Oysterhead makes RS' Top Ten Supergroups!

[TOWOS]

The Rolling Stone 'Readers' Rock List -- Supergroups:
1. Cream
2. Velvet Revolver
3. Audioslave
4. Raconteurs
5. Traveling Wilburys
6. Temple Of The Dog
7. Derek & the Dominos
8. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
9. Oysterhead
10. Blind Faith
11. The Dead Weather
12. Bad Company
13. Chickenfoot
14. Foo Fighters
15. Mad Season

Well, as usual, "Top Tens" ruffle a few feathers (the Raconteurs before Blind Faith, Mad Season and Bad Company, for instance...) but I am soooo glad OH made it

I wonder how exhaustive the list of supergroups actually is

Good question.

Who's actually MISSING from that list?

Not that I'm not totally happy for OH, but I am curious.

[policerule]

Another question I'm curious to know that answer to....

Stewart either produced or co-produced (I forget and I'm too lazy to look it up) a track on the Primus album Antipop in 1999. I'd like to know how he got on board with that band (pretty much my second favorite band EVER, btw) and if his collaboration on that album led to the formation of Oysterhead.

Anyone?

Who's actually MISSING from that list?

Little Village should probably be on that list (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, & Jim Keltner).

omg...

[GinaSuperCat]

wut...

[GinaSuperCat]

massive glitch in my edit, sorry...!

[GinaSuperCat]

[quote="GinaSuperCat"][quote="GinaSuperCat"]YAY for Oysterhead, surely should be there!!!

Velvet Revolver but not the HIGHWAYMEN (Cash, Kristofferson, Jennings, Nelson)...ya I'm always a little beeaatch about these things but ffs and add a 'seriously' <grin> Sorry not a fan of VR at all, soo <giggle>

Were about to have our faces ripped off by Crooked Vultures, but that is yet still to be, at least until Sunday...<cheers>

Broken Social Scene is one of the most amazing supergroups (Canadian indie)...and definitely above some of these pics, just personal preference...

ummm ASIA, seriously, not here...<boggle> Dude, I did not hear a single thing about Asia in the 80s that did not situate them as like THE supergroup at the time...

Some more...Power Station, Lords of the New Church, A Perfect Circle, Special beat, I know there has to be more...[/quote][/quote]

The best supergroup that was but never recorded anything: Whores of Babylon (Dee Dee Ramone, Stiv Bators, Johnny Thunders)...wonder what they were doing <grin>

[GinaSuperCat]

not sure, but shouldn't ELP be considered a supergroup? Think it was, at least! ok, I'll stop f'in up this thread with my addenda, because y'all know me I can be here all the week on things like this <grin>

[smudge]

If a thing's worth saying, Ms Cat, it is worth saying thrice

With you on Broken Social Scene - although shamefully I have no recorded stuff - just one little gig that was magnificent.

Are A Perfect Circle still with us, or deceased due to scheduling complexities?

And I guess Them (Pesky) Crooked Vultures will either shred the list for all time, gulp down gollups of bloated rock flesh and make grown men weep that they couldn't be in Chicago this Sunday (I'm blubbing a bit about that), or fail to do justice to possibly the best viral marketing campaign ever and thereby kill off the supergroup for another generation. But, oh my, they'd have to try really hard to make it bad, wouldn't they?

[GinaSuperCat]

If you really dug BSS live I suggest picking up "You Forgot it in People," stat...

FUCK YES I vote for Asia, ELP and Power Station being on that list...I just spent about a week with the Power Station album on major repeat and I AM NOT ASHAMED.

How could I forget... thanks for jogging the memory, Miss Kitty!

Asia is out and touring right now;)

Agree with Sock here. I'm definitely not ashamed for my... eh hem... tastes.

[TOWOS]

The list was e-mailed to me, I did not see the actual RS copy - clearly ELP, ASIA, ANIMAL LOGIC, Beck Bogert and Appice, King Crimson Mach 2 with John Wetton and Bill Bruford etc should BE there - sorry about the Raconteurs, but, seriously... -

What I mean is that a friend emailed me the first 10. Maybe on the mag there are like 50 supergroups (delighted to see OH at no. 8 when monster musicians are not...
