Rock

The best supergroups ever made are those favorite bands who were pieced together from former members of other great bands who came together to make new music. As it goes in the music business, bands are constantly breaking up. Some musicians go on to solo projects while others join fellow displaced musicians to form new groups and continue their music careers. These are the very best supergroups ever made with each containing at least two members who were in well known bands prior to joining this new rock group.Creating supergroups is not a new concept, in fact, one of the best supergroups ever created did it way back in 1966. Cream, which was formed by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, is not just one of the best supergroups of all time but also one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-rock-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">best rock bands of all time</a>. The 1960s and 1970s actually had many great supergroups with other favorites such as Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young, Blind Faith, Emerson, Lake &amp; Palmer, Derek and the Dominos, Journey, Bad Company and Little River Band all forming during those times from well known members who previously played with different groups.Moving forward, another great bunch of supergroups formed in the 1990s and 2000s. The likes of the Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, Alter Bridge and Chickenfoot all formed using members who previously saw success with other groups before joining these bands and earning a second level of fame.While it's easy to argue whether the original bands or the newly formed supergroups deserve higher ranking among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-500-musical-groups-and-artists-of-alltime/clark-benson" target="_blank">top 500 musical groups and artists of all time</a> each of these bands show a respectable level of persistence. Just because their first (or second or third in some cases) band didn't last didn't stop them from making sweet music for all to enjoy.

Like everyone else in the workforce, even our favorite rock stars need some time off from seeing his or her bandmates on occasion. This is why side projects have existed and why rock bands have spawned other bands and at times, been more creative and experimental than what fans are used to. Sometimes, the result is as good, if not better than the original outfit. Though that doesn't happen often, it does happen from time to time that the side project is the best, most creative outlet for individual members that he or she can't achieve in their regular band. It can mean experimenting with synths or hardcore, or music like IDM or even EDM. Other times, it means powerhouses like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/bob-dylan/604347">Bob Dylan</a>, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/tom-petty/2258790">Tom Petty</a>, George Harrison of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/the-beatles/2176463">The Beatles</a> join forces, same for hip hop icons <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/jay-z/1273519">Jay-Z</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/review/kanye-west/1347110">Kanye West</a>. Here are some of the best side projects in music history, which vary from genre to genre. The end result is the same however: the better the individual parts, the better the band. If a side project like the Traveling Wilburys or Atoms For Peace doesn't have the components like each respect project has, then they're unlikely to get the recognition. Even a group like indie super side project The Postal Service wouldn't be as known if not for the participation of Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis.Here are some of the top side projects of all time.&nbsp;

A subgenre of alternative rock, grunge music is a stripped down version of rock, but also includes elements of&nbsp;hardcore punk and heavy metal along with distorted guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and angry lyrics. Some of the best bands of that decade are grunge bands. The best grunge bands are also considered among the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-rock-bands-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">greatest bands of all time</a>.&nbsp;

Other grunge music artists include Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Screaming Trees.
