start your own super group

So I was stopped in traffic and the mind tends to wander...What if I could assemble a super group,i think to myself......
On Bass-Les Claypool
On Lead Guitar-Buckethead
Drums-Neil Peart (who else)
Vocals- Al Jourgensen
Vocals were the hardest spot for me to fill as I wanted so many others but I wanted to keep it a list of people NOT deceased so Al(barely) got the spot.
I think I shall name them-Super Fudge.

You've got to also give it an appropriate name, Ian.

Drums - Jaki Lovetime, of course.
Guitar (Rhythm) - Franco (sans OK Jazz) for that heavenly chiming Soukous sound that would even make Strange Fruit sound like a chirpy, life-affirming anthem
Guitar (Lead) - Takashi Mizutani. Because chaos is that magical element that'll bring you back trying to mentally unravel it every time
Keyboards - Dave Formula (poached from Magazine). Still has some of the most memorable keyboard riffs out there
Saxamophone - Roscoe Mitchell (Art Ensemble of Chicago)
I've always liked a bit of pitched percussion in my musik, so Imma throw Philip Cohran (of the Sun Ra band and the Artistic Heritage Ensemble) in there on Frankiphone.
Bass - Fuck bass, on Double Bass is Danny Thompson
Beats - Juan Atkins
Backing Singers: Gal Costa (It's gonna need a hoary-voiced belter to hold this ragtag ensemble together), Lata Mangeshkar & Junior Murvin
Lead Vocals: Yoko Ono, eschewing words altogether in favour of an eldritch symphony of divine caterwauling
EDIT: Oh, a name. Umm...The Bloody Tussle of War after Kaspar Hauser's words, "I want to fly like a rider, midst the bloody tussle of war."

In a fantasy drummer contest I'd always have Bruce Mitchell, and Vini Reilly in a similar guitar one. But for my supergroup I think there's only one drummer who's been in enough supergroups, and I'd like two paired guitarists.
Bass - Steve Severin
Guitars - Dave Fielding and Reg Smithies
Drums - Martin Atkins
Vocals - Cathal Coughlan
Keyboards - Gillian Gilbert
Everything else - Brian Eno
Dancers - Andy McClusky, Bernard Sumner, Andy Partridge
