Who is your favorite rhythm section?

[descendent22]

I'm sure this has been a thread a few times, but I'm curious. I wanna ask for myself. So who is your favorite rhythm section in music? Any genre, past or present don't matter

My favorite(s): Duff Mckagan and Matt Sorum, George Hurley and Mike Watt, JPJ and Bonham...

 

[twocargar]

Geddy & Neil

Rainey and Purdie.

Andy rourke and mike Joyce, jpj and bonham, Peter hook and Steve Morris, butler and ward, television.

 

[Lee Moses]

Squire and Bruford
Berlin and Bruford
P.C. and Philly Joe
Patitucci and Weckl
A.J. and Weckl
Christian McBride and Brian Blade

But if I have to go with just one, give me P.C. and Philly Joe all day long.

Geddy & Neil

This one, great rhythm section, AWESOME musicians. Neil Pert is probably a top 3 drummer of all time arguably. Personally I put bonham ahead of him. And Geddy Lee's style and Tecnique can't be done again. But I just don't like rush's songs. I RESPECT the music, it's original and all 3 are great musicians and for 3 of them to do what takes 5 or 6 people band to do is just crazy. I just can't get into them. IVE TRIED, but I just can't get into his womanly voice, and corny salesman songs

 

[Rev J]

Dennis Chambers and Anybody

Jeff Sipe and Anybody

Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

Too many great ones to narrow it down. Lots of great ones already mentioned, but I'll add Charlie Watts / Bill Wyman and Mel Schacher / Don Brewer.

These guys are so good together, the guitarist named the band after them.

One of my favorite modern-day rhythm sections is Tim Lefebvre and Mark Guiliana.
