Tough. I think I'd have to say The Beatles
Plenty of bands out there who were as good or better and quite a bit of their ground breaking stuff was plagiarised or influenced by other artists and made popular by them due to their standing. Still like their early stuff though before McCartney took them down the dirgy route :smile:

I’m getting a strange sense of deja vu....

After 4 years on NSC I am personally starting to see the same old, same old regurgitating itself.

Have we come to a crossroads in original topic threads?

Every time the adverts come on it's "Who killed the f*ing Zutons". I'm not buying it on principle.

Hi I'm Ned Ryerson :wave:

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch. Now we're talking.

I met Beaky, or may have been Titch at the Stonehenge festival in, I think 1979. Neither of us were in the best of conditions to identify anyone or anything. May have been Dozy :wink:

If we are being pedantic (which I am 😂) - A ‘supergroup’ isn’t a group that is super (which the Beatles were of course!) but one that is formed of musicians that were already famous in their own right and highly successful from playing in other groups (I‘m not sure the Quarrymen or Sutcliffe playing in a Bugle band before forming with the Beetles or Ringo’s hitherto career with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes is much of a qualifying criteria 😉)

But undoubtedly probably one of the best rock/pop groups ever formed and certainly one of the most influential…

A lot of the suggestions aren't really bands, just brief projects.

The days of proper supergroups were brief, in the 60's it was talented artistic driven thing, the 70's was coke fuelled with record company money . . . Come the 80's it was probably just bored paranoid 'recovering' millionaires looking to jam with people 'like them' there hasn't really been anything of note since the music industry stopped sharing the money.
