Name a band or a song that was a collaborative effort of several artists from different groups.

[Boogie]

[Fran Kubelik]

1. The Traveling Wilburys

[Scarlett17]

2. You beat me to it. . .

that was my first thought, too.

[Fran Kubelik]

3. Hindu Love Gods

Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Warren Zevon, and Bill Berry.

[Scarlett17]

4. Cream

Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce. Formed to be the "cream of the crop".

[Merrick]

5. Mad Season

Layne Staley from Alice in Chains, Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees and a bunch of other guys. Wake Up and River of Deceit are both great songs, the rest of their one album "Above" was so-so by their standards.

[Elidor]

6. CSN&Y

Oddly, I do not like CSN&Y, so I don't know why they came to mind. Neil Young is the only one of the bunch who appeals to me, though they've done a couple songs that I can get into.

Tony Thompson is one helluva drummer. His work with Power Station was impressive. He sat in with Zeppelin at Live Aid. (I believe he and Phil Collins both did the drumming.)

[Initech]

7. Oysterhead

Les Claypool from Primus
Stewart Copeland from The Police
Trey Anastasio from Phish

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. No, I was thinking of that guy with the hair.

He always wore a shirt.

19. The drummer actually was in another band.

It was called "Rory Storm and the Hurricanes." Now he occasionally tours with his own "All Star" band. Ravi Shanker's guitar playing friend also later joined the Travelling Wilburys. The John and Yoko guy was with the Plastic Ono band and once sang on stage with Elton John. The Wings guy did a couple of duets with Michael Jackson. They got around.

29. Walk This Way by Run-DMC

(for years this has been my stock answer whenever anyone has asked for a song of any sort - most romantic, best country song etc. Always "Walk This Way by Run-DMC". Today this is actually a correct answer. Maybe it is time to retire it and pick a new song. Thoughts?)

35. Howlin' Wolf...."The London Sessions"

The Bluesman put together a pretty good session band out of some guys hanging around the studio...

keybord: Stevie Winwood
drums: Charlie Watts
bass: Bill Wyman
guitar: A guy named Eric Clapton


listen especially to Clapton talking the Wolf into playing "Little Red Rooster" with the band when the Wolf doesnt really want to.
"I don't think I can play it unless I can follow you," Clapton says.
Wolf responds, "Oh MAN, C'MON!"
as if to say
"Come ON! You're fucking Eric Clapton and you can't play"Little Red Rooster?"
but he plays it with them anyway.
