[Mellotroniac]

If you could make your own Supergroup, who would you put in it? I think I'll limit it to 4 band members.
If you REALLY must put yourself in the group you can. I myself am not terribly fond of Supergroups, but I
know people really like them. Here's an example=
1-Jimi Hendrix-Lead Guitar
2-Eric Clapton-Rhythm Guitar
3-Roger Waters-Bass
4-Keith Moon-Drums
You can make a name for the group too if you want to. I just wanna see different people's idea of their dream Supergroup. Living or dead muscians are allowed.
(Note: Thats not my dream Supergroup, I don't think Eric would be very happy in the Rhythm spot, but then again, I've never met the man.)

[alexis]

John Lennon - Rhythm
Paul McCartney - Bass
George ...    oh, sorry, just being p*ssante here ...

But seriously, I guess this would have to be a COVER band we're putting together, by definition. So we're looking at the best instrument players (vox included).

Jimmy Page - Rhythm
Paul McCartney - Bass
Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton - lead (Eric had to share the lead with Jimmy and Jeff Beck in the Yard Birds, it would be a blast from the past!)
Paul McCartney/John Lennon - Vocals
John Bonham and Ringo - Drums

I guess this would be called "The BeatLeds".  Hey, that's not too bad  

[fendertele]

ive always wanted this as my supergroup


Drums - Stewart Copeland
Bass & Lead Vocals - Paul McCartney
Guitar 1 - Graham Coxon
Guitar 2 & B/Vocals - John Frusciante
Keyboard/Piano & Lead Vocals - Brian Wilson

[DaveRam]

 I could never be in this group as i can't even play the spoons . But i could manage the band .
The group is called  " The Tripping Daffodils "
(jumping)

Bass - Paul McCartney
Drums - Dave Grohl
Guitar - Marc Bolan
Keyboard/ Piano /lead vocals - Tom Yorke

[mr kite]

Dead

 Lead Guitar - Jimi Hendrix  
Bass - John Entwistle
Drums - Kieth Moon
Vocals - Jim Morrison .

Alive

Jimmy Page - Lead Guitar
Robert Plant - Vocals
Neil Peart - drums
Roger Waters - Bass

[Mr. Mustard]

Jimi Hendrix -- Lead guitar and songwriter.  Honorable mentions to Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.
John Paul Jones -- Bass and keyboards.  Honorable mentions to John Entwistle and Paul McCartney.
Keith Moon -- Drums.  Honorable mentions to John Bonham and Charlie Watts.  (I might have put Entwistle on bass but then the band would have been too Who-heavy.)

So that leaves lead vocals.... so many to choose from:  Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder, Jim Morrison, Roger Daltrey, Janis Joplin, Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Plant, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Debbie Harry, Prince, Madonna, Bon Scott, David Lee Roth, Bono, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder, wow, I could go on for days.

But I won't.  So therefore, filling the role of lead singer, as well as rythym guitar, songwriter, piano and harmonica.... is John Lennon.

[Mr. Mustard]

Here's a variation on the theme:  

The All Songwriters Fantasy Band:

John Lennon -- vocals, rhythm guitar, harmonica
Jimmy Page -- lead guitar
Paul McCartney -- bass, vocals
Elton John -- piano, vocals
Don Henley -- drums, vocals

[Nelson_Wilbury]

Form your own best band of history choosing every musician.

You must put:
2 guitar players
1 bass (or doublebass) player
1 drummer
1 singer (minimum) (could be any musician or a singer only)

Optional:

other instuments (strings, brass or what you want)

An example, this is not my band

Guit 2: Eric Clapton
Bass: Sting
Drums: Keith Moon

I made a search but it's really hard find something, specially if the key words are "band" or "greatest" or "rock".

 

[DaveRam]

^^^ Think we did do something like this but it was awhile ago , think we had too name our supergroup
