Maybe this topic has already come up over the years, oh well I still want to know anyway's since I have no recollection of it. Would like your opinion's on some of the greatest rhythm sections EVER, whether they were permanent units or only played together on one occasion does not matter, and maybe a little explanation WHY. The relationship between drummer and bass player and even accompanying percussionist's has always intrigued me. Have at it guy's.
