I love Temple of the Dog as much as the next guy but this is patently false. The original rock supergroup was probably Crosby, Stills, & Nash, formed in 1968 by well-known stars from the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and the Hollies, respectively (and later joined by Neil Young). One could also make a case for Cream, but Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker became much better known for their involvement with Cream than they ever were for anything else.
