Create your supergroup here!!!

[Taverner]

OK...here's the rules.

Any musician alive or dead is game. Put together the ultimate band, and just don;t think about how well that player plays, but how good of a band member they were too ( example, Stewart Copeland is not Keith Moon, but he brings out the best in any band he's in.)

So here's mine

Vocals - Eddie Vedder
Lead Guitar - Jimmy Page (circa 1971)
R. Guitar - Dicky Betts
Bass - Phil Lesh
Keyboards - Page McConnell
Drums - Stewart Copeland

and my choices tend to the obscure...

piano, vox - Nick Cave
violin - Warren Ellis (of the Dirty Three & the Bad Seeds)
lead guitar - Johnny Marr
rhythm guitar - Carlos Alomar
bass - Barry Adamson
backing vox, percussion, weird noises - Tom Waits
drums - Jaki Liebezeit (of Can)

[truthpusher]

10. Carlos Alomar? of?

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. He's probably best known for his work with Bowie...

Including "Station to Station", "Low", "Heroes", "Lodger", "Scary Monsters", and "1. Outside"...

[truthpusher]

12. Has he done other work with Eno?

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. As far as I know...

only with Bowie..."Low", "Heroes", "Lodger", and "1. Outside"...

[truthpusher]

14. It looks like they worked together with Bowie...

The late 70s band (from Station To Station on): Carlos Alomar (guitar); Roy Bittan (piano); Dennis Davis (drums); George Murray (bass); Warren Peace (vocals: a.k.a. George MacCormack, a childhood friend of Bowie's); Earl Slick (guitar). Bittan replaced by Roy Young (piano), Slick by Ricky Gardener (guitar), Peace dropped, Brian Eno (synthesizers) added, 1977. Gardener replaced by Robert Fripp (guitar), Young dropped, later in 1977. Fripp replaced by Adrian Belew (guitar), still later in 1977. Eno and Belew dropped, Fripp briefly returned, 1980.
