Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Metallica, Clutch, Pantera, Mastodon, Opeth, A Perfect Circle, Smashing Pumpkins, King Crimson, Radiohead, Faith No More, Aphex Twin, so many...

Clutch is insane. So underrated. Best punkabilly group of all time. OP, if you check them out listen to Transnational Speedway first.

Spacegrass holds a special place in my heart. Jesus on the dashboard

bro made my comment for me

Great list!! Mike Patton is right there w MJK on my favourite vocalist list, that guy is amazing live (saw them a decade ago)

Like Tool, Aphex Twin has done alot for the scene

If y'all haven't checked out Puscifer yet, get on that please. They've definitely got some good hits! I'm naming my daughter Agostina after the song!

R u me

Great, great, good, never listened to them, good, great, great, awful /s, never listened to them, great, great, great, annnddd great!

Holy Christ, are we best friends?!

The Mars Volta

Yeaaaaaaaaaaa

nine inch nails, swans, alice in chains

Love these but especially Swans lately. Crossover Swans fans that are also into Tool are a special breed

Can’t get into Swans for some reason. Checked out To Be Kind on multiple occasions and feel like it’s so close to being really good but then just drags on. Any other suggestions on where to start?

Swans clicked for me with the Children of God and the great annihilator. Much more straight to the point and sets the context for the lengthier tracks on later albums and makes them more rewarding to listen to.

Meshuggah, Blind Melon, Mos Def, Fiona Apple, Acid Bath, and a multitude of others

Fetch the Bolt Cutters is seriously one of the best albums of the post pandemic era

Blind Melon is the most underrated band of the 90s… possibly of all time!

Not enough people dig in past No Rain. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great song. But there is so much more depth to them. Ashamed Hoon had to OD.

Change is one of their best. Help me through some dark times...

Got dang pusher man over here! Blind Melon is so good

Not all time but definitely of the 90s, soup is a masterpiece, kills me that people think of them as a 1 hit wonder. No rain is a great song but it’s one of their worst songs, which is a testament the quality of music they released.

Totally agree. Love Self-Titled album, Soup and Nico

A Fellow acid bath friend lol. Nice to see

Here for Acid Bath. 🤘

FIONA APPLE YEAHHHH

Caligula’s Horse, Karnivool, Katatonia, APC (obviously), The Pixies, Modest Mouse, Everything Everything, Leprous, Protest The Hero, BTBAM, Fair to Midland

Nice to see Karnivool get a mention.

Was gonna say the same (from my hometown). Don't see fair to midland mentioned often

Greetings my fellow Perthite.

Another one! Hello 👋

Since you're into CH, check out the Ocean and DVNE, so so good.

Fair to midland are great

We would be the bestest of friends.

Spot the Aussie, nice! Saw Caligula at my local last year supporting The Butterfly effect, awesome night. Bought some merch directly from the boys, top blokes.

I have been listening to so much Fair to Midland lately, that first album is just so unique

Puscifer Pearl Jam Tragically Hip Elton John Audioslave

Tragically hip and tool in your top bands list??? What a legend

Guess that makes 3 of us! Would love to hear both yer favourite songs/albums

Opiated, escape is at hand, nautical disaster, Cordelia, the luxury, fully completely are some of my top songs. So many amazing albums, too hard to choose

Nice. I’ve seen most of those guys live. PJ puts on a great show but Billy Joel with Elton John was one of the best shows I’ve never seen. Elton changed clothes like 6 times!

I loved RATM and Liked SoundGarden. Could never get into Audioslave and I tried to. Couldn't get into post-Staley Alice in Chains either even though I liked Jerry's solo albums...idk

I'm gonna flip things on its head and say that Tool led me to dance music, if indirectly via Alex Jones who I watched paint live at a psytrance festival. I now mostly listen to a wide range of progressive (house or techno) DJs. Very different to 'progressive rock/metal/whatever you call Tool' with their crazy time signatures and polyrhythms. Some examples: Guy J Jerome Isma-Ae Eelke Kleijn Fuenka Victor Ruiz I still love Tool, loved FI but I'd much rather seek out new sets than new band albums generally.

Rush, Pink Floyd, Mastodon, Isis, King Crimson, The Ocean, Devin Townsend, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Psychotic Waltz, A Perfect Circle, Pain Of Salvation, Faith No More, Sentenced, System Of A Down, Alice In Chains, Tenacious D, The Mars Volta, Jethro Tull, Gojira, Burst, Dio, Twisted Sister. Did I mention RUSH?

Metallica, System of a Down, Primus, Muse, Queen, Pantera, Gojira, and much more. Outside of band territory, Shostakovich, Bartok and Stravinsky.

My pet teratoma, NiN, Carly Rae, blood orange/dev hynes, frank ocean, deftones and yes... Taylor swift That's my top stuff right now but it changes a lot.

I just bought tickets to see Iron Maiden again. Fuck yeah. Also I'm seeing Dethklok in two weeks.

Pink Floyd, Metallica

Lorna Shore, Meshuggah, Tesseract, Knocked Loose, Currents, Pink Floyd, Opeth, Architects, Gatherers, La Dispute and I'd stop cause I could go on forever
