I would have picked CSN over Nirvana but they only put out one strong album as a trio.

Apache Dropout, Blasted Canyons, Cheater Slicks, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Night Beats, The Traditional Fools...all great 3 pieces.

I went with Hendrix from the choices though.

For some reason I love Rush and hate Muse. Despite the points that they're very similar.

Geddy Lee has a high, sometimes squeaky voice.
But Matt Bellamy sounds like he's in love with his voice, and thinks everyone else should too.

Out of these, CSN, the least rockish in the bunch.

Clearly it's the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion...

...and I'm shocked that you haven't heard of the Violent Femmes.

Damn, there are so many good trios you forget about! Violent Femmes! How could I also not think of them...

I think you do it for the same reaon I do it. You want to be as open minded as possible, and you hope that someday it will click. I go through the same thing with hip hop, as you know. And I'm actually making progress with it. I picked up a copy of 36 Chambers and really liked it, and I'm digging Illmatic more...and I think I'm actually a fan of Public Enemy now. I have a long way to go, and I may never fully get it, but there is some good that can come from "keep on trying".

I do see some similarities between Rush and Muse...but I think that Muse is the better band, and puts out better albums. That you don't hear that is cool...everyone hears music differently. It's not that either one of us is right or wrong...we're both right. And I do like later Rush much better than the early albums...but I'm also going to go back and re-listen to some early stuff. I have a new copy of 2112 waiting for me when I get home on Friday, and I hope that I can hear something better than what I remember it to be. We'll see.

I can see that. But Muse has no Neal Peart constantly flexing, Bellamy is a MUCH better singer than Geddy Lee, and Muse has never come close to releasing an album as bad as Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel, Hemispheres, A Farewell To Kings, or even 2112.

This breaks my heart! Those are all albums that I love!

Look, I hate both bands equally, for generally similar reasons. I just thought it funny that you'd criticise one for said reasons and then go on immediately afterwards to ask why no-one had praised the other. Fair point about Muse never releasing an album as bad as those mentioned above (of which I've only heard 3 and thus have absolutely zero intention of ever hearing the other 2), but I disagree. Origin of Symmetry, The Resistance and The 2nd Law are truly awful (which brings up the altogether more pressing issue of why I continue to listen to the new releases of a band I know I hate - essentially musical masochism).

For me, early Rush makes later Rush hard to like. Early Rush was too much science fiction goop, spacey crud, and Geddy Lee sounding like a cross between Robert Plant and Donald Duck. Yes, they were great musicians...and they made damn sure you knew it. Right upside the head.

As for the trios in the poll, I'd go with Cream. Outside the poll...no love for Muse?

🤣

Ouch... I hate it when I miss the obvious... I change my vote to Muse... I guess for three guys these guys change the soundscape so well, it sounds like a symphony, not just three guys... and that is live too.
