Episode 170 - The Supergroup Mixtape (Side A)

Download

170 goddamn episodes. Jeez. Y’know, we’ve actually had a chat about supergroups on this podcast before. Twice, in fact. But we’ve had to cut it out of the episode because the discussion just went on for far too long. Which surely meant that we’d need to do an episode on supergroups just to do the topic justice.

Or two episodes, as it happens. In part one Chris lays out his five supergroup categories, and we place some of our favourite supergroups in those buckets. It ranges from “Just a band” to “unicorns” and everything in between, including hangovers and desperation. It’s a very handy list, and many bands crossover into more than one category. Including some of our own picks (which we’ll get to next week).

We also talk about some good supergroups, some not so good supergroups, in what is essentially just a massive list of bands we like. We also missed a TON, so please don’t take this list as exhaustive and we’re sorry if we missed your favourite ones out.

Next week, we talk about the three albums we’ve chosen. You’ll need to listen to the episode to find out what they are though. Not going to give it away that easily.

Also shout out to friend of the pod Ferrucio for giving us his brief take on supergroups. He will return. Soon…
