If you were _the_ Phil Spector of the universe...

...and thus had an opportunity to pick anyone at all for your next session, who would you call? My dream band would be as follows:

Vocals - David Bowie
Vocals - John Lennon
Guitar - Robert Fripp
Guitar - Adrian Belew
Keys - Professor Longhair
Bass - Larry Graham
Drums - Phil Rudd

The rhythm section choices may seem a bit weird to some, but do in fact make sense if you think about it. Larry Graham is not just THE funk bassist, but can also rock sooo hard when he feels like it! And Phil Rudd, while predominantly a hard rock drummer, would also groove like a mofo in any other style too I think...

So who would YOU pick?

PS. I hope I didn't post this last night while in a somewhat inebriated state

I remember posting _something_ but I'm pretty sure this particular topic wasn't amongst the spammage

Couldn't find anything myself at any rate...

Eeeeaaaasy! I listened to a finnish metal band called 'Kotiteollisuus' for a long time, then kind of forgot it, then saw it live few weeks back and I must say, the singer does some incredible lyrics. Nothing special, mostly telling about normal life, but the tracks are melancholic(sp?) and sad.

So:

Vocals & guitar: Jouni Hynynen
Bass: Janne Hongisto
Drums: Jari Sinkkonen
