Best Artist: Round 1: Poll 13 (Tool, quote, band)

GravitySlips · 02-18-2008, 11:54 AM

I enjoy Zeppelin, albeit very occasionally. The main thing that stops me becoming a big fan is also Plant's vocals. I think they're good sometimes but they get annoying. Houses of the HOly + Physical Graffiti are excellent albums.

The only Tool album I heard was Aenima (however its spelt), which never really got me that interested.

Art Brut are a fun band who write fun songs, nothing more. No real depth, just fun songs.

Simon and Garfunkel are nice, but I couldn't care less.

Beefheart is the man.

And on the rare occasion that a person does, it's always something to do with the annoying, pretentious fanbase, which obviously has absolutely nothing to do with the music itself.

So please, Tool haters, go on...

Oh, and Physical Graffiti is pretty nice, yeah. Probably the only LZ album I can really get into.

Well, he's not exactly what you'd call 'easy listening'. Love him anyway though.

I dislike Tool because it adds nothing new, and never has. If you can listen to something that's similar, but better you're not going to want to listen to the awful watered down version.

Name a band that came before Tool, sounded exactly like Tool, and did everything Tool has done.
