PopTodd Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 You can choose anyone... be they dead or alive.I'm listening to Harry Nilsson this morning and thinking about how much I would have loved to have played with him got me thinking about this. (Especially getting him to sing on a new song of mine that I cannot sing!!!) So, who for you, and in what capacity? My list:Harry Nilsson (vocalist/musician)Brian Eno (producer/musician)Roy Wood (producer/musician)Nick Lowe (musician/producer)James Burton (musician)Steve Cropper (musician/producer)Willie Nelson (vocalist/guitar/gettin' stoned) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deepseacatfish Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Brian Eno (producer/musician)Definitely. Though I'd probably be more obnoxious (ie. telling him how awesome such and such recording is) than actually productive I'd also be interested to hear how Jim O'Rourke would mix/produce anything I did, he alternately puts space and sound around recordings that really makes them stand out.

Gobias Industries Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The Beatles. I don't think there can be any discussion on this matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 The Beatles. I don't think there can be any discussion on this matter. But, where would you fit in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 But, where would you fit in? Doesn't even matter. The mere possibility is mindblowing enough. I could, like, be their fuckin' roadie and it would be the best thing ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_fliz1 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Natalie Merchant - Vocalist - Her voice is what I imagine angels sound like.Mark Ford - Guitarist - Huge, huge, influence on my own playing.Gil Norton - Producer - He gets the best bass sounds of any producer I have ever heard.Dr Dre - Producer - I'm not a big rap fan but the dude if a flat out genius.Robert Randolph - Musician - Pedal steel at it's finest.Django Reinhart - Musician - I just want to know how he could play guitar as good as he did with only 2 fingers.Phil Spector - Producer - The dude was a complete nut job but his albums had a grand, epic type sound to them.Brian Wilson - Producer/musician - Pet Sounds, enough said.

GtrPlyr Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Charlie Watts - drums (when I need straightforward rock 'n' roll)Keith Moon - drums (for the songs that need a little amped up mayhem)Harry Nilsson - vocals/arranging (one of my all-time fave singers. I wouldn't even dare sing on a track that had him on it)Sly Stone - Organ/voxJerry Lee Lewis - PianoRay Charles - Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 But, where would you fit in? The Beatles are short two guitar players, harmony vocals, lead vocals etc... so there is room for someone. My choice would be two Pauls...Westerberg and Paul Weller. I would work with them in any capacity they would have me. I have a ton of respect for both of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 my band: Glenn Kotche - Drums, etcBrian Ritchie - BassChet Atkins - GuitarBela Fleck - BanjoDick Dale - Guitar Horn Section: Miles Davis - trumpetCharlie Parker - saxophone[taking applications for trombone] side project band: Ken Coomer - drumsMax Johnston - banjo, fiddle, mandolinJay Bennett - guitar, keysLeroy Bach - guiat, keysBrian Henneman - guitar which means i guess i have to learn to play bass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, I'm just wondering how that would work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Keef - because he is a hell of a guitar player, it would be real fun hanging around him, and I wouldn't be the worst singer in the room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Anyone want an album of theirs produced by Jon Brion?Yeah that would be pretty cool. He has a good eye for sound. I also wouldn't mind having John McEntire (of Tortoise/Sea and Cake fame) produce either, that'd be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, I'm just wondering how that would work.if you ask me to dream, i'll dream Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well, then I may just have to change my list. Mike Bloomfield would be in there somewhere for sure. Jerry Garcia - pedal steel More to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 He has a good eye for sound. Not to be argumentative, but how exactly does that work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Mark Ford - Guitarist - Huge, huge, influence on my own playing. That's a great choice, very underrated in most guitar circles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
