The most influential/important bands of each decade
Alex C:
Gabbly made me realize that I had completely and utterly snubbed country music in my list. 5 bands is nowhere near enough.

--- Quote from: David_Dovey on 28 Nov 2008, 02:12 ---Tool are an incredibly influential band. There are approximately one kajillion metal and alt-rock bands that are jacking their ideas out there. Don't let your personal distaste for Tool or most metal cloud your judgement people.
Of course Tool did steal a lot of ideas from King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra and Led Zeppelin and so on, but art isn't created in a vacuum.
--- End quote ---
I like metal a lot and actually rather like Tool. That said, when you jack an idea from tool, you're rarely jacking anything original.
Be My Head:
I just want to clear something up, Tool have had 0 influence on any metal band. So you can scratch that, they may have had influence on alternative rock bands though, but likely only ones starting in the mid to late 90s and 00s.
Spluff:
That sure is a mighty fine opinion you've got there.
Be My Head:
Tool themselves aren't metal, so it's impossible for them to have had influence on any metal, since metal was well established by the time they started playing music.
And that "Alternative Metal" is a legitimate form of metal is laughable, it's more a legitimate form of Rock music.
Progressive Metal can be traced back to the 80s with Watchtower and Dream Theater.
