Best Three Man Band
In my opinion, it's a toss-up between Cream and ZZ Top.

SRV and Double Trouble
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Mountain
Rush
But, yeah, Cream for me. Every time I see ZZ lately, they look like they're just going through the motions, sloppily at that.

Not speaking of lately, but of career.

Re: Best Three Man Band
That was just a personal aside. I have ZZ on vinyl that's older than bam bam, or at least from when he was in diapers.Mac da Knife wrote:Not speaking of lately, but of career.

Re: Best Three Man Band
Wow, another good thread topic by Mac.
I have been out of town since last Thursday (just got back last night).
Some excellent choices here already.
Cream
ZZ Top
JH Expereince
These are three great choices.
The Police is another good choice, as is SRV and Double Trouble.
Personally, I don't care for Rush, although I know musically, they are all good players (I just never liked that band for some reason).
What about Grand Funk Railroad (aka Grand Funk)? They became a 4-piece with the addition of Craig Frost (keyboards) about the same time they dropped the Railroad from the moniker. They were a good 3-piece, Mark, Don and Mel. The Jam would be another good one. From 1968-1971, the James Gang was a 3-piece band that was pretty good.
I need to mention our very own Dash Rip Rock, one of the best bar bands of all time and a fabulous 3-piece.
Also, Material Issue, the Muffs (a 3-piece after one record as a 4-piece), Husker Du, the Minutemen and New Duncan Imperials were/are good 3-piece bands in the 80's and 90's.
I'm sure I missed some good ones.
All things considered, I say ZZ Top was the best (apologies to JHE and Cream).
