    The "Coming Demise" thread made me wonder. Who would make your all-time greatest bad with the provision that each member is dead.

    Manager - Bill Graham
    Front guy/woman or lead singer - Freddie Mercury and Aretha
    Lead guitar - BB King
    Rhythm guitar - Chet Atkins
    Bassist - James Jamerson
    Keyboards - Keith Emerson
    Utility (who probably plays sax) - Coletrane (Charlie Parker died in Rock's infancy)
    Drummer - Neil Peart over Keith Moon
    Back-up singers - Glenn Frey, Carl Wilson, Mama Cass

    Entwistle on bass. The way he played enabled Pete to do so much.
