I feel like I'm a bit late to the party, but here's my submission.

Lead Vocals - Peter Gabriel
Backing Vocals - Norah Jones
Lead guitar - Jeff Beck
Rhythm Guitar - Stone Gossard, Steve Howe
Bass Guitar - John Paul Jones
Drums - Neil Peart
Producer - William Orbit

I suppose the key is to find musicians that can not only put their egos to the side and collaborate, but that can also compliment each other.

Now that would make a Rap band I'd actually enjoy

A Supergroup needs multiple lead guitarists.
Preferably hundreds

Playing simultaneously.
All called Angus Young

AC/DC - who made who

Hmm! All supergroups tend to founder on the fact that there are too many egos and (as someone else mentioned) individual styles all mashing together.

What made the Beatles so effective was that there were no dazzling virtuoso players - just four guys who'd grown up together and thus knew intuitively how to create and craft a song together - no matter who had written it. They had a work ethic and a co-operative vibe.

So I have thought up a group of hardened but lesser-known pros who have played brilliantly over time without having their egos inflated beyond reasonable bounds.

Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) - vocals and keys

Mick Rogers (Earthband) - guitar and vocals

Dave Gregory (XTC) - guitars, keys.

Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span) - bass and vocals

Dave Mattacks (Fairports/Tull/McCartney/everyone) - drums

I really do think this would be a band worth watching.

audience, Elton John on piano

And for backing vocals, a great female singer, Boy George

Now, a drummer, how about Animal

The stage show will be choreographed by the moonwalking wonder

he can also help out with the pyrotechnics along with Kiss who will also provide some musical talent

And finally, what every band on tour needs, to be thrown off an airline for having their whiskey served with ice that isn't cold enough, so the tumbler gets thrown at the cockpit door...So I've chosen

Now, how much would you pay for a front row ticket and backstage pass ?

Band name, F@R@E@A@K@S !!!

Wow!

and the audience goes

with some radical stage diving

Ahhh! The last song leaving that " Heart empty feeling "

Tour Manager : "_ Really !?!? "
