Ok, ok, I made up my mind, so I’m posting it before I change it again:
Vocals- David Bowie. Sure, he doesn’t have the best voice ever… but most rock vocalist don’t. And he’s got that insane rockstar persona with crazy characters and everything… it’s Bowie all the way.
Guitar- Lindsey Buckingham. I know some people don’t like his style, but he’s a master when it comes to cool finger picking, and some of his solos are more than incredible. Plus, he can pull off nice vocals when he wants to.
Bass- hard one… I have to go with John Paul Jones. Only because you get keyboard for free… He’s a very talented multi-instrumentalist.
Drums- Larry Mullen Jr. I had to push one U2 member somewhere in there… Mullen is the most underrated drummer ever, at least during U2’s early years- just listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday.
5th member- extra guitar with John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Both because of his amazing talent, and because he’s funny to watch (check out the Live in Slane Castle DVD and try to count the number of flies he must have swallowed with an open mouth).
I’m probably going to post a second group soon, there’s so many better choices than these ones.
And, here’s my NOT group:
Vocals- David Byrne, guitar- Bono, bass- Sting, drums- Phil Collins, and backing vocals by Rod Stewart. Oh, that would be funny to watch. And it actually may not be that bad, come to think of it…
