Supergroups.
No, not spam.
Who is/was the best supergroup? This is my choice, they don't get much bigger than these guys.
http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle1962742.eceAlmost 20 years after they formed and with two band members dead, super group The Traveling Wilburys have scored their first UK number one album.
I bought their first album back in '88. A modern classic. A shame that George and Roy arn't here to see them go to #1.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Supergroups.
I think I agree with you, IA. TTW was very tongue-in-cheek and they seemed to have a great time working together. On their two albums, they put out some really good songs.

Re: Supergroups.

Blind Faith-Sea of Joy (Live)
Blind Faith-Can't Find My Way Home (Live)

Re: Supergroups.
The "first?" What about Crosby, Stills Nash and Young?
At Woodstock...)
Re: Supergroups.
I'm with Greg and IA, I don't think you'll ever find a super-er supergroup than the Travelling Wilburys.

Re: Supergroups.
Ah, here's the one I was looking for: Crosby, Stills and Nash, sans Young: Wooden Ships.
(I must admit, I like the Airplane version a lot better, but this ain't bad.)

Re: Supergroups.
Well, technically, they were already an amalgamation of good musicians from at least two groups, which means they can be called a supergroup, unless of course all the member have to come from different groups.Originally Posted by Gawain of Orkeny

Re: Supergroups.
Which brings me back to a question I asked earlier in the best band with a female singer and had the greatest back up group ever. So I suppose her and her band also rate as a super group, Im talking of course of probably the greatest voice in rock history. And back then she was a babeI think the Eagles contend.

Dammit Gawain, you almost choked me up. That song has a special place, as it represents a very special woman, long gone. Thanks man.

Re: Supergroups.

If theres any question about the supergroup part its because of Randy Bachman. BTO.

Re: Supergroups.
They are from a present perspective only; at the time they were just a bunch of very talented people brought together. Cummings was 16 when he had his first record out. The drummer was a wiz kid - he was playing with Canada's national symphony orchestra (or something to that effect) at a very tender age. Some people argue that they were a "set-up" band made for hits only. It ain't me though.Heres another band that may qualify as a super group and my favorite Canadian band
Past Bachman's era, they evolved into a vehicle for Cummings' expressions - but God they were good.
And for the non-believers:

Re: Supergroups.
Thats why I tried to explain. Its sort of in reverse. But what a great band.They are from a present perspective only;
