A fun idea my mates and I have banded around before. It's simple enough - you can have any five musicians, dead or alive, to make up your fantasy supergroup.
Here's mine:
Freddie Mercury - vocals
Gary Moore - lead guitar
David Gilmour - lead guitar
Phil Lynott - bass/vocals
Cozy Powell - drums

I don't know if I could narrow it down enough. I'd end up with a band with 5 guitar players, 3 bassists, and couple drummers, or something like that.

Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?

Same. I'd even have two singers. Mercury and Bowie

I'm no coward
But I'm not that brave
Rags are blowing
Rain's getting near
I'm done with running
And it's getting dark in here~

I kinda cheated there by having Phil pull double duty as bassist and co-lead vocalist. If it worked for Deep Purple...

Well, I guess if you're gonna have a Cher in the band, no one's a better Cher than Cher.

Mine would be:
John Wetton- vocals, lyrics
Greg Lake- guitar, backing vocals, lyrics and music
Keith Emerson- keyboards
Chris Squire- bass, backing vocals
Cozy Powell- drums and percussion.
the ultimate prog supergroup of dearly departed musicians.

A rock music fan died. When he stood at the pearly gates, St. Peter told him that he had been a sinner in life so his place was in hell. When he arrived in hell, he saw a bunch of posters for a rock concert. He stopped a passer-by and asked him:
"Who's playing tonight?"
The guy said:
"Oh, that... It's the Hell supergroup."
"Sounds good, who's in it?"
"Well, there's John Bonham on drums, John Entwistle on bass, Rick Wright on keyboards, Freddie Mercury and Ronnie James Dio on vocals..."
Our guy says:
"Wow! That sounds incredible! I can't wait!"
The passer-by shakes his head:
"No, man... This is hell, remember? They have George Harrison on guitar..."
Seemed appropriate
