MindCrime Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 too bad that one of the most important current progressive bands missed their first entry in the TTs by one point It's my fault, I considered giving Tool a higher vote originally.

c_s_1987 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Good to see that #200 is one of the best Top Tens I've seen in a while. Cing Krimson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 after 200 weeks one of the most important electronic bands around, creators of a whole subgenre (Chillout) finally get some recognition here too bad that one of the most important current progressive bands missed their first entry in the TTs by one point (to a quite obscure Beatles track) ah well... that's life I guess An obscure Beatle's track that is one of George Harrison's finest songs.

Farin Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 'obscure' doesn't mean 'bad' and I never said so on the other hand Schism arguably is Tool's most known song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 on the other hand Schism arguably is Tool's most known song ahem... Sober (or at least in my country, followed by Stinkfest I've considered nominating Sober for some time now, just haven't got around to do so. 7. Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane (1991) 10.You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon (1986) those aren't part of your regular taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) ahem... Sober (or at least in my country, followed by Stinkfest I've considered nominating Sober for some time now, just haven't got around to do so. I've consulted last.fm statistics for that (see top tracks) those aren't part of your regular taste you're the second person this week who's shocked by what I'm listening to anyway, Life is a Highway probably has some emotional value, since I remember listening to that song as a kid and I always liked You Can Call Me Al, and I always voted for it when it was nominated - the first time even as my #2 EDIT: I just checked - I even nominated it the first time in TT #67 Edited January 9, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've consulted last.fm statistics for that (see top tracks) Possibly because it's a newer song and I'm sure most fans are sick of Sober by now, but in the States it's recieved more airplay.

TheLizard Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Same, to me Schism is the most representative Tool song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 'obscure' doesn't mean 'bad' and I never said so on the other hand Schism arguably is Tool's most known song I know you didn't say it was bad, but you have to admit you felt that an obscure Beatles track shouldn't have been voted in over Tool's song. I'm just pointing out that you didn't just say you felt bad that Tool's song didn't get in...you made a point of saying it didn't get in, but an obscure Beatles track did. I felt the need to point out it is more than just an obscure Beatles track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatles song, a good, but rather unknown track, that made it into the Top Ten, while another important band didn't get their first and best known song in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 yes, you're right, my point was that this was the 74th (!) Beatles song, a good, but rather unknown track, that made it into the Top Ten, while another important band didn't get their first and best known song in Martin, I know the Beatles have almost all their songs in the Top, but "Think For Yourself" isn't an obscure song, believe me, it's among their best songs and from a very famous album... and it's anything but an unknown track... anyways, I don't care for obscure or not, my noms are rarities and obscure songs as well... I voted for Alex Harvey band this Top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 yeah, could be... personally Schism is the #1 track when I think of Tool too though same here, and it was the only song I knew when I was them live a few years ago. Their show was awesome, the bass blew everyone away! I heard Schism on the radio recently and I though it could contribute to the eclectic list we have so far. Maybe next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Schism - not only is it Tool's most identifiable song (yeah, Sober probably comes close), it's also one of those iconic (and terrifying) videos - WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?!?!?!

Levis Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 How have so many people never heard of Tool, they're not even indie, I mean if I was more into my industrial music I'd avoid them on the grounds of their being too mainstream.

pinkstones Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 A group/artist doesn't have to be "indie" for me to not have heard of them. I can't conceivably think of a situation where I'd ever come across their music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, you're a Pink Floyd fan, so it follows that you like prog, so it could follow that you'd be interested in Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
