p-nut is one of my favorites- but put him together with chad sexton and you have modern rock's best rhythm section, for my money.

Carol Kaye and Hal Blaine (Beach Boys)
Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce (The Smiths)

PHISH: Mike Gordan, Jon Fishman, Paige McConelly, and Tre Anastasio.

Listen to the jam on any recording from any album live or studio and you'll see how tight they are. Anyone could be playing lead or ryhthm.

Also; Stephan Lessard and Carter Beuford

[the Qintar]

dudes those are some lame responses, sorry, anyway i gotta tell you, if you want to hear a real rythm section, you gotta check out the minutemn, george hurley (drums) and mike watt (bass) are freakin amazing, they outdo anybody on any day, check out the minutemens double nickels on the dime to hear some sweet drum and bass combos, i also gotta credit husker du, the meat puppets (those kirkwoods are amazing) also take a check at the bad brains, hey, did everybody forget about pushmonkey, though relatively new they kick some real butt

[JimK]

...yeah, you know what-
I'd like to recant my choices; they are pretty lame.

[Munjibunga]

Nathan East and Harvey Mason?

[pedro]

>...yeah, you know what-

Jim, me too.

>And if anyone mentions that lame a$$ Jamerson again... I'll scream

ditto.

And if anybody brings up that Jaco/Erskin combination I think I'll puke.

RAOGLMAO!!

You two are too much.

[Brad Johnson]

[Brad Johnson]

And if anyone mentions that lame a$$ Jamerson again... I'll scream
