Form your own Prog band here

[Argon]

If you could choose anyone to form a Prog. Band, who would be in it? As I see it, you can go two ways with it (or anywhere in between). You can put together a super-group of all your favorite musicians or you can try to blend talents that you think would sound well together. I’m going to shoot for somewhere in the middle of the two.

Here’s mine,

Guitars: Steve Morse (great versatility and a technically excellent guitar player)
Steve Hackett (Blends well with any band, He would add atmosphere to the music, and can write some great Prog. Music)

Bass: Victor Wooten (I think he would sound great with Morse)

Drums: (wow so many great drummers) I think I will go with Terry Bozzio

Keyboards: Keith Emerson (goes great with the style I'm shooting for)

Lead Vocals: Peter Gabriel: (He is one of the greatest front men I have ever seen and will make for a great live show) (don’t argue Jon Anderson here, just put him in yours hehe)

Violin: (another real hard choice) Allen Sloan (I love his style and versatility)

Flute & Vocals: Ian Anderson (if he doesn’t push Peter off the stage he will be great!)


My thoughts for this band were… To build a band that could play well together so I chose very versatile musicians. I also wanted a band that could go from Classical to fast complicated timing in an instant without missing a note. I hope I got close.
