HTF = How the Fuck...
Arguably right about Cream, but I think first "supergroup" more than power trio in their case.
ELP's use of synth over lead guitar raised the bar in my mind. Plus percussionist, Carl Palmer (he hated being called a drummer) brought more to the kit than Ginger... at least the Cream version of Ginger. Blind Faith? Closer call...
King Crimsom's Fripp popped up on projects all over including Bowie's Scary Monsters... another acquired taste. Other than him ELP's Greg Lake is the only other member I know of that emerged... but then he's the only other member I can name.
Side story: In the Court of's legendary gatefold artwork was faithfully reproduced freshman year at Case on the long interior walls of his suite by a guy named Chris something. End to end and floor to ceiling... one side on one wall, the other on the other... on the order of 8.5' by 14'. Even straight they were awesome...
Roxy was so cool. Brian Ferry's solo work... not so much, but had moments.
