Best supergroup ....... ever!
Well it's gotta be 'the Traveling Wilburys'.
How's this for a cast:
Jeff Lynne
Roy Orbison [rip]
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
George Harrison [rip]
I believe even 'the Boss' had a go, but couldn't hack it.

Oh, and there all Gretsch fanatics I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

life is tooooo short.enjoy the moment.dont worry be happy
How about Led Zep plus Bez from the Happy Mondays?
On a more serious note, I'd discount the Wilburys as it was a vanity project rather than a proper group. Asia, Cream and CSN&Y are all supergroups.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

Club Timed Climate
Club Flappy paddle steering wheel
Club 300bhp
Club Prospeed test pilot/lab rat

Might be a bit premature this, but as the original thread is about super groups, (Groups that exist purely of members from other great bands!),
Them Crooked Vultures!!
Josh Homme (QOTSA)
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)

John Paul Jones (Led Zepppppppp) The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

DarrenSome people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them!!!!!!
Don't know if they had a name as a group but the collection of musos playing at the end of "The Secret Policmans other Ball", which included Phil collins, Sting, Eric Clapton & more than a few others was stunning.Did you think I would leave you crying,
