What is the best "super group" in history? There are a bunch of great ones. My top 5 would be as follows:

1.Traveling Wilburys
2.The Highwaymen
3.Temple of the Dog
4.Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young
5.Cream

I like Asia and Audioslave for the category, but hard to argue with Cream or the Wilburys on pure talent/influence, for sure.

Is Cream really a supergroup? Blind Faith would be the more appropriate answer

That is a broad interpretation of supergroup. Do Derek And The Dominos count?

yes
bruce, baker and clapton were the three kings of british blues at the time. there had never been anything like cream before

cream is the answer to the OP's question, everyone else is fighting for 2nd place

John Mayall was the king of British blues at the time. Clapton came from his band.

Baker was highly regarded as a drummer, but Bruce was pretty much just another musician.

I would say Cream but does The Dirty Mac count:

Lennon, Clapton, Richards, Mitch Mitchell
