Oysterhead
Oysterhead is a rock supergroup formed in 2000, featuring guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish, bassist Les Claypool of Primus, and drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police.
The style and sound of the band is a unique, somewhat bizarre mix between Anastasio's jam band style, the bass-oriented funk metal music of Claypool, and the reggae-influenced beats of Copeland. To many, this is considered to be the bridge between the music of Phish and Primus.

Mr. Oysterhead
Oysterhead Lyrics
Come on kiddies gather round
There's a new sensation hittin' town
It's moving slow, low to the ground
It'll pick you up when you're feelin' down
He's an inspiration to us all
When all else has been done and said
Along comes Mr. Oysterhead
I remember back in the day
When music folk had a lot to say
Now I sit, hope and pray
Someone will come along and show the way
He's an inspiration to us all
When all else has been done and said
Along comes Mr. Oysterhead
When all else has been done and said
You best look out for Mr. Oysterhead
He's an inspiration to us all
When all else has been done and said
Along comes Mr. Oysterhead
Through the long frustrating years
Of wretched din and choked back tears
Comes a man to squelch our fears
He's slippery between the ears
He's an inspiration to us all
When all else...

The question that must be asked above all others: why is no one mentioning Stewart Copeland? I understand, Les is a bass god, and so on, but the synergy between Stewart and Les is so satisfying it makes me want to cry. The king of the pocket.
Gabriel Is Ant
Why is no one mentioning Trey?
Sean Rushford
Stewart is as much of a legend as Trey and Les.
Devin Koshney
Stuart Copeland is a genius, no question about it.
Tre Angle
Copeland is a beast!
Charlie Norton
Agreed. Stewart Copeland is a genius

Les is a king amongst men. Made his money early on with Primus, smartly invested in his own recording studio and never got into hard drug dependency like some other stars of the era. Now makes wine and whatever music he wants. Legend.
BoulderBro999 why?
@Sally Rose imagine how weird his music would be if he never got on drugs in the first place? damn man, I don't know if it'd even click with people enough for him to make money.
