Form a five piece band of your favourite artists (dead or alive) and chuck in two vocalists, one male and one female. A meld of different genres, or a core of one. Any instruments, any comination. It's up to you. Who would be in your ultimate band?

Well, it would definitely have "Space" Ace Freehly, Clay Aiken, Ringo Starr, A.J. McLean, "The Captain" Darrel Dragon, Wes Borland, and Bonnie Raitt. That would cover most of the key instruments and harmonies. And obviously incredible performance style.

Adolf Hitler, Shaka Zulu and Chip Whitley. The remaining two positions could be filled by anyone really.

Well, I'm going to go with the flow of this thread and suggest Adolf Hitler plus the original members of A Certain Ratio. (Adolf replaces Jeremy, and wears desert camouflage shorts.)
