Am I really the first Tool fan in here?

Also Grateful Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic. There is too much music to listen to with just these three bands.

BarstoolsnDreamers t1_j9rb4aa wrote

Also Herbie Hancock.

And Ween.

BarstoolsnDreamers t1_j9rbzb8 wrote

Lately I’ve been really feeling Bobby Rush, Waylon Jennings, and Young Dolph.

BarstoolsnDreamers t1_j9rchvl wrote

Billy Strings, Elvis Presley, and Talking Heads are also options.

Hell I could go on for days.

real_horse_magic t1_j9u7g3a wrote

It’s so weird to me to see Ween brought up in the same comment thread as Grateful Dead and Herbie Hancock

I know it’s because Phish covered Roses Are Free and that exposed Ween to a whole new audience

But frankly, Ween deserve their own comment thread, they’re one of the best. Weird fuckers who write goofy songs but are also really skilled musicians with a phenomenal band.

BarstoolsnDreamers t1_j9u8xvt wrote

It has nothing to do with Phish. I also brought up Waylon Jennings, Tool, and Young Dolph. Maybe I just have eclectic taste?

Ween has a great catalog.

For the record, while I did recommend Phish due to the nature of the thread(bands to obsess over), they aren’t a band I frequently listen to. A lot of people obsess over them though. Every other artist I listed gets frequent airtime at my house.

TBF Ween has been on the jam band festival circuit for decades.

Tool are great, but not sure about deep dive given the limited output over 3+ decades. Unless you just want to talk endlessly about fettuccine sequins.

In truth, they are one of the only acts I can think of where extended time period between albums doesn’t equate to garbage output. So, cheers to them!

Not the first Tool fan but maybe the bravest. A lot of Tool fans have become pretentious gatekeepers who now get a lot of flack in the era of "no I don't know the band but isn't this a cool shirt".

I'm a Tool fan.

bullybullybully t1_j9rdasl wrote

For bands with enough depth to really dive into:

Pixies, Built To Spill, Blonde Redhead, Mew, Flaming Lips, Jane’s Addiction, PJ Harvey, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Spiritualized, Stooges/Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground/Lou Reed, all of Damon Albarn’s projects (Blur/The Good The Bad & The Queen, Gorillaz, Mali Music, solo)…

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Prolific, Eclectic, Multigenric, Amazingness. 23 albums in 12yrs. So you won't get bored.

Start with Omnium Gatherum to get an idea of their eclecticness

Then check out https://get-into-gizz.com/ to help you down the rabbit hole.

Miles Davis. The Velvet Underground. Frank Zappa. King Crimson. Rush. The Clash.

If you like listening to live music, there is enough Grateful Dead and Phish shows available that it would take years to listen to it all.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Grateful Dead, Phish, Radiohead will keep you busy for the rest of your life.

came here to say King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard... Take my word for it, you might not be a deadhead, Phish may not be your thing, Radiohead may get monotonous or depressing (i said it) but KG&LW will keep you wondering "Is this really the same band?" and there's lots of material.

On the other side, I have a ton of respect for the Blizzard Twizzard, but haven’t been able to get into it. I give it a whirl here and there, but hasn’t clicked with me yet.

sebenak t1_j9upxi1 wrote

other side here too, I'm a fan of all of them radiohead included but i find i just don't want to listen to them for long periods of time. I do think it's quite telling that no deadheads or phish people have chimed in, as they have already prbly fought (and lost) that battle enough times already LOL. I think my attraction to the Gizzard is the eclectic nature of it keeps my ADD brain satiated, like be a pop or hip hop sounding tune and then all the sudden there's this duane allman riff outta nowhere, then the next song will sound like motorhead or something.

thisizusername t1_j9w3jx7 wrote

I don’t see much jam band celebration on this subreddit interestingly enough, a comment here or there. Definitely not a fan personally, but I guess I kind of ‘get it’, which is more than I can say for a lot of acts (cough…Linkin Park).

real_horse_magic t1_j9u7v36 wrote

I also would recommend Osees (or Ohsees, The Ohsees, whatever the hell they’re going by now) if we’re talking about bands with dozens of records that all sound wildly different. Even just their Orc trilogy alone is enough to get lost in, and that was just like one phase for this band.

Tool, a perfect circle, and puscifer. Same lead singer with very different vibes from each band.

21st century breakdown was good and revolution radio didn’t suck. The trilogy has some good songs with a bunch of fillers. They could have released a full album with the top songs of the trilogy but went the current route. On paper the trilogy was a great idea.

Ween.

I would start with the albums “White Pepper”, “Quebec”, and “The Mollusk” based on your tastes. Their first few albums are quite bizzarre and can be hard to listen to, but you may end up liking them too. Their live performances are all great.

Clutch, deep discography, hard rock that swings,the lyrics tell interesting stories. You may need a thesaurus to figure what the singer is saying, because he references Greek mythology, the Bible, modern literature, science fiction, movies.

It starts dark with black. Track 5 kicks off rock songs Green is country songs Eventually ya get to violet.. Oh man.. violet..

You should check out The Knife! My buddy got me into them a couple years ago. When I listened to Silent Shout the first time, my reaction was 'pretty cool, kinda too weird.'
