Favorite Supergroup Album?

[ELVIS]

I wuld say Whitesnake was a supergroup for a very short period when the band, or at least the recording band was Coverdale, Steve Vai, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and Don Airey...and maybe Adrian Vandenberg on Slip Of The Tongue...

I saw that tour and they really performed as one would expect a "supergroup" to do...

[Andy Taylor]

The Power Station.

Some asshole took down the track Living in Fear.

Badly?

[binnie]

Despite that fact that they soon ended up sounding like Hootie and the Blowfish, I would say that I still enjoy the first Audioslave record immensely.

Probably two or three too many tunes on there - a little self editing would have made the album as a whole far more appealing - but some outstanding material on that disc....

I forgot about them. I love their cd.

[FORD]

I dunno FORD...

The Chequered Past Underworld live clip didn't do much for me...

Got anything else thet might represent them a bit better ??

That clip was sloppy, boring, and the "YEAH YEAH!" was aggravating as hell...

Not a lot from them on You Tube. I did find another song from the album though.... the lyrics to this one are almost as bad as something Hagar would write, but musically, it's pretty good.

"World Gone Wild"

FORD, have you ever heard of Detective? This was the band Des Barres was in before Chequered Past. The band also featured Tony Kaye, the original keyboard player for YES. They were signed to Swan Song, and recorded to sound as much like Zep as possible (Jimmy Page produced).

Believe it or not, I actually have "It Takes One to Know One" on vinyl somewhere. I actually picked it up at Goodwill for like a buck or something in the mid 80's. I'd heard Chequered Past and Des Barres stint with the Power Station, and figured Zeppelin wouldn't have signed them to Swan Song if they were too terrible. Though I thought they were more a poor man's Stones or Faces than they were Zeppelin imitators. "Help Me Up" might as well be titled "Stay With Me (part II)"

Well, technically the thread was about supergroup albums and the Dirty Mac only managed one song (No, I'm not counting that noise with Yoko screaming over it). They were one Hell of a band for about 5 minutes though.

[chefcraig]

Believe it or not, I actually have "It Takes One to Know One" on vinyl somewhere. I actually picked it up at Goodwill for like a buck or something in the mid 80's. I'd heard Chequered Past and Des Barres...

Yep, I bought both albums, plus I had a white label of the radio station-only live album, as well. They weren't awful, yet you are correct they were nothing special. Des Barres' earlier group Silverhead were pretty much the same thing, as The Replacements once sang: "Playin' make-up, wearing guitar".

[78/84 guy]

Damn Yankee's were great live !! Seen them like 7 time's. I could do without the more ballad like stuff. At least Ted didn't let them sing about losing pussy on them !! Rock City, Coming Of Age & Bad Reputation were cool tune's. How bout Chicken Little ??!! Is that their name ?? The Firm were good. Have a great live cd of them. The song's are much better live.

[chefcraig]

...The Firm were good. Have a great live cd of them. The song's are much better live.

The Firm were terrific live. I saw them on the tour for the second album Mean Business, sometime in 1985. It's a shame this energy didn't transfer all that well to the studio recordings, which sound flat by way of comparison.
