Post here - Favorite Supergroups [View all]

Groups are band that are formed when a bunch of big name musicians get together to put create an album. Most of the members are usually known for other groups they belong to but do these supergroups in order to put out 1 or 2 albums.

My favorite Supergroups:

Traveling Wilburys - this was a Supergroup back in the late 80s that included Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne(ELO), George Harrison (the Beatles), Tom Petty and Roy Orbison. Orbison passed away a few months after the album came out. There was a 2nd album by the Wilbury's but not as good as the first one.

Them Crooked Vultures - David Grohl (Foo Fighters/Nirvana), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme (Queen of the Stone Age)

What are your favorite Supergroups?
