Early Police old Police - it was only 6 years.

The Beatles were 7 years.

Talent gets shit done.

@Bridger that’s funny I was going down memory lane with them after posting and realized how short their arc was…some incredible production in that span!

Edit: and amen, talent DOES get shit done!

The Police was one of the greatest rock trios of all time. They follow in the many mind-blowing UK rock super groups that have been the benchmarks of music.

I ,wholeheartedly,agree with you. An interesting category to ponder. For me the greatest rock trio of all time would have to be Cream. After that second is up for debate. Rush/Jimi Hendrix even The Police would have to be considered.

@Jett129 interesting category to ponder indeed!

Whenever I visit "the Hardrock Cafe" the most coveted item for me is Mitch Mitchell's kit. So for me the answer is JHE by a looooong way. Putting aside the trio thing, they are the only challenge to Zeppelin as the greatest rock band ever.

Other cool trio's to mention - Nivrana*, Motorhead, Beastie Boys, Dinosaur Jnr, YYYs, Violet Femmes, Silverchair, The Melvins, High on Fire, Them Crooked Vultures and ZZ Top.

*See posts below.

@Bridger Good ones,and how could we forget ZZ TOP! At some point did Nirvana become a quartet,and if so does that disqualify them?

[Bridger]

Ha, thanks @Jett129

I have edited my post as per your suggestion. Dave still makes an appearance

@Jett129 they were a trio at the time of their groundbreaking album so I think they count. I’m not sure either Bleach or In Utero had the second guitarist on them either, it might have been live only.

[Bridger]

Edited again - thanks to @NickD

@GraemeE - msabaf is pure magic in the box. Talking heads are among my favourite artists but all that goodness was sometime hard to capture as a comprehensive set to an album. That time they definitely did it.

[SKT]

@Bridger @Jett129 fun subject and I’m with you guys on all the bands mentioned. I think ZZ Top is often overlooked…Billy Gibbons is soooo good. Can’t remember when but I was gifted a dvd of Cream’s reunion performance at the Royal Albert Hall and I became a huge fan after watching it (many times)

[Bridger]

I have edited my post again @SKT

I saw Billy G as part of the Jeff Beck tribute at RAH an you are correct. The man can play.

What are your plans for RSD, guys? Unfortunately I don‘t have a shop that‘s participating nearby.

[68degreesorless]

I’m lame and not attending. Don’t care for crowds and lines. Nothing I can’t live without on the list this year.

[Aetas]

@endo I avoid shops on RSDays.
But could easily order Bloc Party and Propaganda in my shop without the obligation to buy them.

Texas Tuesday. What a helluva debut album.
