    Who do you think are some of the greatest rock trios ever?

    Cream (Clapton, Bruce, Baker)
    Rush (Lifeson, Lee, Peart)
    Nirvana (Cobain, Novoselic, Grohl)
    The Police (Summers, Sting, Copeland)
    ELP (Emerson, Lake, Palmer)

    Those are the names that come to my mind but it feels like I am missing some pretty obvious ones.

    EDIT - Jimi Hendrix Experience should be choice #6

    Greatest band in the history of the world. No hyperbole.

    In order:

    Jimi Hendrix Experience
    Cream
    ZZ Top

    The rest of the bands listed don't even come close, IMHO.
