Who are your favourite three piece?

[mtshark]

No but he makes the most sense. Robert "Crab Dangle" Trujillo isn't a member, so... Just a scab like any other sideman.

Yes he is, and he has been for 8 years.

 

[FrigginChris]

russian circles

 

[bjabass]

The James Gang

 

[Remus_Redbone]

Grand Funk Railroad
ZZ Top
Emerson Lake & Palmer

 

[kevinmoore73]

Medeski, Martin & Wood

King's X
Niacin

 

[SactoBass]

Rush
Crosby Stills & Nash (sorry Neil, 3-piece only)

[tooltard]

The Fall Of Troy and Amplifier

 

[Jake Morris]

Rush, Rush, and Rush!






Oh, did I mention Rush?

+1.

 

[ack]

The Alley Cats
Spy Vs Spy
The Jam
Yo La Tengo

I saw "Kamchatka" play live once - they were unreal for a trio.

 

[SpitfireCWII]

Muse FTW

 

[Hellbastard]

Nothing will ever beat Cream. Best three piece band ever. Rush would be myother choice, but it isn't a fair competition.

 

[dinogroovie]

Usual suspects: Rush, Police, Primus. Also Green Day, Material Issue, Nirvana, Stray Cats and Dino & the Groovies (oh wait - that's my band).

 

[the byronic man]

RUSH

 

[DJ Bebop]

The Oscar Peterson Trio

Kazumi Watanabe with ether Bunny Brunel or Jeff Berlin or Richard Bona or Marcus Miller or Tony Levin

Jimi Hendrix

 

[THCbass]

Travis Larson Band
Jenny Young is groovy as Hell.....want to see them live !

 

[Relayer71]

RUSH, duh!!!!

Also (in no particular order):

Trans AM
The Police
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Robyn Hitchock & The Egyptians
Cocteau Twins (hey, it isn't always about musicianship!)

 

[Relayer71]

(Cross & McDonald weren't "official" members...but their contributions were substantial)

You know, that's the reason I didn't list them, but they're definitely up there. But 1974 was a brief period, didn't they tour as a 4 or 5 piece in 72 & 73?

 

[Relayer71]

No but he makes the most sense. Robert "Crab Dangle" Trujillo isn't a member, so... Just a scab like any other sideman.

Well they WERE an awesome TRIO on that one album "...And No Bass For All"

 

[AcidFripp]

Rush and Coroner.
<3

Also, King Crimson was a trio at some point, so they make the list too!
