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.

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

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

Hell I could go on for days.

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.

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.
