Im sure there are waaaaaaay more, but from I know and have heard this are the best...or some of them! I will choose the Levin - Bruford combination...Discipline is pure rhythm...awesome!!! Second) Wetton - Bruford, yes again Bruford and KC, but they were the most kick as rhtythm section back in the days...and Red shows how good they worked together! Third) Squire - Bruford...I know I am a Bruford sucker...can´t help it...the man is just what I like behind the drumms...and along with Squire they gave Yes a lot of..."swing"... What about you??? ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

Squire-Bruford for me, my favourite bass player, my favourite drummer, and a great team. Close contenders: Hammond-Hammond/Barlow Shulman/Weathers Lake/Palmer ------------- Suritis: The Remembering. Hopefully we should appreciate that given points in time are not so significant as the nature of what is impressed on the mind, and how it is retained and used. |

Close one this between Myung/Portney and Rutherford/Collins. I went with the former (just). ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Mike Portnoy says he follows Petrucci´s guitar, his exact words! When I listen on headphones I can hardly hear John Myung. I go for Lee and Peart.

Bruford/Levin was definitely KC's strongest rhythm section. Powerful, solid, and also very innovative. -------------

Squire-Bruford. Quite a strong list. Squire-White is also very good, although White is not here.

I can barely hear Myung at all on OCTAVARIUM. Which is weird because, IMO, the sound of TRAIN OF THOUGHT is a lot dirtier than OCTAVARIUM, yet I can hear Myung more clearly. ------------- Some world views are spacious, and some are merely spaced... |

Brudford is the best drummer of all times for me... He is the one, who made me give attention to drumming. Before drumming was only like background to the real musical content to me. But till hearing Red only, where he with Wetten showed what a rhytm was made for and how can it play a very important role in music. And Wetton with his sometimes very slowly and almost lyrical and sometimes stormy and glorious but always great and powerful basslines is one of the bassist out there (or was ;) ). As to the third pair of mine, I just like Squire's complicated but "catchy" basslines along with Brudfords drumming to which I wrote enought above. |

Lee-Peart (I've always been a crazy Rush fan  )2nd is prob. Squire-Bruford, but Squire-White was awesome on Ritual and Sound Chaser (among others). |

Vander/Top is first for me. The rhythm section by which all others should be measured... Some good choices despite this omission - I went with Bruford/Levin, with Bruford/Wetton and Hopper/Wyatt close behind. I'd also nominate
And representing non prog, Entwistle/Moon. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Vander/Top should indeed have been on the list; I'd place them 2nd after Moerlen/Howlett. And why is there no German rhythm section on the list? Hattler/Fride (Kraan) or Hattler/Neumeier (Guru Guru, Highdelberg) are excellent rhythm sections too. The same is true for Hartwig/Setz (Roman Bunka Band) or Hartwig/Neumeier (Guru Guru). ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

The reason there are no german rhythm sections is simply because I have never heard this bands...give me some time, and when I have heard them I will re-do this poll!

OK, I have re-listened to Octavarium (first time in ages) and your right you can bearly hear him on this album, I'd forgoten this, but he is as clear as you would expect a bassist to be on the other albums. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I can't help noticing the wrong (and strangely fashionable) usage of
the apostrophe in the name of the thread. It is a plural "s" and not a
genitive "s", hence it should be "rhythm sections".

I'll go for Lee-Peart! Even though i am a gigantic huge DT fan, Mike portnoy fan, but I prefer Lee-Peart's style. They sound so tight that I am very very impressed... For Portnoy and Myung, well, I would say Portnoy is more of a Melodic Drummer, meaning following the song rather than more of the rhythm... Therefore, I didn't cast a vote for Myung and Portnoy. They dun sounds rhythmic enough for me.. Z' ------------- <<Dark side of Z' Drummination>> |
