Best Rock Rhythm Section

#2
Ooh there's a huge selection out there and I'm assuming that we're not listing blues or funk rhythm sections. Here's some that spring instantly to mind;

Entwistle/Moon
Fraser/Kirke
Squire/Bruford
Levin/Bruford
Dirnt/Cool
Sting/Copeland (early years)
B Thomas/P Thomas
Butler/Ward

I could go on, but I'll let others have a shot too.

idk, its down to JPJ and Bonham, Geddy and Peart, or Moon and Entwistle. put a gun to my head and its zep. but i dont like zep as much as the other 2 bands.

Deal/Lovering - Pixies
Vega/Cage - Quicksand
Cheng/Cunningham - Deftones
Greenwood/Selway - Radiohead
Bogdan/Stanier - Helmet
P-Nut/Sexton - 311

I like the above combos a lot - even if they never reached the same level of status as Zeppelin, Rush etc. All are great at locking in and making the overall sound better without getting in the way or playing all over each other. :)

Nothing against these guys per se, but you've gotta be kidding me, best rhythm section?

I think Tre Cool is an awesome drummer and Dirnt must be praised for keeping up and locking with him. These things are always going to be personal, as to the best, there's no such thing, it's just personal preference.

Here's another one for you

Rainey/Purdie (if you count Steely Dan as rock that is)
 
#19
Justin Chancellor/Danny Carey - TOOL
Les Claypool/Tim Alexander - Primus
Ryan Stasik/Chris Myers -Umphrey's McGee
Colin Edward/Gavin Harrison - Porcupine Tree
Tony Levin/Pat Mastelotto and Gavin Harrison - King Crimson
