Best/Favorite Rock Trio?
Posted By Paul on February 15, 2007
Over at The G sides, there is an interesting discussion on who the best rock trios of all-time might be.
My list looks like this:
Rush
ZZ Top
Stevie Ray
Gov’t Mule
Cream
Followed closely by
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Beck, Bogert, and Appice
Grand Funk
Hot Tuna
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush
Triumph
King’s X
Robin Trower Band
Johnny Winter’s Progressive Blues Experiment
Cactus
The Police
Nirvana
ELP
Glass Harp
Blue Cheer
North Mississippi Allstars
A few others that could have made the list somewhere:
Hüsker Dü
Dinosaur Jr
Budgie
Over The Rhine (depending on which version was together at a given point)
So, what do you think? Who would be in your top 5 or 6? Any other bands not listed that should be?
Top ten trios:
Cream
ZZ Top
Stevie Ray
Beck, Bogert, and Appice
Grand Funk
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Robin Trower Band
The Police
Nirvana
Glass Harp
In no particular order:
Peter, Paul and Mary
The BeeGees
America
Kingston Trio
Then again, I couldn’t have told you that the above groups were trios (ZZ Top? I thought that there were only two long-haired/long-bearded dudes…). Then again, I never heard of 1/2 of the groups above. Maybe I just walk a different road.
And there are Watercolor Ponies, on my refrigerator door…
Well that certainly explains a LOT…and yes, you DO walk a different road, one covered with watercolor pony poop!
(And just where did you think the drums came from if ZZ Top was just those two bearded wonders with guitars?)
