Really like the whole Temple of the Dog reunion idea with Vedder and Cornell, and basically just the entire punk-grunge feel as a whole with Stardog Champion

Princes of the Universe

Lead Singer (tenor): Freddie Mercury



What can really be said about Freddie Mercury that countless others haven't already said? One of the greatest, most versatile singers in rock history, and possessed a larger-than-life stage presence that cannot be matched.

Rhythm guitar/vocals: Prince


To me, Prince is one of the most underrated guitarists out there. A lot is said about his songwriting and his controversial behavior, but not enough is said about the man's technical skill with the guitar. Seriously, listen to the solo from 3:24 on in this video.



Easily one of the hardest-working musicans, releasing a total of 35 albums in his career, as well as hundreds of unreleased songs. He's also a bona-fide musical virtuoso, able to play a variety of instuments, such as the piano, the clarinet, and the saxophone.

Bass guitar/keyboards/vocals/effects (tenor): Geddy Lee



Along with Mercury, Lee is one of the more recognisable voices in rock. Known best for his high-pitched tenor voice, Lee is no slouch when it comes to playing the bass guitar, earning several accolades, including being named Bass Guitarist of the Year 6 times by Guitar Player magazine. Rush is also known for having some very unique on-stage equipment during their live shows, such as fully-functional kitchen appliances, rotisserie chicken ovens, and a vending machine.

Drums: Mike Portnoy



Since I couldn't get Neil Peart, I settled for one of the next best things. Portnoy is best-known for his performances with the prog-metal band, Dream Theater, and although he may seem a bit out of place here, he's really not. Portnoy is the creator of several classic rock tribute bands, such as Hammer of the Gods (a Led Zeppelin tribute), Yellow Matter Custard (The Beatles), Cygnus and the Sea Monsters (Rush), and Amazing Journey (The Who). He is the second youngest person (after Neil Peart) to be inducted into the Modern Drummer's Hall of Fame (at 37 years of age).

Vocals (baritone): Jim Morrison


Since I've got two tenor voices in Mercury and Lee, Morrison adds a much-needed balance with his deep baritone voice. Morrison is widely regarded as the prototypical rock-star: surly, good-looking, scandalous and mysterious, and will add more of a poetic, philosophic influence and stage presence to the group.

Lead guitarist/effects: Brian May



Along with Mercury, May was responsible for writing the music of Queen. May is famous for his performances with his custom-made "Red Special" guitar, which he uses to create strange and unusual sound effects, such as a trombone, a piccolo and several other instruments. As a result, Queen did not feel the need to use synthesizers, which they make clear with their earlier albums having a disclaimer about it.

With Alphie (The VP) joining, that brings us to 12, which is a nice number. I'm calling the signups closed.

I'll post the draft order shortly. The draft starts Monday at noon, but picks can be made as soon as the draft order is posted.

I can't set up a poll for some reason, so write your votes in, and I'll count them up at the end.
