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

No one has mentioned Aston "Family Man" Barrett and his brother Carley: Bob Marley's rhythm section.

Sly and Robbie, definitely.

Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz.

I saw Omar Hakim and Victor Bailey in about 1982, and they blew me away.

Sade's rhythm section; Paul S. Denman and ?

Tony Levin and Manu Katche.

You gotta start somewhere, and these guys saw one hell of alot of crazy gigs and situations. Thru it all they continued to deliver for decades.

Not Flashy. Simple? Sure. But to the point, concise, and just enough to make tons of great Rock 'n' Roll.

You're gonna laugh, but they got ALL the money.

Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. DUH!

i have to make an observation here

since all good music is built around the rhythm section (from j.s. bach to gangster rap)
it therefore follows that EVERY decent, popular band of ANY genre MUST have a good rhythm section, or it would not be popular and therefore included in this thread.
So this thread is basically another "whats your favourite band " thread

sorry, but it is

:confused: :confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:bassist: I am sure I will here it for a few of these, but the top 5 that have influenced me are:

1. Les Claypool and Tim Alexander. They're dead on with each other even when they are just jamming around.
2. Alex Katunich and Jose Pasillas 3rd. They were the most technical funk rock rythm section I have ever heard.
3. Sam Rivers and John Otto. They matched each others intensity on their instruments very well.
4. Geddy Lee and Neil Peart. They inspired more "Greats" then i think any other rythm section has. Ever.
5. John Paul Jones and John Bonham. Except for these guys.

Now, I know I will most likely be attacked by the "Bass by the Book" snobs for mentioning Claypool, and be shredded by the close minded old school thumpers for mentioning Limp Bizkit. So, in a premtaure response, I will say this: Shut up. If you were to strip everything away from Primus and Limp Bizkit and just listen to the bass and drums you would understand that the amount of writing, organizing, and technical mastery that is involved with what they do could rival ANY of the greats that came before them. And don't say its because of my generation that I don't know any better because I have Rush and Zepplin on my list as well. :bassist:

John Entwhistle & Keith Moon
John Paul Jones & John Bonham
Les Claypool & Herb or Brain
Geddy Lee & Neil Peart
Steve Harris & Nicko McBrain or Clive Burr
Billy Sheehan & Dennis Chambers
Then again, Dennis Chambers + any bass player that can lock in with him. That man can grooooooove.
