eeriepadave posed this question in the "Them Crappy Vultures" thread. I think it's a great question. While I love Audioslave's first album, I thought the second was blah and the third sucked. Temple of the Dog is an obvious choice, but my fave at this very moment?
Velvet Revolver. Travelled 16 hours to see them on the Contraband tour. Great show. Fantastic album. Libertad didn't live up to the "sophmore" hype, but saw them in my hometown on that one anyway, and they killed.
My all-time favourite? No question. Mad Season destroys them all. Probably the only VHS I still watch not only regularly, but at ALL. Live at the Moore is unbelievable. RIP Layne.

I would say audioslave because I absolutely loved them. I have a feeling though that if Chris Cornell paired up with anyone I would absolutely love it. I was more into Audioslave for Chris than the other RATM components.
Other than that, I was a big fan of Audioslave and Velvet Revolver. Yea I said it; they could jam. Were they as great as their former bands?? Fooock no, but they were fun to watch, created relatively simple rock music, and helped to fill the rather large void of today's rock music scene.
I'm also really diggin' TCV at the moment, a great addition to the list.
Dylan & The Band
The Raconteurs
Neon Neon
The Postal Service
The Cake Sale
One Day As A Lion
Axis Of Justice
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Beck & Flaming Lips
the 1995 "Neil Jam" tour
Daniel Johnstons touring band in 2008 (Daniel Johnston, Jad Fair, Sparklehorse, Scout Niblett, and the bassist from Yo La Tengo)
Thom Yorke's current touring band would be up there too, if they had any recorded material!
but Mad Season wins hands down for me too.
never really liked "supergroups"
but the traveling wilburys were good
as was the firm with paul rodgers, chris slade and jimmy page
and I am embarrassed to admit that dug asia for a few years back in the 80s
easy pick for me too.
some of the best guitar-playing mike ever did, layne staley at his finest, mark lanegan pops in... it's incredible. it sounds more like a band than most side projects ever do.
2. The Traveling Wilburys
3. Them Crooked Vultures
Madison Square Garden 6/25/08
Looking forward to getting Them Crooked Vultures.
Monsters of Folk live is great.
The Dead Weather is a great side-project, not necessarily a super-group.
You could almost put QOTSA's Songs for Deaf up there since they always have a changing lineup.
A Perfect Circle would also be added as another great side project.
Velvet Revolver was great, but unfortunately the egos got in the way in the end.
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

Yeah, they had a couple of albums. Ummmmm. I can't think of it either. They had that one big hit off their fourth album but other than that I guess they didn't do a lot.
Cream rules all.

The guitarist....Jimmy...uh...Jimmy something-or-other...Yeah...He was ok. Not too well-known, of course...

Temple and Mad Season were also real good, but they only put out one album. Which is what i think Them Crooked Vultures will do.
Others which I liked:
A Perfect Circle
Velvet Revolver (first album was good, second album, no)
Army Of Anyone
Hellyeah
Zwan
Too early to tell:
Tinted Windows
Dead Weather

I would put down Audioslave as my #2 pick. I think you're probably right about Them Crooked Vultures, simply because Dave and Josh are so busy.
Not too much else to say, just wanted to post something so I could call Erie "The mistake on the lake."
Went to Edinboro for a year and still go into Erie all the time for doctor's appointments and whatnot. It's always nice to run into neighbors here in the Ten Club.
Best of luck Eeriepadave from up here in Dunkirk, and here's to Pat Monahan, Fred Biletnikoff, and Bob Sanders!
Actually never been to Erie, PA. Eeriepa was the name of a magazine one of my buddies and aq few other people including myself did. Unfortunately he kinda gave up on it due to advertising problems.

Don't want to get off topic, since this is a supergroup thread.
Best of luck anyways!

Ah... Gutter Twins... Totally slipped my mind!

It's tough for me. Right off I'd say Temple of the Dog, but it's probably a toss up with the Traveling Wilburys. Really!
