The greatest supergroups of all time

[jw5]

Supergroups are like matches made in musical heaven. Indeed, some of these bands managed to make great music, but sadly most of them didn't last long. Musical talent abounds in supergroups, but so do big personalities that sometimes clash with each other. Still, some of the world's greatest musicians collaborated to create music that many of us love.
