You certainly did ask this question at some point. I wonder if my answer's any different because I'm not trying for any consistency.

Probably Levon Helm, I bet that hasn't changed. Maybe Clapton or Allman on guitar because I can't really imagine Hendrix playing without singing. Steve Cropper -- god damn he can play. I want someone a little funkier than McCartney on bass, so naturally it's got to be Larry Graham.

Lastly let's stick Marvin or maybe Aaron Neville or Sam Cooke in front of those guys -- I always wondered what would happen if you'd put one of them in fronting a bunch of white dudes in about 1965.

EDIT: ten dollars to whomever can find thenewgreen's old post over this subject.
