vote for best mainstream band

[MetalManCPA]

OK - I consider myself someone who likes music. Why then, can't I see this love for Tool? I just can't find myself listening to them for any length of time, nor do I love any of their songs (although they do produce very interesting videos, of which Sober is pretty amazing).

I must be totally missing the musical meesage they are sending - I can think of tons of more mainstream songs I like better then any Tool song.

 

[svenske kocken]

Come on! Tool, A Perfect Circle, NIN, Faith No More, Jeff Buckley, The Tea Party, Mr. Bungle, Aphex Twin, My Bloody Valentine - mainstream? You gotta be kidding! Whatever, best of these bands are Faith No More.

you said it Bub. cant say i dont feel sorry for you and what your missing out on. it took a few months before i got into Opeth and a further month or so to realise they're one of the best bands around, hmn maybe you need to take time and listen to the songsa few times. or dont bother, it doesnt matter much i suppose, some people like marmite, some hate it, others dont mind it, and some like it a bit, some just dont bother to eat it, and some think it looks like an oil slik (slick, whatever).

Yeah - on some Opeth songs, it takes time to get into - but the band Opeth took no time at all.

I've been listening to Tool since they first appeared on the scene - and have never liked them. I've listened to their music probably 5 times as much as Opeth (since I am a regular radio listener) because they are played quite frequently. I just hear nothing exciting in their music. Oh well - I'm just another case of how musical tastes vary amoungst us all.

Tool or NIN.

I voted for NIN because I expected no one else would (and I was right).

i wondered since the heaviest stuff i heard here on radio was maybe some alanis morrisette (sp?) stuff

Only two votes for NIN, including mine?? It was a tough choice, however... A Perfect Circle have only one album so far and Tool is great but doesn't have the same importance as NIN for me... (If it wasn't for The Downward Spiral, I wouldn't have voted NIN anyway)

Like I said - better than most!! We're talking radio here.

 

[Khronos]

Nick Cave

 

[BillowOfZeal]

I figured there would be only a few bands from MTV. But that list is impossible to choose from. They are defintely some bands on that list that are far from mainstream.

 

[warsofwinter]

Tool . Nirvana and APC .. where is that option eh?

 

[Opet]

I didn't include a few bands listed as mainstream.
With what was left, I voted Tool.

 

[Lina]

I gave a half-hearted vote to NIN. eh.

I LOVE some Tori Amos songs, but her lyrics are so wacky I can't name her as best anything.

 

[spikes77]

i voted for smashing pumpkins but someone should have included alice in chains....i think anyway

 

[S4R]

Of those listed I had to go with Faith No More. Mainly due to Angel Dust, that is an amazing album.
