Spinal Tap was around a long time too. And that proves what, exactly?

Spinal Tap wasn't a real band, but they still play concerts occasionally. I
really don't think longevity has much to do with whether a group is a great
power trio or not. Cream was great because they basically invented and
defined the power Trio. Rush is great because they took the power trio where
it had never been before, and made it sound like there were more than three
musicians playing. Grand Funk, when they were a trio, were great because
they took it further out than Cream did, and because they put on one helluva
show live. There were other great power trios too, either because they
expanded the territory, or because they took it somewhere else, and
occasionally because of the talent of the musicians involved, and how well
they worked together.
