Californiaman Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Must say I never do get tired of listening to the Traveling Wilburys. And the superstars in that band are a testament not only to their individuality but their collective quality as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Deep Purple? I don't think Deep Purple would meet the definition. None of the founding members were famous at the time, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You know Murph, I saw Deep Purple on the Perfect Strangers Tour and I'll have to say, that's my kind of music man. That was a great album and I think the follow up album was also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Nahum Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 i said cream cause i couldnt vote "other" cause it would have to be Old and in the Way' date=' vassar clemetns - fiddle jerry garcia - banjo,vocals david grisman, mandolin, vocals peter rowan - guitar, vocals john kahn - standup bass[/quote'] But for my money, even better is Strength in Numbers: Sam Bush - mandolin, violin Béla Fleck - banjo, guitar Mark O'Connor - violin, guitar, mandolin Edgar Meyer - bass Jerry Douglas - dobro And also the quintet that Miles put together in the mid-60s - Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

Bluezboy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Tie between Cream and Bad Company but i voted Bad Company because Cream's running away with it I'd've put the Damn Yankees on here if this were my list though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm going out on a limb here, but I think Blue is just messing with you all. Aside from the obvious Cream. 'The Firm' is there, but not Zep or Floyd. 'The Firm', come on? Maybe I'm the one missing the point. What is the definition of 'Supergroup'?

Bluemoon Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm going out on a limb here' date=' but I think Blue is just messing with you all. Aside from the obvious Cream. 'The Firm' is there, but not Zep or Floyd. 'The Firm', come on? Maybe I'm the one missing the point. What is the definition of 'Supergroup'? [/quote'] It a group formed by at least two famous members of another group. That is why Deep Purple doesn't work, Zep, and Floyd. Most of the Supergroups in the 70s and 80s only lasted for an album or two. They basically get together to make one album then go on a mega tour. To take a page out of KSG's book: Source: Wikipedia In the late 1960s, the term supergroup was coined to describe "a rock music group whose performers are already famous from having performed individually or in other groups."[1][2] Supergroups tend to be short-lived, often lasting only for an album or two. Additionally, supergroups are often formed as side projects that are not intended to be permanent. Some of the most well-known supergroups include: 1960s groups Cream, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Blind Faith; 1970s groups ABBA, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Bad Company; the 1980s & 1990s groups The Firm, The Traveling Wilburys, Asia, and Power Station; and the 2000s-era metal/hard-rock band Velvet Revolver, and 2006 group The Good, the Bad & the Queen. It is not a rigidly defined category and it can be applied subjectively. Some music writers use the term to describe groups that sold huge numbers of albums and headlined massive concerts regardless of the previous fame of their individual members. In some cases, it has become merely a marketing term used to promote a new ensemble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 That being the case I'm going with Cream. They would have been in the top 5 'Supergroup' or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
