It almost never happens organically like that. On some level almost every band is constructed. Whether it’s the fully synthetic “casting call” bands like the entire J-Pop K-Pop and Boy Band industries, or assembled in the studio that’s all “solo” artists in rock and roll, or responding to adds in the paper which is the rest of rock and roll. Pretty much the only fully “organic” bands that ever are supergroups, when people fully established in other bands or as solos say “hey, we should do something”. And oddly enough most supergroups suck. I mean there’s the occasional awesome one like Cream or Traveling Wilburys, but for every one of those there’s half a dozen The Firms and Power Stations.

So just like in the grocery store, organic is overrated.

I liked Power Station. Mostly because of Robert Palmer.
