How To Start A Band

Members of a good band need to have a lot in common. They all need to like to play the same type of music, be of comparable skill level and have similar goals for the band's future. So how do you go about finding this magical mix of people? Discuss how you started your successful (or unsuccessful) band and why things have or haven't worked out.
