From Blind Faith through to The Raconteurs, the band format commonly known as the Supergroup has consistently reared it's head in popular music with alarming regularity and varying success!

The supergroup concept has lead to my friends and I indulging in answering the following question on a regular basis...

Given carte-blanche to include whomever you would like, what would your supergroup line-up look like and what would be the groups name?

Do the people have to be alive, or can we include deceased mega-musicians?
