For a gig or two, yes, incredible, goosebumps..

As a longer term project …. what about Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young? Although I think it was ruined by egos and Young treating it with disdain.

Name a better lineup...

 

[Mellotron]

Audioslave and Them Crooked Vultures both worth a mention for me, Clive.

How does that beat the first two videos?

Blind Faith

 

[Gabbafella]

 

[Hugo Rune]

Tomahawk

Depends on your criteria, loads of great bands formed of musicians with previous success, Foo Fighters for example. If you can work it backwards, how about a band that had Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, all unknown before they formed The Yardbirds

Better vocals, better harmonies, more than one good song..............

Crosby, Stills and Nash - before Young muscled in.

Asia, perhaps?

Cream, surely - Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker (one of my favourite drummers of all time up there with Art Blakey and Neil Peart) - great musicians in their own right

And Clapton of course - Who uses a Wah like that these days - what a sound?!

 

[Pevenseagull]

BNQT



Midlake, Franz Ferdinand, Grandaddy, Band Of Horses and Travis.





The correct answer is Cream



Or CSN&Y

They weren’t really a ‘supergroup’ as such though were they - assembled for a short term project - ( Clapton of course had already played lead guitar on the song on the White Album so it wasn’t novel he was there) you should probably also include Band Aid too in that case for line up alone which trumps the line up of the TWs in terms of sheer numbers of existing recording artists coming together Awful song though - you’d think a bunch of musicians could come up with something better!

I think the song was the work of Midge Ure and Bob Geldolf, everyone else just turned up and recorded.

Yes it was but I would have refused to sing on it unless parts of it were rewritten - mind you, with Duran Duran and Banarama in the studio, I guess there wouldn’t have been much hope of that.

Clapton seems to appear in many of the suggestions, I am going for this being the best lineup of all
