Actually I dont think tool is making music anymore, since keenan went to apc.

look at the release dates of mer de noms and lateralus

[/ QUOTE ]
And then the release dates of all those Tool albums after Lateralus? To be fair, though, there have been rumors of another one coming. There was also a 5-year gap between Ænima and Lateralus.

Indifferent genres? I don't think anyone cares.

More.....intensity.

I was waiting for someone to say that.

God you're right, I just bought the political cd (with marching like sheep to the rythm of the wardrums).

I told you guys, when it comes to music, nine times out of ten, Im talking out of my ass.

I've tried to really really listen to DMB, and he still sounds whiney.

Okay, Im throwing out a question to you guys, I have heard like 3 techno songs I like, and want more. I like that kind of ethereal sound, and I havent come across one techno song with singing that I like. Can yall suggest some of the "greats" of techno?

my original suggestion (not to mention the subsequent tours) proved the point that tool and a perfect circle both continued to exist. but to illustrate the 'tool' exists point further, i would think most fans would have caught wind of the huge april fool's joke regarding the band breaking up over religion this year:

REMEMBER, DON”T KILL THE MESSENGER

You know the old saying, “no news is good news”, well… that was the case as far as the recording process was going for the new Tool CD, but now things may have changed a bit. Yesterday, when I went to the studio to give Maynard a bottle of wine (a 1992 Maya) for winning the bet that I had with him involving his new film “Sleeping Dogs Lie” (I lost by default, not being able to attend the Sedona screening), not only wasn’t Maynard there, but, in what seems to be a case of enantiodromia (something becoming its opposite) if ever there was one (!), I was told the reason why he wasn’t there. I wish this post was dated April 1, but, unfortunately, it isn’t. Like a doctor giving a patient a straight, honest answer to a medical diagnosis, without sugar-coating the truth, here’s exactly what I was told: “Maynard has found Jesus.” This will come as a complete shock to most (but not all) of you, as it did to me. In fact, it just seemed like another MJK prank until I talked to the one person who I believe would know if all this was legit or not. After nearly an hour on the phone with this person, the answer I received was that Maynard has indeed “found Jesus” and that, for this reason, he’s abandoned the project for the time being, if not entirely. I don’t know what the f**k is in the water these days, but hopefully a black jelly belly will turn up in that golden bowl… that’s all I can think to say at this point. Before leaving the studio, I watched as Danny made arrangements to go play some golf, while Adam and Justin kept working on a particular song. So, in case you missed it (those who don’t read the whole post), here’s today's news: Maynard has found Jesus…

----- 07 Apr 05

Good news, April fools fans. The writing and recording is back under way. When approached for comment on his recent encounter with the Son of God, Maynard said, "That guy's a punk!"
As it turns out, Maynard was out "location scouting" near the Fourth Street bridge in downtown Los Angeles when he "found Jesus."
"Turns out he was here the whole time, and not that difficult to find if you know where to look," Maynard reported. Apparently Jesus offered him the position of campaign manager for his new line of "Holier Than Thou" sparkling holy water, which Maynard of course accepted. What wasn't obvious was that this guy is a total drunk. It's an occupational hazard. Every time our Lord goes to get a glass of water, it transforms into a generic grocery store Merlot. Because the alcoholic is the Son of God and an all-knowing being, he knew of Maynard’s extensive interest in collecting wine. So he went to work trying to get his lips on it. Maynard caught J.C. in his cellar transforming his precious wine collection into urine, then pissing it into the empty "sparkling holy water" bottles for the eventual sale to all those people who bought, read, and embraced "The Celestine Prophesy." Tragic.
"Truth be told," Maynard confessed, "I wasn't feeling top notch when I found him. The evening prior to the day in question I had over-indulged in a series of bad Molotov shrimp cocktails with a side of Makers Mark and twin strippers. So after an entire night of G.I. Blowouts, hot/cold sweats, and blurred vision, it's very possible that the guy I met wasn't even Jesus at all. For all I know, it was Willem Dafoe."

Speaking of which. (this may deserve it's own thread)

From Gawker:

Just had dinner at Daniel with some work friends, when I noticed an older and wiser Johnny Marr of the Smiths coming in as we were going out. I stopped to gawk because, well that is what you do, and as he went to his table, he shook his dining partners hand…it was a greying Morrissey. I was too stunned to get an autograph. Talk about a 1980s dream dinner.

You fools have all overlooked the two best of the last 15 years:

Billy Corgan
and
Thom Yorke

I can understand someone not liking either one of them for their voice, but their songwriting abilities are matched by very very few.

[/ QUOTE ]

only because I wasn't sure they fit into singer/songwriter

everyone knows my favorite 5 albums in no order are
The Bends-Radiohead
Siamese Dream-Smashing Pumpkins
Living in Clip-Ani Difranco
Grace-Jeff Buckley (his career was too short for me to nominate him here)
OK Computer-Radiohead

listen to Joni Mitchell , the greatest female folk singer I've ever heard.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ani DiFranco is good and all... but I think to call her the greatest folk singer of all time is overstating.

No Page / Plant mention? They wrote some of the best music in theirs or any genre, IMO.

Prince I feel like always gets overlooked in these kind of discussions. Clearly a pop / R&B genius.

Oh - and Stevie Wonder.
