Ep40: Ultimate Rock Supergroup
The moment you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived – it’s time to build the ultimate rock supergroup.
That’s right, after six gruelling months, 60 decades of music, 24 albums and six episodes of the Groovy Guys rambling on - it all comes down to this.
How did we get here? The rock supergroup challenge featured each decade from the 1960s to the 2010s, with each episode focussing on four albums from one era, hand-picked from the Groovy Guys’ collections. From those four iconic albums, a decade-strong supergroup was built.
From those six supergroups, a final boss, an ultimate rock supergroup will be born.
Welcome to the final episode - 35 musicians will enter the Thunderdome, only seven will leave to be proclaimed the Crate Expectations Ultimate Rock Supergroup.
