Recommend me some rock power trios

[Edmang]

Frankly, I'd classify The Who as a Power Trio; whether or not the singer is playing an instrument or not is immaterial to the 3-instrument lineup...

I agree and mention Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin

 

[Ric5]

Here's a few off the top of my head ...

Gov't Mule
Cream
The Who
Led Zepplin
Mountain (sorta)
West Bruce & Laing
Grand Funk
Nirvana
Jimi Hendrix Experience
King Crimson (Bruford, Wetton, Fripp)
ELP
Rush
Niacin
U2
ZZ Top

 

[muggsy]

BBM (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, Gary Moore)

 

[billgoodwin]

Adrain Belew Power Trio (Julie Slick shreds), Screaming Females, Slant 6, Helium, Eleven,etc

 

[SpanishDave]

The Jam
Biffy Clyro
Silverchair
Husker du
Kerbdog

 

[tangentmusic]

Trapeze
Triumph

[Ritchie_Darling]

Budgie

 

[LowDownHawkeye]

Kings X

I second this recommendation.
Also, I recommend The Jelly Jam (side project with Ty Tabor of King's X plus John Myung and Rod Morgenstein)

I don't believe Masters of Reality has been mentioned. Check out 'Sunrise on the Sufferbus' one of the best albums of the 90s you've never heard. Features Ginger Baker on drums.

 

[punchdrunk]

Tool. Power trio plus a vocalist. Exceptional.

 

[DavidBassista]

Rancid's first album was just a trio before Lars joined the band for their second album. Amazing bass playing on that.

 

[Timmah]

John Mayer Trio

 

[hhirbe]

Good lord, how did I forget Budgie?

 

[jd56hawk]

Blue Cheer

American Bandstand

 

[SteveHeissner]

Lynyrd Skynyrd. Oh, never mind, that's a three guitar band - not 3 piece.

 

[stratovani]

Rory Gallagher had a killer trio!

 

[The_Janitor]

Dixie Witch


The Obsessed


Nebula


Weedeater

Brilliant record!

 

[Tanner5382]

The James Gang.

Some fantastic mentions in here, some I didn't know were trios.

However, since nobody has mentioned Thin Lizzy yet you should all be, at least temporarily, banned.
