I agree completely........I'd give Morphine an honerable mention too, not your average sound from these cats.

I saw the Pointer Sisters in Las Vegas back in the early 80's, and they all had dresses on with no panties on. They kicked their legs up, and I thought I was gonna die. I had front row seats, and Mac Davis played after them.

Well it hinges on a technicality as there were only 3 instrumentalists in the band:

John Bonham – drums · John Paul Jones – bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin · Jimmy Page – guitars

And Robert Plant – vocals - but he did not play an instrument in the band.

I love Rush.......I even have one of Geddy's picks from a show. I was thinking about it the other day and I realized I like a whole lot of three man bands. : ) Hence, thread inspiration.

I would have to argue the the Police have been more influential with more play than Rush ever received. Saw them two years ago in CA and that show kicked butt.

If we're going by quality: Rush hands down!

Each to their own. I could never tolerate the screechy vocals.

I would go with Cream and ZZ Top as my favorite two, and if I had to pick one it would be SURPRISE the greatest ever 3 man Rock Band - Cream. Each of the members were capable of making any band they played with. There was no better drummer than Ginger Baker, Clapton - well what do you say about a living legend?, and Jack Bruce was simply superlative on Bass. I don't see how you beat that line up with anything other than a fantasy band.

Rush is more unique than the Police.......hence, the Police are more influential and get more airplay on the radio. You can hear the Police in all sorts of bands.......very few sound like Rush because Rush is so unique.

It's not a matter of which I prefer, but just look at how many Singles the Police had and how far they went on the charts versus Rush who have always had a loving fan base with much less radio play.

Although in recent years they've added a fourth the original line-up was 3.

Got to thinking on the fantasy band:

Jimi Hendrix - Lead Guitar and Vocals

John Paul Jones - Bass and Keyboard

Ginger Baker - Drums - Back up Vocals

An All American line up:

Edgar Winter - Keyboards, Saxophone, Rhythm Guitar, and Vocals

Rick Derringer - Lead and Bass Guitar, and Vocals

Carmine, the madman, Appice - Drums, Back up Vocals

And last line up:

Jeff Beck - Lead Guitar/Rhythm Guitar and Vocals

Stanley Clarke - Bass

Ian Paice - Drums

This comes down I guess to a matter of personal taste. Rush may have been innovative but I never found them to be "musical". I did try because I had friends who were big fans, but as far as sheer musicianship I would still go with Cream as they were innovative in adapting Jazz/Blues standards and placing them in a Rockin' Hard coating. And it was not just that each was among the top players of their chosen instruments but the synergy of the group where the sum of the total is greater than the three individually. It was like their reunion concert a couple of years ago in Madison Square Garden - Jack Bruce summed it up "the magic is still there". When they got together and played there was magic.

If Mark Knopfler had done no other song "Sultans of Swing" would have still lived beyond his lifetime. Very few musicians can even say that once.

Wild. Not bad for a kid who took one last shot with his struggling band and cut one last album, before they took "day jobs", titled for their financial condition: "Dire Straits".

I think you almost have to have played the instrument yourself to "get it", but listen to Knopfler's work on "Sultans" - the intricate finger work and lighting fast Picking that it took to make that solo riff come out is not lightweight guitar play. Knopfler, despite achieving fame with Dire Straits, gets overlooked and I think it is because he makes the fiendishly difficult look effortless.

=============================

For sure dude!

Da Boy Can Play.

Back in 1972, I was looking for a good 12-string acoustic. I found one for $50 in the paper, and went to check it out. A lady answered the door, and invited me in to look at the guitar in the living room. She said, "This is just collecting dust, I don't want it in the house anymore, and my son says he doesn't want to play guitar anymore. I just want to get rid of it."

It played like smooth butter, all 12 strings were crystal clear dreamy, and it hadn't bee played for years. I handed over the $50. On the way out, the lady said, "Oh, and Ricky Nelson gave that guitar to my son when we still lived in California. He used to play it a lot."
