I've gone for Squire & Bruford, (of course!!) but actually I might have gone for Squire/White if the choice was there, I think their work on Relayer was great!

Squire-White is also very good, although White is not here.

Exactly what I think.

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.

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???

just almost the same, exchange no. 1 wiht 2 only. Althought I like Levin - Brudford more in THRAK times (with Gunn-Mastelotto as opposition), where they really showed what a good rhytm section can. Now, as I think about it, your poll lacks this choice (levin, brudford, mastelotto, gunn), but I'd choose Brudford - Wetten again though.
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

  • Czukay/Liebezeit (Can)
  • Herve Peron/Diemaier (Faust)
  • Greaves/Cutler (Henry Cow)
  • Smith/Ledden (Guapo)

And representing non prog, Entwistle/Moon.

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).

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!

Because even Gilmour-Mason would rank better.

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.

 hey mason isnt bad he is just minimalist and i think his drumming is very effective for pink floyd as well as roger's bass playing even though i feel he could do better if he applied himself more.

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.

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".
