Nirvana: Nevermind

Tool: Undertow > Nirvana: Nevermindeffena

Fauxlt metal and grunge?

I guess that's a fair comparison.

Listened to a couple of Husker Du songs since they were mentioned. They sound more like R.E.M. than anything else. While I don't mind R.E.M. (I have 2 of their albums) not really what I was looking for. Or maybe R.E.M. sounds like them. I didn't actually start really listening to music up until 2000. Eh, I was 17 then. So I am kind of a n00b when it comes to music. Please nobody shoot me.visceron

Earlier Husker Du was hardcore punk. Go listen to Zen Arcade if you want to hear Hardcore Punk Husker Du become Alt. Rock Husker Du.

What is Fauxlt metal? I cant get a Wikipedia result on it. I've always refered to Tool as alternative

I can't believe Mudhoney hasn't been mentioned yet. You guys suck at grunge.

Check out:

Mudhoney
Melvins
Meat Puppets (Too High To Die is their "look we're grunge" album)

You'll probably be into dinosaur jr too. Get on this, ignore the rest of the thread except for Husker Du.

I have Undertow, Ænima, Lateralus, and 10,000 Days by Tool. I gotta say I like Nirvana more, maybe it is just because I am new to Nirvana and am not tired of listening to them yet.

Tool is one of my favorite bands (in my top ten), but I think both bands are a little over-praised...

I am listening to the Zen Arcade on youtube. This is definitely a lot better. What is the deal? Why are their so many Zen Arcades? Or is it just the whole album?visceron

I'm calling Tool "fake alternative metal."

How did you make that AE like that?

It's a portmeanteau of "faux" and "alt."

Just add a 0 before any of those 3 digit numbers.

Other Nirvana albums? There's not that many to choose from:PRoyalAssassin78

And the Pixies. I've only skimmed through the thread, but I've not seen them mentioned to an extent that I'd like.

Green River as well(even if they partially became Mudhoney afterwards, if I recall). Temple of the Dog works too.

soundgarden was the best grunge band hands down. I honestly think nevermind is vastly overrated. I like about 4 songs on itFrKnPuertoRican

Amen brother.

King_Stones

This man speaks the truth. Tool's albums are among the most visionary and musically brilliant produced in the last 10 years. Undertow is arguably their worst though. Listen to Lateralus or AEnima if you are considering getting into them, but bewarned: Once you become obsessed with Tool (As I have) you don't really want to listen to much other music anymore.

Tool take a little time to become fully immersed in. I've noticed it myself... Tool? Over-praised? Explain.
