CycleChat Investigates - Power Trios

[Drago]

A tricky one this, doubtless one to cause angst, arguments and stabbings.

Who is/was the best power trio? A genuinly tricky one for any student of Rock to answer.

No mention of Taste or the later Rory Gallagher solo albums admittedly he used a keyboard player on a couple of albums (Lou Martin) but most of it was just the 3

Can’t pick, there are too many that I like, with their own reasons for liking their music, there is no best, they’re all equally good in their own way

I could have had hundreds of worthy contenders but then site only allows ten. I chose three oldies, three modern acts, and let AI chose the final four.

 

[Beebo]

You missed ZZTop and Police.

 

[stephec]

Motorhead.

 

[raleighnut]

Motorhead.

Surprised @Drago missed that one

I ticked the Jimi box but have to agree with @raleighnut Taste were brilliant.. Saw them many times including their penultimate gig in, if memory serves, Bromley.

I didn't, AI did.

I was thinking Rory Gallagher should be there, Motorhead as well .

Another trio that eventually turned into a quartet was The Edgar Broughton Band.. Brilliant live in the late '60's'... Out Demons Out'

What a handsome bunch of lads! 👌

 

[Oldhippy]

Rush, Budgie and Motorhead are excellent.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

The Stray Cats
All 3 are excellent musicians in their own fields

 

[Beebo]

Bros.

Sit rep. The Jimi Hendrix Experience take an early lead, with Rush and Cream coming up their rear.

How does a sane human being choose between Rush and Cream? Some things are just too weighty for mere humans to decide.
