    Default Supergroups.

    No, not spam.

    Who is/was the best supergroup? This is my choice, they don't get much bigger than these guys.

    Almost 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.

    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.

    I'm with Greg and IA, I don't think you'll ever find a super-er supergroup than the Travelling Wilburys.

    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.)
