Your favorite rhythm section?

[MCF]

So many. I'll put up White and Squire as probably my favorite with Weinberg and Tallent as a close second. As for most listened to, that would no doubt be Starr and McCartney.

 

[Mr. Business]

Stones
Zeppelin
Allman Bros
Gov't Mule

Maybe not my fav, but Elvis had a tight rhythm section without a doubt.

 

[bassfran]

David Hood and Roger Hawkins, the heartbeat of Muscle Shoals.
Duck Dunn and Al Jackson Jr
Tommy Cogbill and Gene Chrisman
Pekka Pohjola and Ronnie Österberg - most likely unknown to most TB members, the rhythm section of Finnish prog band Wigwam in years 1970-74.

Great live recording of one of their shows. You really get to see how all these people eventually get the machine running and the next the you know it's turned on and grooving heavy. Worth the listen.

Totally forgot about Fela. Great call! Also never knew until recently that Ginger Baker played with Fela.
Gonna have to air out some Fela it's too good not to hear. Great additions.
