who's the best super group?

[Fedorgasm]

Super group meaning that 2 or more musicians that have had major success in former bands now individually coming together to form a new band.

For example, audioslave had the lead singer from Soundgarden and the guitar players and drummer from rage against the machine. They were a super group.

But the raconteurs, on the other hand, are not a super group because Jack white had all the success, and Brendan whatever his name is had a band but they were never huge.

Here are my nominees, although I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton.

Traveling wilburys


Audioslave


Temple of the dog


Velvet revolver

 

[Thrawn33]

Damn Yankees

 

[Hyperglide]

Genesis [/end thread]

 

[Graves The Elder]

Audioslave and Velvet Revolver are two excellent examples IMO

 

[PurpleStorm]

Blind Faith was a good one.

 

[Graves The Elder]

Derek and the Dominoes

Clapton, Duane Allman, et al

 

[Jackonfire]

Probably not the best simply because they didn't release that much material but this song in particular has to be in the top 20 of all time Rock N Roll scorchers.

Fred "Sonic" Smith - the MC5
Scott Asheton - The Stooges

 

[Fedorgasm]

Genesis [/end thread]

Is Genesis a super group though? It's not like a bunch of established mega stars came together and formed that band.

 

[Rimbaud82]

 

[ookii]

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Yardbirds

Clapton
Page
Beck

 

[Seano]

Traveling Wilburys came to mind. Those albums are fantastic.

 

[Plissken]

The Highwaymen are up there.

 

[Makani]

The Highwaymen are up there.

Beat me to it. Some great, great stuff, especially if you like trying to sing along in 4 iconic voices.

 

[Cantalope]

 

[[insert_name_here]]

By miles...

 

[Plissken]

Though they did only one song (Right Turn) on Sap I also have to throw Alice MudGarden in there.

 

[Carl Sonnen]

 

[Within the Living Death]

Cream


Led Zeppelin


Emerson, Lake & Palmer

 

[TardStrong]

Honorable mention to Wu Block (Wu Tang Clan and D block aka The Lox) they made some awesome songs.

Audio Slave to me is the greatest although I am sure there are older bands that I don't even know were supergroups
