I'd have:

Sylvia Plath and J.B. "Beachcomber" Morton on vocals,
Samuel Beckett playing lead guitar,
Charles Dickens on keys,
Anton Chekhov on rhythm guitar,
James Joyce on bass,
Robert Frost on drums.

They'd be a harmony laden, slightly icy indie-pop-rock band. And they'd be Brilliant.

Dylan Thomas would occasionally do guest raps.

How about you guys?
