The reason Alice Cooper didn't come up is because, much as I love the man and the band, he really isn't a band "now". Yeah, he's still around and can kick ass with the best of them, but he's not really current.
For the same reason, much as MAIDEN RULEZ! and could most certainly pull this off if they set their mind to it, it's not the same. They're not current.
If Phish weren't breaking up, I would kill to see them put Gamehenge together and do it up as a Rock Opera.
Dream Theatre has the right sort of over-the-top, melodramatic attitude and all the mad skillz to pull this off.
TMBG could do it, but I think they'd do a better Musical than Opera. It's a matter of attitude, not skill.
Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa could certainly put togther a band that would do the form justice.
OK! Here it is. This has got to be the right answer:
PRIMUS!
