And Ginger Baker was a cyclist too

You learn something new every day.

And who can forget Disraeli Gears, names after a language slip up by one of their roadies?

Yes asked Ginger if his bike had those Disraeli Gears on it

If we're talking live performances, The Warning manage to do it and sound absolutely massive.

Sitrep.

JHE and Cream neck and neck with Rush close up their rear.

Primus a distant 3rd but gaining momentum.

You gotta feel for Silverchair on 0 votes. I didn't think they were that bad.

 

[AndyRM]

I don't think it's that Silverchair were bad particularly, but they weren't exactly great. The novelty of them being 15 when Frogstomp came out helped a lot I reckon.

ZZ Top 👌

 

[Beebo]

ZZ Top 👌

That was my vote up thread.
The sound they created with just a lead, bass and drums was huge.

When you think about it a lot of 4 piece bands are a 3 piece with a singer, the difficulty is in singing whilst playing an instrument.

 

[Drago]

Unless you're Geddy Lee and can play two instruments simultaneously while singing. Mind you, he's not of this world.

 

[Beebo]

Genesis were a trio during the 80s and 90s.

A decent trio needs very talented musicians because there is no room for any slackers.

Queen are a power trio when Brian May or Rodger Taylor are singing the lead vocal on songs.

 

[dan_bo]

Primus. Maximum squidge.

Failing that, Talking Heads pre Jerry Harrison.

 

[Drago]

And the Alkaline Trio were brilliant in their early days.

 

[gbb]

One of my favourites at that time...

They could really belt a tune out

 

[Sterlo]

Forgot about the Goodies, you can't beat a bit of Funky Gibbon.
