The Top 10 Best Supergroups of rock music

Leave a comment

In celebration of the new Chickenfoot album coming out soon, I thought it would be fun to make a top 10 Best supergroups of rock n’ roll music.

Here are my choices in the list below along with videos:

1. The Traveling Wilbury’s (Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and George Harrison…4 huge superstars in a cool rock n’ roll band that I always admired, loved their music!)

2. CSNY (This band includes members from Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies, and the Byrds. If you don’t think this is a supergroup, then what are they?)

3. Cream (Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker, hell yeah)

4. Derek & the Dominos (Another Eric Clapton supergroup that I always loved. Duane Allman at his best!)

5. Bad Company (This band has members from Free, Mott the Hopple, and King Crimson. I’ve always loved Bad Company and always loved their hit in the video below, great song…)

6. Temple of the Dog (Some of the guys in Soundgarden and Pearl Jam both joined forces to do an album in tribute for Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone. This was an incredible and mind blowing album…)

7. Them Crooked Vultures (Dave Grohl teams up with John Paul Jones, to make this excellent album released in 2009. I wish they would get together and make another album, dammit…!!!)

8. Chickenfoot (Sammy’s best project in a long while, I really loved the first Chickenfoot album and looking forward to the second album…)

9. Oysterhead (Band includes Phish’s, Trey Anastasio, Primus’s, Les Claypool and the Police’s, Stewart Copeland. I thought this band was fantastic. “The Grand Pecking Order” was such a fine album and so unique, I wish they would get together to make another record too…)

10. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (I’ve always loved this album. Used to listen to it on vinyl all the time…)

Enjoy!

Edit to add: I took the videos off ’cause it was making this site too slow with too many videos.

Thought: A Metallica and Megadeth supergroup collaboration needs to happen soon!

Leave a comment

Now that the Metallica and Megadeth feud is finally over with, does that mean there is a possible collaboration in the works sometime in the future? I think it might be a possibility that members of Metallica and Megadeth could collaborate on a studio album together in a supergroup, but giving it a different band name.  I can definitely see it happening. Maybe James, Kirk, and Lars can do a side project with Dave Mustaine, Chris Broderick and bassist Dave Ellefson with a new studio album with original songs. I can see this supergroup doing a tour together, playing a mix of Metallica and Megadeth hits along with their new originals.

Maybe Metallica and Megadeth will discuss a project together when both bands are done touring.Metallica and Megadeth looked great together on stage at Sonisphere, so I think a supergroup between them would work.

Hey, if it worked for supergroups like Chickenfoot and Them Crooked Vultures, why not Metallica/Megadeth form a supergroup for an album and tour? Again, it’ll probably happen but it definitely won’t happen right away.
