    Taste

    My favourite trio was the Robin Trower band. The first two albums were phenomenal.

    Welsh 3 piece The Joy Formidable. Criminally under the radar for years. Excellent vocalist and a force when live

    Taste were a three piece as well, but I meant the band he toured and recorded with that was billed as "Rory Gallagher". I saw them at St David's Hall.

    Rory Gallagher's original three piece band were called Taste.

    I had forgotten about the Pirates. I saw them live at Cardiff Uni in either late '77 or early '78. They were awesome. What a fine guitarist Johnny Green was

    Too damn right, The Robin Trower band are right up thee with the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream. What a fantastic vocalist/bassist the late Jim Dewar was

    Sludgey, how can you possibly forget the greatest and most influential band to have come out of Wales?

    Rory Gallagher was amazing. I saw Taste at a gig at Barry Memorial Hall in 1969 supported by another 3 piece band Groundhogs. A great night.

    That was around about the time I saw them at Cambridge Corn Exchange

    The Riotous Brothers.

    Cardiff trio from, I think, early ‘80’s. Used to watch them at Grassroots. They also had a couple of tracks played on John Peel.

    Oh, and Young Marble Giants.

    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....

    Groundhogs

    This was recorded in 1970 and predates Grunge by 20 years. What a band.

    Ask and you shall receive:

    They've gone off the rails a bit recently but the 3 album run of Origin of Symmetry-Absolution-Black Holes and Revelations is amazing

    Wales' finest, the Manic Street Preachers

    Re: Great three piece rock bands , let's have your list

    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.
