This week, I’m joined by Jason Whissell, host of It’s Not That Bad& There Can Only Be One & musician Sean Faust, as we team up to create the ultimate playlist celebrating our favorite musical trios!

From rock powerhouses to pop, punk, hip hop and prog icons, we’re highlighting some of the greatest three-member bands that prove the biggest sounds can come in smaller packages. Whether it’s tight harmonies, dynamic instrumentals, or iconic chemistry, these trios left a lasting mark on music history. If only mixtapes had three sides, we could’ve added even more!
