[Rick and Roll]

I find most combinations like this work poorly. It's like playing fantasy prog.

The only band to come close in my opinion is Platypus, mainly because they made a cohesive record and didn't try to force feed a jam. And maybe Transatlantic, although the whole was not equal to the sum of the parts.

You need either a dominant person/sound or a musician that works well and adds to the band. Someone like Stu Hamm for bass. He adds to everyone.
