    Best 3 piece bands?

    It's hard to beat the simplicity of a good three piece band.

    Here's a few great trios to kick this along.

    Rush
    The Jam
    Spoon

    Who do you like?

    There's this new Trio from the UK - heard them on myspace. They are called The Brew and sound bloody fantastic. Sort of a mix of Pink Floyd, Hendrix and Jimmy Page. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for.
