Lead Guitar: Dimebag Darrell (Pantera/Damageplan)
Rhythm Guitar: James Hetfield (Metallica)

eggmayo: 6/10. Again, there wouldn't be much cohesiveness.

Vocals/Trumpet: Louis Armstrong
Lead Guitar: Stevie Ray Vaughan
Rhythm Guitar: Eric Clapton
Drums: Billy Cobham
Bass: Entwhistle

A jazz/blues band with a touch of rock. And what band is complete without a trumpet?

EB's band, 9 out of 10 for ability, not something I'd probably listen to though. As regards the criteria: '3. The Band They're from has to be known.' Known by?

Vocals: Mike Patton
Guitar: Tom Morello
Guitar: John Frusciante
Bass: Geddy Lee
Drums: Danny Carey.

Hmm...

Here's my other one where I don't know their names:

Vocals: They guy from Liquid Tension Experiment
Guitar: The one from Ben Folds Five
Bass: The one from The Doors
Drums: The drummer from Big Black

I rate AC's a 9/10 and EB's a 6/10

Mine...

Guitarist: Randy Rhoads (Yeah, I know he's dead but I don't care)
Rhythm Guitarist: Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
Drummer: Tommy Lee (Motley crue)
Bassist: Steve Harris (Maiden

Oh yeah.

EB's first: 9 for talent but it too is not something I would probably enjoy listening to.

Vic's: For talent is probably just less or maybe equal to EB's. Listenability is 10 for me though.

-AC

Sex Kitten gets 7/10 from me

I don't care how you feel about any of the musicians above, they are all amazing and influential.

EXCELENT! 8/10, only because I don't think Dan would fit in. Change that to Johnny Ramone and you've got a helluva line-up.

new one for me:

vocals - randy blythe/lamb of god

lead guitar - dimebag

guitars + backing vocals - Adam Dutkiewicz/killswitch engage

bass - Jim LaMarca/ chimaira

drums - dave lombardo/slayer

.... I can't even name one from each category...damn I suck.....so my band basically would be

Johnny Marr - The Smiths - Guitar

that's it....I repeat...I suck

I like Chuck Klosterman's rules:

a vocalist, a guitarist, a bass player, a drummer and one 'wild card' (any instrument and backing vocals)

1) You can't take more than one member from any given existing group.
2) You can't pick Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley as your vocalist.
3) You can't pick Jimi Hendrix as your guitar player
4) If you pick a bassist who sings (eg, Les Claypool) or a drummer who sings (Don Henley) or a guitarist who sings, he (or she) can't sing in ths particular band. They can play thier specific instrument only. Also, if you select Les Claypool or Don Henley, you're a prick.
5) You can't pick John Bonham as your drummer. You also can't pick Animal from The Muppet Show.

That said, here's my list:

Sly Stone - Vocalist
Eric Clapton - Guitar
Bootsy Collins - Bass
Rhythm Guitar/Wildcard-George Harrison
Charlie Mingus - Drums

The one man band on top of me...1/10.

10
