I don't recall any "Super Group" that's ever had a huge amount of success. Usually, they put out one or two songs and you never hear about them again. Zwan anybody?

Well, Cream have always been called a supergroup (the first according to wikipedia), and they certainly had success.

:O Is this a one time thing or are they a proper band now?

If so, fuck that. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing a reality show about it.

Clapton was involved in several. Mostly because he's a session guitarist trapped in a rock star's talent. Supergroup is a marketing term, musicians have always collaborated.

It's the supergroups that are put together specifically to be a supergroups that are generally less than the some of their parts. Some record producer will burn in hell for the Traveling Wilbury's.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young?
Emerson, Lake & Palmer?
A Perfect Circle?
And a little band called Journey?

Did CSNY have any hits before they were CSNY? Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Journey I have no idea, and was there anyone else famous other than whatshisname from Tool in A Perfect Circle.

Velvet Revolver is/was a half-decent supergroup tho.

CSNY members had hits with there former groups,
Crosby- The Byrds
Stills- Buffalo springfeild

Journey had members from bands like Santana, andSteve Miller Band so yes there

And A Perfect Circle is made up of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Marilyn Manson members

The Raconteurs are a great "supergroup".

For some reason I have high hopes for Tinted Windows. I'm not really a fan of any of their respective groups, but a mix that fucking out of left field has to be interesting at least.
