+1 ASIA was a great super group of Prog guys that went straight forward...successfully. The S/T first album has sold over 7 million copies and the original lineup has put out two new albums in the last 4-5 years which are very good if you like the first 3 albums from ASIA.

John Wetton (Bass and Vocals): King Crimson, UK, Uriah Heep
Steve Howe (Guitar): Yes
Carl Palmer (Drums): Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Geoffe Downes (Keys): The Buggles and Yes

Asia had four strong musicians. The debut album was solid from beginning to end.

Them Crooked Vultures for me, too.
I understood their music after I saw them live. That was glorious, really.

Also, Miles Davis' band for Kind of Blue. Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Chambers, Wynton Kelly, and Bill Evans... awesome lineup.

The Raconteurs are sort of a supergroup. However, my favorite legitimate one is The Traveling Wilburys, far and away.

For me there was only 2 supergroups being the Beatles and Cream, though Cream was declared so, and everything following is less, in many ways.

 

[BBQV]

Niacin.
Sheehan - Chambers - Novello. What a band!

How were the Beatles a supergroup? I don't recall any of them being particularly well known before they were in the Beatles.
