Just for fun.
 

If I was to assmeble a dream team from the early 90's I'd say

Cornell - vox
Morello - Guitar
Flea - Bass
Grohl - Drums

if I was to put together a contemporary group I'd go

Jack White - Guitar
Josh Homme - Guitar
John Dolmayan - Drums
Carlos D. - Bass

Without telling me that their not compatible or that you'd sub this guy out for that guy,
who would make better music
Who'd make a better live band
Who'd best the other in career spanning glory?

This is for fun, just debate.

90s:
thom yorke- vocals
tom morello- guitar
mani- bass
Jimmy Chamberlain- drums

contemporary:
matt bellamy- vocals and piano
omar rodriguez-lopez- guitar
ollie wright- bass
matt barwick- drums.

I think you're 90's band edges out your 00 band, essentially you have the same vocalist but the 90's band has a better song writer. Chamberlin is more than likly the best drummer technically out of that era and I think Morello shreads Omar, but hey thats just me, for your pick's I'd say the 90's wins. I have no idea who you have on Bass in either catagory.

90's:

Scott Weiland- Vocals
Tom Morello- Guitar
Les Claypool- Bass
Chad Smith- Drums

Contemporary:

Cedric Bixler- Vocals
Daron Malakian- Guitar
Jeordie White- Bass
Abe Cunnigham- Drums

You suppoed to debate the bands. I appreaciate the posts, but compare contrast the allstars from time periods.

This is hard to choose. I think over the past couple of years I've developed an opinion about Dave Grohl, that he is much more talented as a singer/songwriter than a drummer. Where as John Dolmayan is a talented drummer who is progressing fastly in his style. Every musician in the 90's dream team was very successful with their band, but if it really came down to it the contemporary band seems a little more interesting. I'm not really familiar with Carlos D. though... The musical chemistry between Flea and Chad Smith is really strong so that alters my decision a little also.

id propably prefer to listen to my 90s band too. mani is the bassist from the stone roses. great player. chamberlain on drums is technically grand while yorkes voice and song writing ability in my opinion make him by far the best frontman of the 90s. ollie wright is the bassist from the nightjars.

ok here we go

Mike Amott-guitar
Jon Donais-Guitar
the drummer form dimmu borgir
randy blythe-vox
rex from pantera-bass

tommy lee -drums
mick mars-guitar
nikki sixx-bass
slash-lead guitar
vince neil-vocals

I reckon Eddie Vedder is better than Chris Cornell for vocals imo

i hate tommy lee lol he's such a moron
