It\u2019s borderline impossible to create the chemistry a supergroup like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY) had in their prime.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of synergy that only comes once in a lifetime, and even if they had all the pieces lined up ahead of time, there was no way any other singer-songwriter was going to be able to have that kind of musical sixth sense they had with each other. But even if we can\u2019t create that kind of magic again, who\u2019s to say that there can\u2019t be another version of the group a few years down the line?<\/p>\n

Then again, we would have to be looking more at the nature of what every person brings to the table. The biggest appeal of CSNY was how Neil Young was the caustic one, Graham Nash was the mainstream guy, Stephen Stills was the engine of the group, and Crosby was the leading mastermind, so if we\u2019re looking at the full lineup of a new version of that, there would have to be a bit more attention to detail when looking at every member.<\/p>\n

And that doesn\u2019t mean that some of the biggest names in other groups aren\u2019t fair game, either. As much as some artists have carved out their own kinds of supergroups, there is always room for more interesting pairings if everyone comes together with the right idea and the passion to play together.<\/p>\n

Whether they actually made the best music is anyone\u2019s guess, but the point is to find people who would all be compatible with one another to make the best music. It\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess whether this would be a glorious trainwreck or a musical fireworks show, but either way, it\u2019s not like they would leave us all short of things to talk about.<\/p>\n

Phoebe Bridgers<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

\"Phoebe<\/div>\n

Out of all the modern singer-songwriters,\u00a0Phoebe Bridgers\u00a0almost feels like a shoo-in for a modern version of this kind of group. While she might not be wild enough to make entire albums out of spite like Neil Young did, every one of her records is about her doing whatever the hell she wants to do. And yet, when she finds the right idea, it\u2019s enough to break anyone\u2019s heart in two when they peel back the layers of her songs.<\/p>\n

While boygenius might be the closest thing to a folk-rock supergroup that we\u2019re going to get in this day and age, it\u2019s clear that Bridgers was always the standout behind the group, even if Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker have done great work on their own. All of them are responsible for making those records sound fantastic, but if things end up going south, Bridgers is bound to have a lot more gas in the tank to work off of any other musical master.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
