10 Best Supergroups In Hard Rock And Metal

10. Blind Faith

When it comes to the greatest guitarists in rock and roll, Eric Clapton is pretty much the embodiment of the lonesome drifter. Much like the blues artists that he has emulated, evert facet of Clapton's career has created some form of impeccable rock and roll, even when he's doing one-offs like the lovelorn Derek and the Dominos project. If you want to hear him getting back in tune with himself though, Blind Faith makes for a pretty healthy cocktail.

While not exactly on the level of something like Cream in terms of raw heaviness, Clapton's third supergroup at this point was one of his most worn-in, with Ginger Baker bringing in some of his more ferocious drum performances left over from Cream. Although Clapton could have easily gotten by singing the vocal tracks for this album, bringing in Steve Marriott from Traffic was a genius move at the time, providing just the right amount of soulful grit into the mix on songs like Can't Find My Way Home.

Aside from the more radio friendly stuff, the deep cuts like Had to Cry Today and Baker's invention Do What You Like stand as some of the wildest compositions to ever have Clapton's name associated with it. We're a long ways off from the Yardbirds days, and yet you can still hear that blues as pure as ever across this record.
