Here is playing with Megadeth above and Frank Zappa below
(Myoclonus - a brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. They may occur alone or in sequence, in a pattern or without pattern. This happens when a person is on the verge of falling asleep, and suddenly have a sensation or feeling that they are free falling through the air. The twitching cannot be controlled by the person experiencing it. Myoclonic jerks are associated with a rapid heartbeat, quickened breathing, sweat, and sometimes "a peculiar sensory feeling of 'shock' or 'falling into the void."")
featuring...
Thom Yorke!
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke's haunting vocals, avant-garde creative processes, and hypnotic melodies will play a major role in Myoclonic Jerk's overall sound. He will also contribute to the band's songwriting and production, because the man knows how to create some unique fucking sounds. Expect a major Kid A-era influence to come from him - but don't forget that he can rock out as well.
Samples:
You can almost a imagine a certain bassist on that last song...someone like...
Les Claypool!
This fuckin' guy. Just look at that hat. Best known for his work with Primus and currently working with Sean Lennon as The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Les Claypool is one of the premier bassists of our generation. While Thom is wailing away on the microphone, Les will be slappin' away soul-shattering riffs with the ferocity of a demon on PCP. Knowing when to TURN IT THE FUCK UP and when to cool it down will be key in establishing the dynamic of many of Myoclonic Jerk's songs. Expect a lot of back-and-forthing with some sick guitar riffs here.
Samples:
Speaking of Rush, let's get a drummer in here! Someone like...
Neil Peart!
Known for his incredible stamina and hard-hitting work with Rush, drummer Neil Peart will be providing percussion for the band. Expect him to make extended use of the the electronic portion of his trademark acoustic/electronic combo kit; this will be necessary to create a sound that is at the same time ethereal, earthy, and electric.
Sample:
(from 2:16-3:45)
Now when things really get going, we're going to need a guitarist who can jazz things up with interesting riffs and melodies. Someone who's not afraid to enter new territory. Such as...
St. Vincent!
10,000 volts to your spine. That's what St. Vincent will give you. With frenetic playing and complex arrangements, St. Vincent's guitar work will vibrate your vertebrae and tickle your temporal lobe. When Thom's voice fades into the background, the trip will die down and the hop will move to the foreground as Annie and Les trade off blistering solos and licks.
Sample:
Has this gotten weird enough for you yet? No? Good, because we're about to kick it up a notch. Introducing...
Björk!
One of my favorite artists, Björk Guðmundsdóttir is the cosmic soup from which the rest of Myoclonic Jerk is borne. A breathtaking artist with the ability to rescue forgotten sounds from the murk of the unconscious, Björk has the compositional talent to raise her bandmates' ideas to new levels. Her penchant for writing in uncommon time signatures and use of offbeat musical phrasing will be no hurdle for the rest of the band, as they are all also incredibly adept musicians. She will be contributing heavily to the band's songwriting, especially when it comes to Peart's drum pad.
Samples:
(listen to the drums at the end!)
It is also worth noting that Björk and Thom have worked together previously, so there is no doubt that their relationship to bloom with Myclonic Jerk.
And here's a cool mashup someone made of Radiohead and Bjork:
So what's left? Well, not a whole lot - because I've already drafted a highly talented and wonderfully creative group of artists - but I think there's someone who can still help take it up a notch. Someone to bring everything together, someone with a deep understanding of composition who can still produce an engaging and modern sound. And that someone is....
Clint Mansell!
You probably know him best from "Lux Aeterna" (the Requiem for a Dream theme), but his talent does not stop there. Mansell has written the score for several movies, including Pi, The Fountain, and Swan Lake. An absolute master of creative dynamics and emotional composition, Clint will not only contribute to the songwriting and production, but he will provide keyboard assistance as well. At first I thought it might be odd bringing a composer onto the band, but given that so many of the other artists create their art on an avant-garde and transcendent level, I felt like Clint Mansell would fit right in. His ability to transition between sounds and his keen ear for movement and timing will be a great boon in guiding the band's sound, giving each artist just the right amount of shine so that they all synergize into a greater cohesive whole. The crescendos! The diminutions! It will be beautiful.
Also, I needed someone to play keyboard/MIDI pad.
Samples:
Recap:
Myoclonic Jerk will be an avant-garde experimental rock/trip-hop band that deftly weaves electronic abrasion with feathery, lulling vocals, while retaining just enough modern classical composition to keep things sounding oddly familiar.

This was fun. Did anybody else think of some other potential supergroups while thinking through this?
I had visions of a space rock/ambient soundscapes group led by Robert Fripp, Jonny Greenwood, and Eno.
And I almost went with a super heavy band of Tony Iommi, Lemmy, and John Dwyer with like Keith Moon on drums. Really just wanted to have a band with Iommi and Lemmy, the sound those two would've produced would be massive. But I knew that band would have no chance of winning, so I went in another direction.

It's weird Jaz. I love everyone in your band, but I don't necessarily love your band overall. It's like Thom, Bjork, and St. Vincent would be fantastic together, and Claypool and Peart are a near perfect match, but I just don't see how those two entities would fit together. Les and Neil would want to get into these extended progressive jams, and the other three would want to create experimental, abstract pop songs. I do admire the creativity though.

I was thinking of throwing bands together with undrafted people. I started thinking of a band focused on the name "Gordon" - Kim Gordon, Nina Gordon. Gordon Gano, Gordon Campbell

That's a completely fair assessment, but you weren't supposed point it out.
Edit: After things got screwed up earlier in the draft, I pretty much just tried to make the best with what I had.

Should have gone heavy. I stuck to my guns, went with my people and I'll most likely end up with only my own vote as a result but no matter, it was all fun!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could put together some amazing psych or metal bands from undrafted guys that I personally might like better than anything anyone put together in this.
The trick is crafting something that's popular and cohesive, not just what appeals to you the most. There were a few artists I considered drafting, but decided most people wouldn't really know or care about that person, or that they didn't fit the sound.
As far as undrafted people, I considered going way into left field with someone like Liszt or Bach, but didn't think people would take that seriously.

If you took a classical composer you would need Vai, Yngwie or Randy on guitar as I'm not sure anyone else has the chops to play that fast and technical

I came up with the idea to draft a post rock dream team, but it was too late. No one would have liked it anyway. At one time or another I wanted every member of Zeppelin and Cream in my band plus Jeff Beck, David Gilmour and other options for vocalist were Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams.
Also, who is the one person that y'all are really surprised didn't get picked? I'm between George Harrison and Dylan.
Dylan was the biggest surprise for me. I was rooting for people like Lindsey Buckingham, Britney Howard, Peter Frampton, Janelle Monae and Chris Thile.
