[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Since the other thread started to leak in this direction.
In no particular order.
Entwistle/Moon the Who
JP Jones/Bonham Zeppelin
Flea/Chad Smith RHCP
Justin Chancellor/Danny Carey Tool
Tim Cummeford/Brad Wilk Rage Against the Machine
And....here's an interesting one.....
Gordon Sumner/Stewart Copeland the Police

 

[steelcurtain55.]

The 70's funk bands have to be mentioned.

Yes...so many to mention

The 70's funk bands have to be mentioned.

Absolutely. I was just listing off the top of my head to bands I mostly have or listen to. (plus they are ones I didn't have to Google to know their names)

 

[HailtoPitt]

I had to look up rhythm section.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

The best rhythm sections are the ones who work well together, ie, allow the drummer and bass player to alternate taking the lead.

Like several in bold and will add:

Geezer Butler / Bill Ward - Sabbath
Geddy Lee / Neil Peart - Rush
Kris Novoselic / Dave Grohl - Nirvana

Really thought about adding Peter Hook / Stephen Morris for their work in Joy Division, but I just didn't get into New Order nearly as much.

Yes on Nirvana and love the Joy Division inclusion and Peter Hook should be included in best Bassists thread

The Who sucks. Moon is overrated. Their music is bad.

Totally disagree. But in saying that, I will say the Beatles are overrated. And the Stones underrated. Wyman/Watts were underrated.

 

[steelcurtain55.]

"Jimi Hendrix did not have a white rhythm section!"

 

[steelcurtain55.]

Here is an underrated rhythm section -

Michael Anthony on bass and Alex Van Halen on drums.

Eddie gets all the pub but those 2 provided the backbone.

Secondly, when Eddie got on the keys that was a heck of a rhythm section.

[CaptainMurphy]

Chris Squire and Alan White from Yes.

People always say that Bruford > White but I think White's rock sensibilities meshed better with Squire. He's one of the most underrated rock musicians, IMO.

 

[Pitt1975]

Entwistle and Moon......best by far......

 

[Schaef60]

Atlanta is pretty good
