Recall discussing this with my brother not too long ago... Hmmm...
Certain names always seem to come up when this kind of discussion comes round. Examples thereof;
Vocals; Usually someone with a distinct singing style. Examples; Maynard James Keenan; Billy Corgan; Axl Rose; Marilyn Manson; Ozzy etc.
Lead: Always a tough choice, but some names always come up - Hendrix, Clapton, Springsteen, May, etc. You know them, you know their solos.
Bass; Flea always comes up (but then, why not?) but occasionally someone completely (or not completely) random, like Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Rayna Foss-Rose or John Entwistle...
Drums; Only a handful of drummers ever get recognised. Amongst these, Dave Grohl, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and John Bonham are favourites.
Misc; Adding in a piano/keyboardist/random instrumentalist is always interesting - Ben Folds for his ability to play practically anything is one that rarely comes up; sometimes someone on decks is picked up, but it depends on your tastes I suppose.
So after that long discussion, my line-up would probably be (though I'm likely to change it at a moment's notice);
Vocals; Meenan, possibly Cobain
Guitarist; May
Bassist; Flea
Drums; Grohl
