First off, gotta say, thank the good Lord 85% of the posts here listed Creed. How they sold over 30 million albums is beyond me.

Next, if I may get up on my soap box about Tool, I have to say I was more than a little bit surprised to see them on here. Basket Case, although I respect your opinion about their lyrics not having any depth, I couldn't disagree more. I would be the first to agree that some of the subject matter is a bit esoteric. In addition, though, I would argue that their songs on subject matter such as chromosome evolution, existential philosophy, enlightenment, and desensitization show a remarkable insight into human nature. As for their skills as musicians, I would submit that they are some of the best in the business. It makes me happy to see that someone who doesn't like them can recognize the talent they have as musicians.

I suppose in the end it's like any band that people either really like or really hate. Either you get it, or you don't. I don't get Dave Mathews Band, but I respect them as a band with something important to contribute to the music scene.

Tool I get.
