Tool
Yes I think they are one of the greatest rock bands around today. I think the nu metal scene would probably never have existed if it wasn't for Tool. Unfortunately none of the nu metal bands have half the amount of talent that each Tool member has individually.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Tool's also one of my favorite of the contemporary metal scene. They have some amazing talents onboard. Unlike so many of the 'copycat' bands out there today.

I agree with the two post above.
Tool is really intellectual without being arty farty. (That expression is sooooo stupid... "arty farty"... geez!). Their songs on Lateralus are of epic dimensions, not to mention the entire album. And yet they manage to get their videos, their brilliant wonderful videos, aired on the music channels even though they are often very lengthy. And they are all so ****ing excellent musicians. The drummer is mad! Being a drummer myself, a lot of times I just sit with my jaw dropped thinking "What the hell is he doing???".
I remember the first time I heard Sober. Man, what a song. That was something completely different when it came out. And Maynard sang his guts out....

I love Tool, a great prog metal band, however i've almost listened to Aenima and Lateralus to death
What about his (Maynard) other band: A Perfect Circle, they're worth a look for fans, its more straight edged but good

Tool is my all time favorite band, has been ever since I heard them.
You can't even get into a discussion as to how god damn good they are as musicians, because there is no opposite point open for debate; they're simply superior to any other band out there that plays in any similar fashion as Tool.
You can't even confine Tool to a genre, since no other band effectively sounds nearly as good as them.
If you haven't seen them live, you have to check it out, it is a feast for the eyes as well as the ears.
