Some band names echo with the timelessness of rock legend; others have a whimsy that seems almost comical until you hear the music. ‘Squackett’ falls firmly into the latter category, encapsulating the quirks of progressive rock in a name that makes even ‘The Beatles’ seem standard by comparison. So what happens when you mix the genius bass lines of late ‘Yes’ bassist Chris Squire, the dexterity of former ‘Genesis’ guitarist Steve Hackett, dashes of ‘Led Zeppelin’ greatness, and pints of vodka-fueled bravado? You get ‘Squackett,’ prog rock’s great forgotten supergroup.

These icons of the genre brought with them a mystique that has flavored their music with a complexity and vision that’s often as misunderstood as it is groundbreaking. Though the collaboration was fleeting, the music these maestros created is as enduring as it is underrated. Let’s dive deep into the symphonic odyssey that ‘Squackett’ navigated, albeit briefly, through rock history.

  • The unexpected chemistry of musical virtuosos.
  • The creation of a synergistic rock fusion.
  • A brief discography that deserves a place in the annals of prog history.

Embark on a journey through the rise and ephemeral existence of this supergroup. It’s a story peppered with innovation, talent, and one too many sips of vodka—a cocktail for musical legend.
