I have had this discussion with a friend awhile ago bout which bands have had the most members play in there band over their career , people quiting,passing away,leaving and coming back and etc... I think I would have to say off the top of my head a few would come to mind...The ABB,Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Yes,Rainbow Spinal Tap( alot of different drummers) and I am sure there are more

We also would play a game by using kinda like a Family Tree of RNR were we would start with a band and the members and then try and guess and figure out what other bands the were in and their members and so forth. A good example to start with is by using Deep Purple and go through that mess and all of the related and shared members they have had and other bands they have been in.

I f you have any ideas and suggestions, let em' fly

I think Parilament may be the Guinness Book record holder. They have had lots of people come & go, and on any given night in the current line up there have to be atleast thrity people on stage dancing, playing instruments, rapping, singing, and whatever.

One thing I notied about the Eric Clapton's box set "Crossroads" when I bought it many moons ago was how many bands he was in. There are recordings from 7 different bands 1.Yardbirds 2. John Mayall blues breakers 3. Delaney, Bonnie & Friends 4.Blind Faith 5.Cream 6.Derek & the Dominos 7. Clapton solo and that's not including all the jammin' he did with George Harrison and John Lennon. Remember the "Dirty Mac"? They were suppose to had been the first supergroup.

Without a doubt the winner for members and family tree branch offs are Deep Purple. I have an awesome family tree but no scanner unfortunately. But it is wild to see how many played in the band and how they connected with so many other bands and artists.

P-Funk was another good example although I think only musicians should be counted and not dancers. Otherwise MC Hammer wins. That guy had 50-60 people dancing at times. Then he found out that he had to pay them union scale and went broke.

Mayall's Bluesbreakers is another good one. Loads of people played with him.

Disqualified for life.
Cross-dressers don't count, either.
Not sure how severe to be about men with eyeliner.

. . . Okay, let's disqualify them, too.

Ask SamFoy about those cross dressers.

Guitarists in diapers don't count??? Guess I have to change my stage outfit. I will also have to run to the washroom during drum solos now.

When Paul McCartney put out, "Flowers in the Dirt" (over 10 years ago), the album (CD) came with a poster of the McCartney family tree. This was a diagram of the various musicians that have played with Paul over the years and the bands that they had played with with. It was interesting and appropriate the the Allman Brothers - via former MACA drummer, Joe English appeared on the tree. Joe English was the Wings drummer who also played with Sea Level during Jaimoe's absence. I've still got the poster somewhere.

I would think once you get to The Byrds or Buffalo Springfield (especially combined), the family tree would get unwieldly.

I'm thinking the California groups; Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Eagles and The Byrds might have a family tree to rival most other bands.

Exactly what I was thinking when I posted this a bit earlier.

On that family tree you can even get from there to the Stones, Derek & The Dominoes, Rick Nelson, The Band, etc

I have"The Very Best of Rainbow" on cd and it has a family tree drawn on the inside of the cd cover. Richie Blackmore must be the common thread that has ran off many musicians.
