Songs by a "Super Group" for lack of a better name.

[Fuelish]

Mad Dogs And Englishmen .... ya either know 'em, or unfortunately ya don't .... great band
Google, if need be, you young'uns

 

[Vibroluxer]

In the bluegrass world I’d say Old and in the Way,

Old and in the Way was the 1st all acoustic album I bought.

 

[Red Ryder]

The Texas Tornados

 

[Vibroluxer]

Heres a great version of Will the Circle...

Its from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and starts off with Johnny Cash. Levon Helm and Roy Acuff are both here as is Emmie Lou Harris and Ricky Scags. There are so many country royalty in this video I have to wonder how they all got together at the same time.

This is my favorite version of this song.

 

[Jakedog]

Blind Faith was called a "Supergroup". Clapton, Winwood, Baker, and Gretch. Their only LP has stood the test of time.

This is the first place my mind always goes when I hear the term “supergroup”.

This is the first place my mind always goes when I hear the term “supergroup”.

Same here.

 

[brookdalebill]

John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner

Amen!
Little Village was a brilliant, short-lived supergroup.

 

[stxrus]

Blind Faith is/was the first, and foremost, “supergroup“ in my mind.
I wore out 2-3 LPs and countless cassettes. I just realized I need another copy because there is nothing in my current collection (CDs and downloads) and a long, long time since I’ve listened to Blind Faith

 

[Wayne Alexander]

As a couple of people have mentioned above, The Traveling Wilburys.

Given the lean around here toward country, I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson)

 

[Chuckster]

Not everyone's definition of a supergroup, but it fits mine.

Electronic
Bernard Sumner - Joy Division, New Order

Johnny Marr - The Smiths, The The, Pretenders, Bryan Ferry, Modest Mouse

Neil Tennant - Pet Shop Boys

 

[Rustbucket]

The list of “Supergroups” on Wikipedia is exhausting. I think the term gets thrown around a bit too loosely. There should be at least 3 members who are well established as an individual artist/musician before earning that distinction IMO.

For example is Audioslave. They were great, but Band A swapping lead singers with Band B does not all of a sudden transform them into a Supergroup.

Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age on guitar and vocals, John Paul Jones on bass and keys, Dave Grohl on drums. Great album of vicious Dad rock if there is such a thing. I wish they’d do another album.

 

[bullfrogblues]

The Dukes of September

 

[unixfish]

My wife was playing the Travelling Wilburys when getting ready this weekend.

I think that qualifies.

 

[acoustic rob]

The group that recorded Kind of Blue. Miles Davis and John Coltrane are legends, Bill Evans and Cannonball Adderley are great (and died too young), and the rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb backed Wayne Shorter on his debut.



And then five years later Miles put together *another* supergroup with Herbie Hancock and--him again!--Wayne Shorter.

 

[Short on cash]

Blindfaith.....it's been mentioned here but I will add that if you
haven't heard it you don't know what you are missing.
One of my favorites and I still listen to it from time to time.

Do What You Like.....great tune.

 

[basher]

Dad rock, aka rock. TCV were freakin great.

 

[Jazzcaster21]

I know there are bands, even one time events, that are made up of mostly famous musicians.

So here is my super group song. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, and Jeff Lyne. Someone comes in at the end, another famous guy who is simply put a first class act, showman extrordinaire, and knows his way around a guitar. You have to watch the vieo to find out who it is but trust me, you know him.

Notice how happy Georges son is. I would be too.



Have any? Please post them.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Prince owns this.

Neil Tennant - Pet Shop Boys

100% agree. I wore that album out and several songs are still on my usual playlists

Like this one. Classic Marr, esp 2:28 or so

Someone may've beat me to this one:
