krovVy · 07-12-2008, 06:06 AM

I like Neil Peart and all

But what about Run DMC?

Sirena · 07-12-2008, 06:48 AM

Hüsker Dü deserves to be on the shortlist.

Eh, there were 4 people in Rage Against the Machine. Or is this poll the best 3 people playing an instrument with or without the singer included?

I actually just missed Nirvana. It's not like I actually looked up every 3 man band possible to put on this poll, and I thought I did a decent enough job.

That being said, no suicidial idiot with 2 good songs is going to hold a candle to Rush.

Rush wins on Pert alone if anyone wants to nitpick. The man is a fucking GOD.

Beastie Boys could probably count as a band, but overall rap trios not so much overall for what the poll seems to be about. Primus is a bit of a notable absence, Nirvana not so much IMO.

I voted Rush, but The Police definitely deserved a nod there too, good pull on that. The raw talent, creativity, longevity, depth, and versatility of Rush put them far and away past any other band on there to me. Not that the other bands aren't worthwhile, but they can't really rank on the same list as Rush in terms of lifetime achievement type status.

You could probably have a separate list for punk and maybe even subdefine as just indie. Dinosaur Jr. (though you would really be voting for Mascis), Minutemen/firehose, Melvins, Sebedoh, John Spencer, Violent Femmes, Big Black, Morphine. You could go Green Day, Everclear, Nirvana, Presidents of the USA, Blink 182 for more poppy stuff. Young Fresh Fellows were a trio, yes?

If you're into jambands you could name a few as well. MMW, Govt. Mule, North Mississippi All Stars, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones after the pianist dude left although I consider their better work to be as a four piece.

I'd have to give Minutemen a huge nod on the indie/punk scene myself.

I think Geddy Lee might do a little something for them too.

This is why they are fucking awesome.

Vorph · 07-12-2008, 07:28 PM

You almost have to feel sorry for Alex Lifeson. He's a damned good guitarist, but just utterly overshadowed by Peart and Lee anytime people talk about the band.

Ham n Cheese · 07-12-2008, 07:48 PM

RUSH. easy fucking poll

I was actually thinking this when I wrote what I wrote.

Can you imagine all the cries of FAIL had this poll not included Rush?

Vatoreus · 07-12-2008, 07:57 PM

Well, as long as the first post was prefaced w/ the statement that Rush wasn't needed to be included, as trying to compare anyone to them is like comparing man to god, I think it would have been cool.

It's like when you ask someone who the best skater of all time is, the question has a generally understood exclusion of the obvious answer, Rodney Mullen, because frankly, it just isn't fucking fair to include him.
