I play in a 3 piece blues / rock band where we play such tracks as Red House, Texas Flood, Fire & water etc and I sometimes wonder who my perfect band would be.

I can't decide on a lead singer, possibly Sting.

Bass would be Mark King, ex Level 42.

Drums, Stewart Coplend of The Police ( although my favourite of them all and the best ever is Buddy Rich.

Who would your perfect band be ? Try and limit it to 5.

Also, post what insrument you play and if you're in a band, what you play etc.
 
I play keyboards, euphonium and drums. Used to play keyboards in a rock/blues band.

Singer - Chris Cornell (Sound Garden / Audioslave).
Guitarist - Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth).
Bassist - Cliff Burton (Metallica - RIP).
Keyboard - Mark Kelly (Marillion).

Why would you have Kirk doing rhythm when James is one of the best rhythm players out there?

I couldn't understand taking Kirk over James either.

I'm gonna have to go for -

Vocals - a 90s Chris Cornell
Guitar and more vocals - Billy Corgan
Guitar - Mike McCready
Bass - The fella from Opeth with the amusing sideways headbanging
Drums - Jimmy Chamberlin

I suppose Cornell could pick up a guitar too, nice to see 3 guitarists on one stage.
 
I always find these threads a bit daft because adding some of these musicians together would probably end up in a piece of poo - Chickenfoot anyone?
A bit like the post above I've taken my 4 favourite musicians of all time who I know could work with each other and tagged a keyboard player on.

Keyboards - Keith Emerson
Guitar - Jimmy Page
Bass - John Paul Jones
Drums - John Bonham
Vocals - Robert Plant
