Favorite Supergroup

[nzoner 936]

 

[Big Guy 1,400]

I loved the Wilbury's, but their not really a Supergroup to me, not one of them played bass, drums, keyboards. Pretty much just an all star group of incredible musicians having a good time.

I'd go with ASIA

[FeelingMN 273]

I would have said Wilburys but since I can't....The Raconteurs.  

[DonS 3,063]

The Firm with Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page was pretty good. 

[posty 2,296]

Do the Damn Yankees count?

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566]

Temple of the Dog

I would think so. 

[jerryskids 5,172]

Personally I think the Wilburys are on the Mount Rushmore of overrated.

Among my favorites are CSN/CSNY, ELP, Blind Faith.

Absolutely do count, and that is my pick for favorite. 

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Didn't we do this recently.  I suggested the Swedish Supergroup ABBA.

This was my first concert.

Giggity...  Damn Yankees just came on "Hair Nation"...

[Hardcore troubadour 12,593]

The Highwaymen. Fin’

[Big Guy 1,400]

A Supergroup is when great players from great bands come together to form a Super Group. Those players should also play the needed instruments to play ALL of the music. 

So IMO neither the Traveling Wilbury's or Damn Yankees don't really qualify.

[Big Guy 1,400]

this is an interesting topic

this also is an entertaining video, even though I don't agree with the Wilbury's

 

[Big Guy 1,400]

let's have a Supergroup of drummers 

yeah, that'll be fun

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566]

Supernova!!!

jk

The hell is a supergroup? Since Ive never heard of a single one in this thread it has to mean something else than just “a really good band”. Is it like a collaboration between already famous artists?

Yep.  The quality of said artists is open to debate, though.

Who in Damn Yankees was super?  Ever?

Nugent ruled the airwaves in 78ish.  
 

Shaw was with Styx who were also pretty great before they went lame.

Nugent was a regional thing. Two of his three popular songs were a slight step above a Weird Al parody. And Styx? A song about spacemen and “”Babe” are their claims to fame. Not super.

Nugent was regional?  He was on the airways in VA where I lived and my cousin in OK had all his albums.  He was THE guitar hero of that era until EVH showed up.   
Hey Baby, Stranglehold, Cat Scratch Fever, Wango Tango, Free For All. 
 

Styx did Renegade, Blue Collar Man and Come Sail Away before the Robot song and that other lame stuff.

Suite Madam Blue and Miss America are great songs as well.

And that will not be their legacy. Not my fault. Nugent?  kind of a joke. Sorry. Cat Scratch Fever, Wango Tango? Kinda childish. I’d be embarrassed for someone if they still listened to that. Also,  Come Sail Away was a  very good song till they botched the ending with the spaceman crap.

You guys are missing the greatest super group of all time

Cat Scratch and Wango were awesome if you were a freshman in HS when they came out.  I don’t queue them up now, but back then, they were fun rock songs.

Temple of the dog is Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell

[DonS 3,063]

I'm sure most of you won't know any of the members of Sons of Apollo, but it's a good lineup. 

Mike Portnoy - drums

Billy Sheehan - bass

Ex-Dream Theater keyboardist

Some guitarist that's been in other bands and is quite talented. 

[BufordT 371]

 .......for me at least.  Does a supergroup have to be at least great (not good) to be considered a "supergroup"?  If yes, then this thread is a superfail.

[DonS 3,063]

Sh1tty end of Styx reminds me of sh1tty end of Chicago.  I'm not a fan of Chicago, but their early stuff is completely different from the "popular" Peter Cetera sappy ballad crap fest.

Of any top rock songs ever list I've ever seen Stranglehold is always in the top 50.

Personally Free For All is my favorite album,Meatloaf sang lead vocals on five of the tracks,here's my favorite.
