One of the Best Forgotten "Supergroups"

Totally forgot about these guys. In the 80's these various "Supergroups" were formed by one or two members of a "known band" coming together for a collabartive album. This had two members of Duran Duran (on Hiatus) and the drummer from Chic, and a singer that had a soulful voice. Many tried, some suceeded, but this one was truly on the best! This (effectively) studio album re-launched Robert Palmer's career, laying the groundswell for what would make him a superstar. The guitars from the two (Duran Duran) Taylor's are some of the best ever, and Tony Thompson (from the band Chic) was just one hell of a drummer. Sadly, the rest or the Power Station (Live Aid, etc, etc) is quite sad, because Palmer left to do his thing, and Michael DesBarres picked up his spot. DesBarres is not devoid of talent, but he anit no Robert Palmer. If you can find it on You Tube, check out the only recorded "live" performance of the original band members from Saturday Night Live in 1985.

Power Station are Amazing!!

brings back memories, the sexy videos and great music! The Power Station has to be one of the greatest supergroups every created. The mix of the Taylor brothers from Duran Duran and the hard drumming of Tony Thompson fro CHIC!!
RIP Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson!

Biography

Formed: 1985

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s

Despite Duran Duran ruling the earth by late 1984 (due to countless hits and sold-out tours), the band had completely burned themselves out with a non-stop, grueling work schedule. 1985 was supposed to be a year-long break for its members from band duties, but its five members ultimately formed two separate side-projects: the Power Station, which was comprised of Duranee's John Taylor (bass) and Andy Taylor (guitar), plus solo artist Robert Palmer (vocals) and ex-Chic member Tony...
