No, they're like a non depressed, clever man's radiohead.

No, no they aren't. Radiohead are far better than muse.

Green Day was a great band back in their punk days. I think it's about time they became famous and started earning some real moonies. Though I don't really enjoy their music as much anymore, they do deserve it.

Not a single mention of Primus so far? Hmph!

Anyway, there's no sort of universal correlation between the number of band members and the quality of music. A band or solo artist should use as many or few people as it takes to make it sound good. As long as there aren't so few musicians that live performances sound unbearably strained, or so many unnecessary studio hires that it ends up sounding bloated and pretentious, I'm all for it.

Hmm, ones that spring to my mind are:

- MxPx
- Sum 41
- Blink 182

Yeah, most of you won''t agree but I like them. :oops:

I believe the term is "Power Trio" and my favorite would have to be ZZ Top.GreenmonsterBLS

I'm glad someone said primus :P

Nile is a pretty good 3 piece band that I like.

But just because a band has 3 people doesn't make them any better than any other.

I think your conclusion is flawed. Some 3 member bands are good...some are not. There are also very good bands with more than 3.LJS9502_basic

And some with less than 3 :)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience.TheWindWaker11

thank you :) I was hoping someone was going to mentoon them, whoa re pretty much the greatest band after Iron Maiden :)

My thoughts exactly. I love their older albums, and American Idiot isn't as good as it could have been, but they've worked hard. They deserve it.

Muse, Wolfmother, and Rush. 3 of my favorite bands and they all have 3 people in them. What's up with that? Also name some more.madcapper248
