There is nothing like Tool

Post by Luke »

Went to see Tool with Isis in Marysville, CA on Saturday. Best concert I've ever been to. They are really amazing. I've been to a Tool concert before, but it was a festival and didn't allow them to fully display their greatness. Isis was great too, but I missed most of their act because my buddy is a girl and kept taking forever to get ready and losing his ticket every 5 minutes. I was utterly stoked all weekend.

Great band...although I like most music...I don't have one specific genre...music is art for my ears :P

For brevity's sake, I'll mash both of yours together to answer the questioned ones:
Vangelis - Composer for many movies and various other endeavors. Probably his most notable compositions: Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner
Ayumi Hamasaki - Japanese (~Bubblegum) Pop singer.. uhm, yeah, you can go from there if you want.
Delerium - They've been on the dance/electronic music scene for quite some time. A lot of their stuff is more on the trance/ambient side for myself.
Roxette - An 80's Swedish band. They've had a few notable releases, although they escape me at the moment.
Sarah Brightman - Opera singer, well known for certain renditions of various operatic songs. Phantom of the Opera was apparently written for her voice.
Apoptygma Berzerk - Another electronic band that's been around for quite some time. They are Norweigan.
KLF - Very famous for their rendition of the Doctor Who theme.. although my personal favorite of theirs is Last Train to Transcentral of which I have several vinyls.
Dune - a lesser known band. Notable releases are Rainbow to the Stars, Million Miles from Home, and a few others.
Do as Infinity - Japanese rock band. They are apparently catching ground in the states, too.
BT - Brian Transeau, well known in the dance scene, but not so much in the outer circles. He is an accomplished composer doing scores for Fast and the Furios, Monster, Stealth, Go, Driven and Suspicion.
Yasunori Mitsuda - Main composer for the Final Fantasy video game series.
Danny Elfman - Previously of Oingo Boingo fame, this now composer does a lot of dark films and many TV series. His scores include Batman, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Spider-man, Spider-man 2, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and many many many more.
Robbie Williams - British ~pop singer. Hit American audiences big with "Millennium" back in 1998
ATB - André Tanneberger, german DJ/artist. Notable releases include Marrakech on No Silence, I Don't Wanna Stop on Addicted to Music, and 9 pm (Till I Come) on Movin' Melodies.

The only band on that list that I can approve of is KMFDM.

Only bands I can relate to properly that you've discussed are Green Day and The Offspring, and yeah, I liked them long before they became wide spread. As Hockey said, Smash was a great album, and so was Ixnay. Green Day were great in the early days too, Dookie still one of the best albums of all time, but the new stuff is still catchy :)

Intersects with my tastes.

I never heard of Tool, good name though. That's what the Australians insult each other with in Neighbours.

Never heard of KMFDABC whatever they are called until now, just checked out some of their stuff and whilst it doesn't entirely tickle my fancy, I'm certainly going to make use of it for some (game) videos I am producing :)
