Definitional wrangling aside, we all love debating the merits - or otherwise - of supergroups.  
Not a scientific poll, so I am sure you will let me know if your favourite acronym is missing...

Certainly in the 70s they were considered one on the other side of the pond.  Anyway, I did write 'definitional wrangling aside...' Smile

I didn't want to get into definitional wrangling but the Santana/Steve Miller pedigree seems to qualify them - I recall in the 70s that prog fans were keen on them along with the likes of Kansas, Styx, etc.

Yes, their 3 pre-Steve Perry albums had definite progressive qualities

ELP

Formed in 1970 from 3 significant late sixties bands.

Keith Emerson - From The Nice came a virtuoso keyboard player well versed in classical and jazz styles as well as a 'rocking' Hammond player. Dubbed the 'Hendrix of the organ' due to his penchant for attacking the organ like it was his enemy. In ELP he found a band that could match his ambition to fully integrate symphonic, jazz and rock together as evidenced on the superb debut album.

Greg Lake - From King Crimson came this smooth English vocal talent. Brought up on lead guitar, he became a very technically proficient bass player in prog innovators King Crimson. Not only an excellent musician he was often seen in a white suit helping to woo the few ladies that ventured out to an ELP gig!

Carl Palmer - From Atomic Rooster and already well established as one of the finest young talents in the English drumming scene, Palmer could whip up one hell of a storm on stage. A fan of Buddy Rich , he once banged on his hero's hotel room during a tour demanding drumming tips. The two went on to become firm friends.

Could have voted for UK, ELP or Transatlantic but I decided to show Liquid Tension Experiment some love.
