Producers are getting together men of 50 and over to form the world's first "man band" (what about the Stones?). Anyway, why not pick five famous fiftysomethings (or older) and list your dream man band.

I'm sorry, I just love typing man band. Man band man band man band.

Tom, the only reason I posted it on NYLPM is so I could write "man band". MAN BAND.

Um, I have no idea who I'd pick though. I just wanted to say MAN BAND again. Do they have to be famous? Cos my dream MAN BAND!!!! is my dad and my uncles Johnny and Galen, plus Fred's dad. Now they would fucking rock the casbah.

Dr. John, Steve Earle, Elvis Costello, Iggy Pop, Frank Black (ok, he's not fifty...). That would be tremendous...

Scott Walker, Derek Bailey, Burt Bacharach, Tony Benn, Robert Wyatt.

That's 99.

I'm with Dr. C! Lets get those Kink fellers back in the line. Wait a sec, for something a little more interesting, lets trade Peter Quaife for Paul McCartney on bass. How interesting would Davies/McCartney tunes be? Is Billy Preston still alive? We can add him on keyboards. First album of this "Man Band" produced by Lee Perry.

Hit!

So you're too young to've heard of the *real* Man Band? They're still going & everything.

What, Manfred Mann's Earth Band :) ?

Carol Kaye, Moe Tucker, Marianne Faithful...

Oh wait, something's wrong here. I can't think of a guitarist.
