Create a Fantasy Band, and Rate the one above U

My inspiration for this thread and idea come from two very different places. I have been participating and enjoying immensely a thread started by Pandora called Rate The Song Above You....PJ or All in which you post a song off of youtube and the next person rates it and so on, has been a lot of fun remembering oldies/classics that you may have forgot and even found some new music that was not too bad. So w/ that format, and a fun twist on it, from all things past post Fantasy Football gatherings were we would sit around after draft was finished and talk trash & build our own draft/upcoming season up only slightly less than the number of beers we consumed. To the point, at one such gathering, we started discussing bands & specific members at specific instruments and w/o warning began a kind of fantasy Rock Band Draft, obviously it was just for fun and gave us another reason to keep drinking & talking trash, now about our favorite musicians!
OK, so here is my proposal for what I think could be a fun thread. Using the idea of post a fantasy band and next person rates, so one we would use the following format & Criteria:
1.List a band made up of following: 1 frontman, 2 guitarist, 1 bassist, 1 drummer and the option to add any one of the following; 2nd Vocalist, 3rd guitarist, 2nd drummer, a keyboard player or other instrument not mentioned i.e. Horn.
2.I would suggest we do it by genre or time frame, so we can do more than one band to keep it going for a while hopefully, but also feel free to do an All-Time band as well
3.After you post your band, make sure you rated the previous posters band, either by slot(instrument by instrument) or an overall score based on 1-10(10 being best)
Hope this is not too convoluted or Geeky, even if it is give me a first time New Topic exemption
I will it get it started w/ my ALL-TIME Southern Rock Fantasy Band
Vocals: Ronnie Van Zandt(LS)
#1 guitar: Duane Allman(AB)
#2 guitar: Allen Collins(LS)
Bassist: Berry Oakley(AB)
Drummer: A. Pyle(LS)
Vocal/Guitar/Fiddle: Charlie Daniels (CDB)

RULES, we don't need any stinking RULES! LOVE the name" 5 Crooners Dead or Alive" +8 for name alone +90 for talent, but unfortunetly I must assess a penalty for breaking format rule to maintain fairness and keep order on this thread. So with your penalty of -88 points + your total score of 98, you end up with a 10, so sorry, but rules are rules
I am also penalizing myself for being a total "Redneck"and I am wearing it proudly. When I first saw Bud Powell, figured you mistakenly wrote Bud meaning the late Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd it was my wife's prompting that the name Bud Powell really may be "Bud Powell" and not Billly RIP.Wow [p really showed my musical diversity with this one! I just figured since evry band I created so far has had an original LS member, everyones list would have one, pure genius :oops:
OK let me redeem myself: All-Female Rockers
Vocals: S.Nicks
Guitar:Joan Jett
Guitar: Lita Ford
Bass: Tal Wilkenfeld
Keyboard: Christine McVie
Drummer: Sandy West

He was a jazz pianist into the be bop thing.
My Dad had a Dixieland Band back in the 20's and 30's, Red Billings & His Five Shillings.
I grew up listening to awesome music and him playing the piano and brushes on the little drum he had, he was the drummer in the band.
Playing in my house was a lot of Big Band, Louie A, The Rat Pack, Liberace, Peggy Lee and Bing.
I like your thread
Nice. I like how you combined the rhythm guitarist and bass guitarist from mother love bone, the lead guitarist of temple of the dog, the drummer of soundgarden, and the singer of bad radio.

I like Neil Young, but i think he's just an OK guitarist, though it works for him, and me.
Can't go wrong with Pete.
I don't know alot of SG, but Chris Cornell is not bad.
Don't know Mike Watt. I've heard of the name, but not sure of his music.
Jack Irons is a good one.
Ray Manzarek is alright too.
I'll give that a 7.
I guess you could call this the ALL TIME partying/lunatic band>
Jim Morrison-Vocals
Chris Squirre-Bass
Keith Moon-Drums
Jimi Hendrix-Guitar
