Planet Rock listeners were asked to vote for the individual musicians they would like to make up the ideal supergroup.

Result

Robert Plant
Jimmy Page
John Paul Jones
John Bonham

Nice to have one's prejudices confirmed

That would be my choice too, although it might be a toss up on vocals, between Plant and Ian Anderson of "Yes"
Oh...and Rick Wakeman on keyboards of course!!

Can't argue with Led Zepplin....but if this was Aussie land the 'Little River Band'(original) would be up amonst the top, but there again I'm biased.

Don't know who the first one it but the other 3 are singers/vocalists.

It would be like a very angry barbershop quartet.

Thomas Lang (drums)
Tom Morello (guitar)
Flea (bass)

Jon Anderson was the Vocalist in Yes, Ian Anderson was in Jethro Tull.

I am always surprised that Peter Gabriel never crops up in these sort of surveys. He has the most astounding vocal range. Brian Wilson is also often overlooked, I consider Brian Wilson to be one of the five true genius' of music.

Wow. We must be the only PHers to whom those names have real meaning.

(To be honest, they've gone a bit downhill since Metropolis Pt 2, anyway).

Zep - great band ... though I prefer Purple myself ...

My Supergroup:

Lead Vocals - David Coverdale
Guitar - Tommy Bolin
Guitar - Jimmy Page
Bass - Billy Sheenan
Keyboards - Rick Wakeman
Drums - Ian Paice

Would never work ... but it would be fun watching them try ...

Hmmm... I wasn't to sure about 'Awake' when it came out but I'm convinced now. first half of '6 degrees of inner turbulance' is a stormer

Will you be going to see them in Oct is it?

There are a couple of others of us as well, some other drummers as you might expect
