Who were the Super Bands??
My favourite was always Chicago - Terry Kath was probably the most underrated guitarists of all time. Drugs and booze took their toll on Terry - he was a gun freak and one day he placed a gun to his head and said -'It's not loaded' -well the clip was empty - but there was one bullet in the breach. Those were his last words.
Jimi Hendrix - once said of Terry -'Do I really have to follow on after him!' - Chicago were the opening band for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Hendrix worshipped Kath. Most famous for 25 or 6 to 4 - I'm a man - Freeform Guitar - and many many more. Peter Cetera knew that the band had died with Terry - and despite being still one of the top selling bands of all time (More than the Beatles in LP's) they are still second only to The Beach Boys for record sales. Those two Bands also toured together. Terry used a Fender Telecaster (Same here) but he preferred the sound of a stratocaster but hated the weight. So he used the neck pick up of the Tele and the Hummies of a Strat. A unique sound - me - I prefer the strat.

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
I agree, a unique band.
I think a generalisation would be which performers music will you still be whistling as you walk along when your 70. Those will be the super performers of your era. Wnderwall perhaps?

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Having played the drums for the last 20 odd yrs... Rush and Dream theater are two of my all time favs... for the simple fact that Neil Pert and Mike Portnoy are simply amazing! The techniques, time changes, skill, it just baffles me! There is no one else in the world that will ever beat the tracks that they laid down in the 70's! Lars tried... and failed miserably
.02 Here's a quick vid YouTube - Mike Portnoy - DVD Liquid drum theater - When the water ... definitely one of the best in the world that's TIGHT! Neil's still the best! http://youtube.com/watch?v=qUICMEqdAlM Last edited by Ne0; 06-22-2007 at 02:43 PM. Reason: added link to video Liquid Drum Theater and had to add one for Neil too!

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Emmerson, Lake and Palmer - ELP
Keith Emmerson is still rated as the best ever keyboards player - period -his talent is unique. Carl Palmer was a good drummer, but so was Danny Seraphine from Chicago - But I gues Buddy Rich still grabs the title. Greg Lake had a fantastic voice - but he too has landed with a bump - he went solo last year and began touring hailed as the 'originator of King Crimson and ELP' - he sold 50 (fifty) tickets at Skegness Embassy! How the mighty fall.

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
No offense, but you guys haven't mentioned a single band in this thread I don't turn the channel on if they hit the radio.
Of course, I don't really listen to the radio... but - you get the point. Except Hendrix, but he wasn't a band - just referenced in context of another band. Rush's drummer is a great drummer and I can dig that, but 2 seconds of Geddy Lee's voice makes me want to stab icepicks into my ears.

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Kgun would probably like Seals and Crofts too,
one of my favorite easy listening groups
http://www.sealsandcrofts.com/main.html,... But hardly considered the best of all time.
John Lord of Deep Purple is king of the keyboards if you ask me and as a band they are great but probably not the greatest, close though. Jimmy Page is master of the guitar, like Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin is awesome but Plant seems fruity to me I can get over it though. KISS can rock boulders but they look stupid to me sorry misterscreenjeans I wont look! Black Sabbath Ozzie Rules Rock! Ted Nugent Frampton Stevie Ray Vaughn Damn Good Stuff! There are soo many GREATS! Pink Floyd HEART ... is the best GIRL Band!!

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
I know it's small to quibble over spelling -especially with guys who don't speak English as their first language...
but 'In the Gettho' sounds more like a Nelly or 50 cent joint.

Do you know why I should like to learn Russian now? So much is happening in East Europe, and Russian is to most people there, like English in the west. Those countries also have some great mathematicians and statisticians. Finnish, I have extreme problems, even if it is our neighbour country. Some of them only know Finnish and not a single English word. Here is another favourite: Morning has broken and of course Wild World. Not to forget double Eurovision Song Contest, Grand Prix winner, Irish Johnny Logan. Have you met a woman / man from Ireland that can not sing?

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Woa. What a question (did I say the same on the Movies thread?)
 Anyway Nirvana without a doubt, then in no particular order: Beatles (Abbey Road is the best) G 'n' R The Stones Queen The Kinks The Clash Green Day As for solo artists, I hope Amy Winehouse isn't referred to in the past tense as she is awesome. Hope she sorts herself out soon. Last edited by dharrison; 07-16-2007 at 07:18 PM.

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Nice combo, but I wouldn't think you could call them a Super Band, unless you were being VERY subjective. But....if you're going in that direction, try Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra (and don't even think about including ANY band which played "Tobacco Road").

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Ok let's see...
Mamas and the Papas. (<--- two women and two guys marcie!) Simon & Garfunkel Pink Floyd U2 The Cars Actually most bands in the 80's also make my list, but my short list is comprised of just a few from the 60's, 70's, and 80's.

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Super bands.
Apparently Supertramp were one of the first "Super bands" but I never rated them very highly. It came over as the musical equivalent of painting by numbers... My own personal super bands? Just a few of them here... ELO, Cheap Trick, Blondie, Wizard, Jefferson Airplane, Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Savage Rose (best band out of Denmark, imo) Fat Mattress, Keef Hartley Band... Ah! The memories!

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Well, discounting all the Swedish money music (Abba etc), I think you have to go a long way to come even close to NHØP (Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen), but there again, not a Super Band (what does "Super" actually mean in this context ? What's a band ?)

Re: Who were the Super Bands??
Abba won the all times best GP melody with Waterloo. But noboy can IMO touch Sibelius as the porducer of the greatest overall music in Scandinavia.
Yes, what is a band? What is music? What is noise? The first time I heard the Rolling Stones it was noise to me personally. IMO Rolling Stones did not touch The Beatles when I was young. I like them better today. Sibelius was super IMO. His music is super and some of the bands who play his music are Super Bands, again IMO.
