All Time Best Supergroup - The Traveling Wilburys

[LynneSin]

I love how they paid tribute to Roy Orbison who was an original Wilbury and died a few months after the album was released

1. There is some heavy competition

[Rambis]

2. Blind Faith

6. +1

3. Agree 100%

They were awesome together.

[cemaphonic]

4. I don't know about 'best', but they worked out a lot better than I would have expected.

And they seemed to have been a catalyst for getting Dylan to start giving a fuck again, which was nice.

What I've always wanted to know is: on "Tweeter and the Monkeyman," is Dylan making fun of Springsteen, or doing a friendly homage? The song doesn't seem particularly mean-spirited, but Dylan's always come across as being pretty catty, so I wonder.

5. Maybe not a "supergroup" per se, but certainly a great - and fleeting - musical collabaration:

Derek and the Dominos covering Hendrix's "Little Wing"...

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. Here's a little heresy regarding Little Wing

I've always thought that Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of Little Wing (released posthumously on The Sky is Crying) was better than Jimi Hendrix's version. I know it's Jimi's song, and so did SRV. The story goes that Vaughan refused to release his take on Little Wing because it would have been a disservice to Hendrix.

10. Maybe so. They're both awesome in their own way. And out of all the guitarists clearly influenced by

Hendrix, I would only put maybe Robin Trower on a similar level to SRV. Listen to any live version of "Bridge of Sighs" if you don't believe me.

18. I saw Trower play about three years ago.

So good. So loud.

19. Here's a vintage clip:

8. But I love ...

Asia and Mike+the Mechanics.

(ducks)

(runs and hides)

[nomorenomore08]

11. Asia I'll go to bat for, to some extent. "Heat of the Moment" was a great bombastic pop song.

But obviously not a stitch on what their precursor bands had produced.

[LynneSin]

24. I saw Asia in concert last year - they were amazing

Steve Howe is such a talented guitar player and so underrated!

[ok_cpu]

12. Don't forget Toto n/t

[Throd]

9. Damn Yankees n/t

[LynneSin]

25. Sorry any band with Ted Nugent in it

Isn't a Superband but a Superyuck!

[Lost_Count]

13. I was always a Justice League guy...

[RebelOne]

14. Love it. I haven't heard that song in years. n/t

[JimDandy]

15. This is on my all time favorite songs list. n/t

[HarveyDarkey]

16. This was pretty awesome

[nomorenomore08]

20. The version of "Wake Me, Shake Me" from that one is awesome.

Now that I finally have a turntable I should track it down on vinyl.

[nomorenomore08]

22. Shit, actually that was from the Blues Project LP! Disregard what I said!

[denem]

17. George Harrison, smiling, happy, in full voice

damn these things still cut me so. Vale, Roy Orbison, cheers Bob Dylan.

[civillawyer]

21. The Highwaymen and A Perfect Circle

n/t, except Judith rocks.

[Waiting For Everyman]

23. Agree. The two I play the most
