How about a 'dream team' band line up?
Liam - Vox (Closely followed by Ashcroft)
Johnny Marr - Guitar/song writing duties (Closely followed by John Squire)
Mani - Bass
Reni - Drums
Tony Rogers - Keys / Hammond
What you'd end up with is gorgeous arpeggiated chord based guitar pop songs with a groove based rhythm section and the 'lennon/lydon' cross vocals with the coolest frontman to walk the planet! I've chosen just the one guitar player as I prefer this style overall with a hammond organ thrown in there to give it something extra (i.e smiths / roses / charlatans)
