Dio - Vocals
Entwistle - bass guitar
Page - guitars
Wakeman - keyboards

Wolfgang Van Halen - "I love being a bass player. It’s just me and Al — a groove section. Just boom, boom, boom, and we’re good". GW

Edward Van Halen - "What is next for Wolf is the next record and the next tour. He’s no different than I am. Music is his life. If he goes back to school, I’ll probably go with him.” GC
Ok, you said "would actually work together" so that means I shouldn't just clump some of my favorite musicians into groups and pretend that they would work together as a band - right?
Some pairings are already matches made in heaven; Page/Plant, Entwhistle/Moon, Geddy Lee/Peart - I'm going to resist keeping these pairs together.
So... Assuming that we're talking about all of these musicians when they were in their prime...
For a Metal band, I'll say:
Rob Halford - vocals
Michael Shenker - guitar
Steve Harris - bass
Cozy Powel - drums
or
Geoff Tate- vocals
Randy Rhodes - guitar
Steve Harris - bass
Robert Sweet - drums (It's damned hard thinking up a better drummer than Scott Rockenfeld)
Edward Van Halen - Guitar
Stewart Copeland - Drums/Percussion
Chris Squire - Bass
Katy Perry - Vocals
Prog Band:
Steve Walsh (Kansas) - vocals
John Petrucci - guitar
Chris Squire - bass
Neal Peart - drums
Kieth Emerson - keys
Wolfgang Van Halen - "I love being a bass player. It’s just me and Al — a groove section. Just boom, boom, boom, and we’re good". GW

I have to say that I'm surprised that people that like DLR's style of singing also enjoy Dio's operatic vocals so much. meh.
It can't be "Van Halen" without Roth, any more than it can be "Van Halen" without Eddie.
