Rock music history highlights legendary supergroups and vocalists

Rock music history is defined by both legendary solo performers and influential supergroups. Notable supergroups include Blind Faith, featuring Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood; the progressive rock trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer; the counterculture voice Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and the Traveling Wilburys.

In discussions regarding vocal talent, AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has identified Paul Rodgers, founder of Free and Bad Company, as one of the greatest singers in the genre. Johnson noted the lasting impact of Rodgers' velvety voice, recalling his first impression of the singer performing ‘The Hunter’ over 50 years ago.
