The concept of the Supergroup always seemed to be flawed in that it's so hard to size up or predict chemistry between the musicians. They always seem to disappoint I think because they take a professional approach to producing their music under this platform instead of being really emotionally derived. I know I'm generalizing but chemistry is so important...it is art after all.
What's Your Fantasy Supergroup?
Throughout the history of rock various established artist have joined together to form supergroups. Groups along the lines of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Asia, Blindfaith, Traveling Wilburrys, etc. So my challenge is for you to put together what you think would be a great band consisting of well known artists. The only guidelines I would offer is that the proposed band would have a primary vocalist and at least one songwriter.
Here's my fantasy band (a soul/gospel/funk outfit with a taste of New Orleans):
Mtume - percussionZiggy Modeliste - drumsJames Jamerson - bass guitarDavid Williams - rhythm guitarMac Rebennack - keyboardsPrince Rogers Nelson - lead guitar, vocalsAretha Franklin - piano, vocals
