You must build the ideal rock band, You need a singer, a bass player, a guitarist (or two), a drummer, and one "wild card" (this musician can play whatever you choose and provide backing vocals). You can't take more than one member from any existing group.

Singer: Stephen Malkmus (Pavement)
Bassist: Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order)
Guitarists: Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and Tom Verlaine (Television)
Drummer: Jeremy Hanson (Tapes 'n Tapes)
Wildcard: Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) on guitar and basically anything else

Not necessarily the people I consider best at their respective instruments or my favorites, but I think they'd mesh well together.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Landstander88/journal/2007/02/27/5xxsu_top_10_survery Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:44:26 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Landstander88/journal/2007/02/27/5xxsu_top_10_survery It seems everyone else has one of these, so I guess I'll do it as well.
