Not at all, I loves me The Dirty fuckin Three.

Also, Rapeman.

I like most of the bands everyone else has mentioned so in order to not be redundant.

A Tribe Called Quest
Boris
The convocation of..
Digable Planets
Dystopia

Too many, but to mention a few.

Boris, Minutemen, Shellac, Rudimentary Peni

Dirty Three, MUSE MUSE and MUSE

Just to endorse some of the bands already mentioned: The Dirty Three, Husker Du, Voivod, This Heat, Johnboy, No Means No.

Also the following:

Ut
Janitor Joe
Feedtime
JSBX
Jawbreaker were also decent enough.

The Police have not been mentioned yet.

This thread has turned into a listing of muscial trios that don't completely suck.

The Victim's Family - though I only have two of their albums.

Reminded of them by No Means No.

I don't know about The Freak Accident - haven't heard their album - saw them live supporting NMN and they certainly looked very Californian.

John Butler Trio, early Violent Femmes??? come on early 90's teenage angst!!!!!!

Bugger...forgot Volcano Suns...

Unwound
Burning Airlines

Forgot about them.

Yo La Tengo
then Low.
