Best band ever

Post by webberg »

Your challenge is to put together a band from artists, alive or dead, who you think would be the best ever.

No particular rules as to members (perhaps keep it below 8 though?) or mix of musical instruments.

We also need a band name and the name of their iconic first and only global hit and the name of the album it came from.

(Because a band full of egos is not going to survive more than one album).

My first attempt.

Drums - Keith Moon
Guitar # 1 - Jimi Hendrix
Guitar # 2 - Tony Iommi
Bass guitar - Mike Kerr
Keys - Christine McVie
Frontman - Freddie Mercury

No names yet
Uphill to the finish

I think someone (George Harrison) tried this for real!

The Travelling Wilburys:
  • Bob Dylan
  • George Harrison
  • Jeff Lynne
  • Roy Orbison
  • Tom Petty
Single "Handle with Care" from Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1

(and I did not know that the name came from the phrase "We'll bury 'em in the mix.", or that they were formed via a shared appreciation of Monty Python)

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction...
