Great group, very few 3 man bands were as successful as them.
Only other 3 man rock group I can think of with that much success is Grand Funk Railroad before they got a keyboard player. Mark Farner was also a great guitarist.

Although a fantastic song, the lick was stolen from Robert Johnson’s Boogie Chillin. A song written in the 40’s.

ZZ Top actually plays "La Grange" for the first time in La Grange, Texas 42 years after the songs release.

What about Rush? Granted, their original drummer departed after one album, but their replacement lasted throughout the rest of the band’s run.

Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rush, and The Police as well.
