A la Stevie Ray Vaughn?

My compliments to the Tool reference, by the way.

[Fovea]

3. Steinburg and Gabay

Soul Coughing.

And Bill Bruford's King Crimson work.

[NaderIsMyHero]

4. Gonzo & John Paul Jones

Lachowski/Crowe (Pylon)
Garrison/Jones (John Coltrane)
Hill/Beard (ZZ Top)
Wyman/Watts (Rolling Stones)

[Fenris]

7. Rourke/Joyce - The Smiths

As talented as Morrissey or Marr and horribly under appreciated.

[SilasSoule]

8. Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare

Sly & Robbie

[jpgray]

9. Damn! You reminded me

Errico/Graham - Sly and the Family Stone

That was an incredible rhythm section.

[leftofthedial]

10. Sklar & Kunkel -- The Section

Drummond & Buttrey -- The Stray Gators

Gradney & Hayward -- Little Feat

Weymouth & Frantz

Battin & Parsons -- late Byrds

Wyman & Watts -- some British pub rock band

>>oh, and Dunn and Jackson, Jr. -- Booker T and the MG's

These folks nailed it and pretty much everything else would just be showing off.

[jpgray]

11. Fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa fa, well uh

:D

[leftofthedial]

12. guess I'm showing my age

huh?


:-)

[jpgray]

13. Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce-que c'est?

Talking Heads from '77. :)

(it may be 'better' rather than 'well uh')

[Fenris]

14. I prefer Hillman & Clarke

I get into fights with people because I think Mike Clarke was a good drummer. Not great, but he wasn't as inadequate as McGuinn and Crosby made him out to be.

[leftofthedial]

17. hard to argue with Hillman and Clarke

They played some classics.

I just thought Battin and Parsons were the perfect country rock pair for a good stretch there. didn't hurt that they were laying it down for Clarence White, either!

[AntiCoup2K4]

15. Entwhistle & Moon (The Who)

Lee & Peart (Rush)
Wyman & Watts (classic Rolling Stones)
Clayton & Mullen (U2)

[Fenris]

16. No one can top Moon/Entwhislte

[Nostradammit]

18. Houser/Chamberlain

From Critters Buggin. If you've never heard of 'em and you like eclectic /improvisational /experimental /tribal/electronic/ theatrical/ funk - then you've gotta check them out.

I've seen a lot of great shows, and I've been drumming for 26 years and I ain't never heard a rhythm section lock up and flow like these two do. My bandmates and I saw them play in Boulder one night and we were all speechless the whole ride home.

Truly devastating.

[lucidmadman]

19. Cassidy/Dryden...Airplane

...never captured appropriately on record.

[Fenris]

20. Simonon/Headon - The Clash

[King_Crimson]

21. Waters/Mason...

Pink Floyd...Jones/Bonham...Led Zeppelin

[chaska]

22. Stanley Clark and Lenny White in Return To Forever.

Stanley Clark should have never left that band, he's pretty much sucked ever since.

[King_Crimson]

23. And what's become of ...

Chick Corea and Al DiMeola? "Romantic Warrior" is one of my most prized possessions! Can't believe I forgot these guys!:crazy:

[chaska]

24. Yeah, and....

My favorites are 'Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy' and 'Where Have I Known You Before' and to an only slightly lesser extent 'No Mystery'.

[King_Crimson]

25. And where oh where...

is Jean Luc-Ponty? :nopity: Am I just yearninig too much for the old days? Mahavishnu Orchestra...John McGlaughlin, Billy Cobham, Rick Laird, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman :nopity:

[GumboYaYa]

26. Zigaboo Modeliste/George Porter, Jr.....

from The Meters.

[Aristus]

27. The percussion section of the Chicago Symphony

under the direction of George Szell.
