Tool
Progressive

In spite of the fact that they have only released 4 full length albums over a 15 year period, and 2 albums in the last 7 years, Tool are one of the most popular hard rock bands in the world today, with their music containing elements of prog rock, metal, as well as a brooding arty feel, that has gave Tool one of the most adoring fan bases in the world. Boasting Danny Carey, viewed by many as one of the best drummers alive today, and the enigmatic Maynard James Keenan as a frontman, it is no surprise the band has such a following.

In spite of the fact that they have only released 4 full length albums over a 15 year period, and 2 albums in the last 7 years, Tool are one of the most popular hard rock bands in the world today, with their music containing elements of prog rock, metal, as well as a brooding arty feel, that has gave Tool one of the most adoring fan bases in the world. Boasting Danny Carey, viewed by many as one of the best drummers alive today, and the enigmatic Maynard James Keenan as a frontman, it is no surprise the band has such a following. The band's four albums have enjoyed major success commercially and critically, with 1993's Undertow, 1996's Aenima, which was on Kerrang and many other magazine's Best Of lists, 2001's Lateralus which was rated 5 Stars by many magazines, and 2006's 10,000 Days receiving a Grammy as well as being on Rolling Stone's Best of list. Despite being borderline alternative metal, the band has had a considerable amount of largely successful singles that have seen considerable radio and MTV play; such as the single 'Sober' from Undertow, the singles 'Stinkfist' and 'Aenema' from Aenima, the single 'Schism' from Lateralus, and the singles 'Vicarious' and 'The Pot' from 10,000 Days; 'Schism' and 'The Pot' being their most famous. « hide
