I've seen all the ones I've listed live. Did I miss any, tell us who.
And, yes, for those of you who follow AW closely, I've gone a little poll crazy.

Best Power Trio?
- Thread starter Diana Hignutt
- Start date
I picked RUSH...not because I think they're a great band. They're okay. I think they are the only ones who fall into the category of "POWER".
I went with Rush too, Same reason as KTC.
I did consider Green Day.
BUT, if we're pushing the rules here, my favorite power trio is BX3. Billy Sheehan, Stu Hamm and Jeff Berlin. How can you beat this?

You know, it was early...
I can not believe that I forgot Cream. Double Crap! But vote for Cream in your posts and I'll manually retabulate later...

Robin Trower.
I'm curious though. A power trio is three instruments, generally guitar, bass, and drums. Would Black Sabbath qualify? Ozzy didn't play an instrument, he only sang.
You also forgot Motorhead and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer as true power trios and Led Zepplin and The Who as power trios with a singer.

No. Three musicians, no extra singers. Sabbath, Zeppelin, etc. don't count. But, really ELP? Greatest? That's just silly.

I hearby forfeit the right to post poll lists. I can not believe I forgot Jimi and the lads.
Cream is the band that first pops in the head when the words "power trio" are mentioned.
I'd also say Gov't Mule before they added a keyboard player and became a quartet.
