.  Some (bad) backing vox.  No alternatives.

 

Lead Vox - Annie Haslam of Renaissance.  Six octaves of pure, crystal-clear and angelic power.  Adds a prog touch to the earthy guys.  Very romantic lyricist and songwriter.  She's GORGEOUS also!  Alternatives: Ann Wilson, k.d. lang.  This one was a TOUGH decision.

 

Keys - Sam Brown, English singer/songwriter.  The best unknown single musician I know of.  I love Keith Emerson, but...  too much for this application.  I adore Elton John, but he does piano only, and the show is focused all on him.  Sam plays piano/organ/keys mainly, but throw in some bass and ukulele also.  OUTSTANDING songwriter - as great as Sheryl Crow is, Sam should be ten times as big.  And not just backing vox, she's a great bona fide lead singer with an airy voice to compliment Annie.  Alternatives: Jon Lord, Rick Wright.  AND SHE'S GORGEOUS ALSO!

 

This was brutal.  Let's throw in Macca wherever he wants to fit in - some melodic bass playing here, some acoustic picking there.  Awesome songwriting and vocals everywhere!

NO MUSIC NO LIFE!
