Who'd be in your dream band?

I'm sure this has been posed before, but if you were putting together a band, who'd be in it and why?

Prince on vocals (and multiple other instruments), Sheila E. on drums, bonnie boyer on backing vocals, Dr. Fink on keyboards...oh wait, this band really existed! lol
for real though...Prince on vocals and multiple instruments, coltrane on sax, keith moon on drums, sheila e on percussions, mayte on finger cymbals (just kidding, y'all), and rotating special guests for individual tracks.

There are too many great ones, I'd have to assemble multiple bands to get them all in.

I don't know what kind of musical chemistry my list would yield, but at least I tried. Like Nova said, there are too many great ones. I'm basically scratching the surface.

you never let up do you? you really dig Pushing Peoples Buttons huh? anyway I dig them Cats a Great Deal but more as Artists unto themselves.I like what they Create for themselves just like with Prince,James Brown,George Clinton,etc.. the Only Artist that Might add to that List that I didn't was Stevie Wonder because While I dig Him as a Keyboard Player alot I dig His Drumming even better.Miles Made My Cut because He gave it up while Playing for Bird but I Look at this as Artists that I truly would want in a Dream band.Earth,Wind&Fire is My Ultimate band Still but I like the way some other Cat's Play different things&that is where I'm coming from with my List.

You state for weeks on end the genius of James, Jackson and Kelly and even go far as reporting people and trying to close threads, and brag about "we will school you at ___ forum" because you feel so strongly about the geniuus of these artists yet you do not list any of them in your dream band. And I ask about this and you say I push buttons lol lol

Im not "flipping any script". Lets not forget your promise of a flight ticket purchase for me if u really want to go there about "tactics". And its quite funny how in debate of talent and the so called geniuus of R Kelly et.al that you are miffed by .."bad language" lol. AStill its quite telling that these 3 were not in your lists of dream band members.
