    It was late and all the brain cells weren't working. I just heard Triumph on Classic Vinyl XM radio too.

    My order would be Trower-Mountain-Hendrix-Cream

    Problem is, none of them were the same band from the beginning to the end, Triumph was.

    I agree. They projected a sound that sounded more than three member band. Its probably a toss up between Rush and The Police.

    I also question Jimi Hendrix as a trio band. There was too much spot light on him for other members of band to be noticed.

    The Jam is on my list - probably at or near the top

    Rush. It's Rush. You can stop voting now. Any other answer is wrong.

    Lol, Green Day? They have a keyboard player, second guitarist & a cello player when they play live. Come to think of it, so does Rush. And after reading about Ginger Baker, doesn't he count as 3 or 4 people? And Leslie West (Mountain) surely counts as 2 or 3 people.

    Rush do not use other musicians in their live shows. They do use a lot of sampling, but they play and record all of their own samples.

    You can't be a power trio when your lead singer is from the Chipmunks.

    Leslie West counts as two Guitarists....not two people.

    I guess I am questioning how you can be the BEST Power Trio if from beginning to end the band did not contain the exact same 3 players. Trower had 2 different bass players for example.

    I see..............I'm pretty sure, in it's short life, that CREAM had the same 3 players.
    I actually saw the farewell tour in 1968 in Dallas and it was Clapton, Bruce and Baker.

    No disagreements on the others.............or the opinion.

    But I can't place them in the category of POWER TRIO.
