If you were to create a band comprising of your favorite artists/musicians, whom would you pick and why?

Bob Dylan - not much to say here, he's one of the greatest songwriters of his generation (though I'd rank Cohen ahead of him, but that's more personal preference than quality)

My thing with Bob Dylan was his tendency to sing through his nose.
I know, Bonn Scott did it too, but he didn't sound like Gomer Pyle ....
Even Jim Nabors didn't sing like Gomer Pyle

Bon Scott and Brian Johnson both fit this category pretty well, too. Voices sound awful but somehow are just the right voices for the slightly bluesy hard rock/metal that the band puts out.

By the time Brian Johnson came on the scene, Scott's nasal twang had become so much a part of the band's sound that it wouldn't have been AC/DC without it
OTOH, if you've ever been to an AC/DC concert, you might notice whose name the crowd is chanting .....
"Annnn Guss!!! Annnn Guss!!! Annnn Guss!!!"

Lead Vocals: Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) - She blew everybody off the stage in the 60's
Lead Guitar: David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - He plays with amazing feel and emotion.
Rhythm Guitar and Back-up Vocals: Nancy Wilson (Heart) - One of the few vocalists who could hold a candle to Grace Slick
Bass Guitar: Berry Oakley (The Allman Brothers Band)
Keyboards: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) - I don't think he gets enough credit for his influence on the Led Zeppelin sound.
Drummer: Neal Smith (Alice Cooper)

Some great choices, especially David Gilmour. So underrated as a guitarist. He has a great voice too!
I love Grace Slick but once she was involved with "We Built This City", she lost all credibility with me. Quite possible the worst song ever recorded, LOL!!

As important as the vocalists have been over the years, AC/DC is very much the Young brothers' band.
I love AC/DC. There's a wildness and rawness to them (esp. their earlier stuff)
good ole rock n'roll amped to 11.
