You are starting an All-Star band and have to....

[No spoken words]

...choose one member of U2.

Whom do you choose, and who else do you add to the band?

I love music, but know nothing about playing and such, so I'm not sure if my choices could possibly mesh together, but, here goes anyway.....

Singer - Eddie Vedder (I love Bono's voice above all, but, this band needs someone different from U2, so Eddie it is. Thought about Stevie Wonder, actually.)

Guitar - The Edge (Wonder how Edge would do in another band)

Bass - Flea (He's Flea)

Drums - Neil Peart (He's a monster, when I see Rush in concertm I cannot take my eyes off of him)

Piano/Keyboards - Roy Bittan (I don't even know if he's considered a great player, I just know I love what he brings to the E-Street Band)

Again, I do not have the first clue if these 5 could make anything worth listening to, but, it'd be cool to find out. I think.
