Supergroups are often very lame, lets discuss ones who are oh so un-lame...
Naked City (duh): Zorn, Eye, Bill Frissel, Frith, Wayne Horvitz, Joey Baron. Easily the most awesomest supergroup ever, definitley made way more (amazing) records than most of them
Yona Kit: Jim O'Rourke, KK Null, Darin Gray of the Dazzling Killmen, and Thymme Jones of Cheer Accident. These guys were basically like a skin graft all star team, if anyone hasnt heard them i suggest they do so right away, really agressive, super intricate math rock.
Fantomas: Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, Trevor Dunn, and ol' Buzz. Some people would argue these guys suck and directors cut is their only good record, I disaree, I like all their records, I just like how the music is so much different and weird than any of the members' main bands. I mean the drummer from Slayer is playin with these guys, who is my favorite drummer by the way.
Painkiller: Zorn, Bill Laswell, Mick Harris. People prolly dont realize how influential these guys were. I mean in 91, not many bands were mixing Grindcore and Free Jazz so seamlessly, now tons of grindcore bands have the free jazz influences.
Massacre/Skeleton Crew: Fred Frith has an incredible knack for putting a shitload of ridiculously talented musicians in a room together and somehow making it work with incredible results.
ok everybody, lets add to this list.
