Everyone is familiar with four, five piece bands and can name many of their favorites but how about three piece bands. This one takes some thought, and don’t cheat with a band like U2 who although has only three instruments does include a singer making them four piece band.
Three bands come in mind for me and they all consist of an electric guitar, bass guitar, some use an electric bass guitar while others use an upright bass. In my mind it started with Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Until he came along it was said you couldn’t have a band with just three guys, boy were the critics wrong. Next on my list is the Stray Cats, who can forget the memorable “Stray Cat Strut”. Last but not least is the “King of Pain” put out by The Police. Well that’s my favorite three piece bands, what’s yours.
