One of mine too. I always kinda hoped Paul Rodgers would make an album with Robin Trower, especially as rodgers has consistently surrounded himself with the best guitarists there are (Koss, Mick Ralphs, Jimmy Page for three). Ah well, it ain't gonna happen....Quote:

You have to hand it to Rush for being the most accomplished 3 piece from a technical standpoint.
If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably go with Jimi Hendrix Eperience.
If I had to pick a live performance I'd probably go with Motorhead.
Pink Fairies
Proto-Punk from 1973. Awesome stuff.

Milli Vanilli featuring Patto Banton
Technically this fits the bill. Guitar, drums, bass, vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE

love it or hate it...they are a great three piece
Rory Gallagher’s band was originally 3 piece but he eventually added a pianist, possibly just for the tours. Saw him twice in the Capitol, Queen St. What about the Police, in the early days ?
The Police were a good band. I still listen to them now from time to time. Mostly as background music. Not into their later stuff. But their first three records are good.Quote:

Molko was a great guitarist and had a real heavy edge when he needed it
But as you say after the first few albums they went too trendy
Their were at their best when molko was singing songs about his sexuality , sleeping with women and blokes , drugs , anxiety and he came on stage wearing make up and wearing a dress
He was backed up by a superb bassist and drummer
they could belt out a tuneQuote:

Later albums they went very pretentious
But as a young band they were 3 mates who smoked dope , wrote great songs and were great musicians
