If you could make an All Star Band what 4 musicians would you pick for drums, bass, guitar, and vocals?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm gonna stick with living musicians, just so I can hold out the hope that it might actually happen. :-)
Drums: Bill Bruford
Bass: Tony Levin
Lead guitar: Robert Fripp
Rhythm guitar / vocals: Adrian Belew
Oh wait...that would be King Crimson!
Seriously, though, it's so hard to pick, and who I'd pick would depend on what type of music was going to be performed. If you just told me to put together a band for the kind of music I'd want to make, those four would still be my pick.
But for the sake of argument, ruling out all former members of King Crimson, here's my all-star band:
Drums - Travis Barker (Blink 182)
Bass - Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Guitar - Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Street Sweeper Social Club)
Keyboard - Keith Emerson (ELP - still, no one can touch this guy...watch the video)
Vocals - Adam Lambert (yeah, yeah, I know...he hasn't really proven himself yet, but I'm gonna go out on a limb anyway -- the guy's got one of the most amazing vocal instruments ever)
Drums: Bill Bruford
Bass: Tony Levin
Lead guitar: Robert Fripp

Cool picks, and entertaining answer! Thanks, Scott!
I agree. Interesting choices. I doubt I'll have time to put together an answer before sundown but I'd go with
Richie Blackmore - Guitar (actually prefer his work with Rainbow to the Deep Purple era)
Mark King (Level 42) - Bass. Aspiring bassists all over the world look up to this man.
Sean Moore (Manic Street Preachers) - Drums
Mike Patton (Faith No More) - Vocals
What would it all sound like? No idea.
