10 Best Rock Power Trios

For any musical enthusiast, Rush should be a no-brainer when it comes to the great power trios of rock. Each of the band's members could be considered a virtuoso while their songs were wild experiments of what could be done in the rock format.

From a melodic standpoint, bassist Geddy Lee is one of the most inventive bass players in rock with his rapid fire low end breaks and otherworldly voice soaring into the stratosphere. Perfectly juxtaposing Lee's melodic singing is Alex Lifeson, whose guitar playing created sonic textures that were unprecedented by any other band's standards.

However, Rush is not truly Rush without the power of Neil Peart, whose drumming style is a true sight to behold. Along with writing the lyrics to most of the band's material, Peart's versatility has led to him to being called the Professor behind the drum throne.

Across their 40 year history, the band was so undeniable that the mainstream came to them, as they built up a cult audience that has remained incredibly faithful throughout the years. From their more conceptual material to their complicated prog rock bangers, Rush have proved themselves to be the Almighty Musical Magicians of Rock and Roll.
