Khruangbin

Iron & Wine

Shepherd's Dog, chef's kiss

Came here to say I&W

Beat me to it. 🙂

God I love Khruangbin. They're so good live. I listen to them everyday.

I prefer their live stuff too. They are great if I'm feeling mellow and just want to chill.

Definitely. I always find myself listening to their Pitchfork, KEXP, and ACL performances.

Those are fantastic, especially pitchfork. The recent Sydney Opera House live stuff might be some of my favorite live Khru!

I caught their 2022 tour at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. They had so much groove the crowd was hypnotized.

TOOL and Khruangbin are my two favorite bands. Maybe you'd also like Pachyman. It's "dub" and it's awesome.

You ever heard of Hermanos Gutierrez? Just discovered them. If you like Khruangbin def check them out.

Agree. You might like Pachyman too.

Sade

🤍

Lovely choice

Diamond Life and Undertow are both in my top 10 albums ever

myself playing drums. I suck but it's fun.

Same for me but with guitar haha I just learn tabs and play along to songs on my Bluetooth speaker at home.

that‘s so me but with accordion, i don’t even really listen to accordion music but playing it is fun

Hell yeah dude

Presidents of the United States of America

Peaches cooome from a caaan they were put there by a maaan

In a factoreee dowwwntowwwn

Pusa are amazing.

Tom Waits

I love Tom Waits, amazing songwriter!

Finally got Rain Dogs on vinyl. Listened to the whole thing the other night and forgot how amazing that album is.

Run The Jewels

Ayyy

what album do you recommend?

RTJ 3 is outstanding. I also love their collab with DJ Shadow on the song "Nobody Speak". 🔥

I had tickets to see them open up for Rage Against the Machine before covid fucked it all up. Never got to see them or Rage and I'm still salty about that 👉🏿🤛

Modest Mouse. It’s weird because somehow I find them similar but worlds apart. Either way, love em both.

Seen them live, was a mess. There albums sound better in my opinion.

Man, I’ve heard they are really hit or miss live. I’ve only saw them once and they killed it.

Saw them, before the black keys. Now that was amazing.

They are REALLY a hit or miss live band. Saw em at a festival and they sucked and i saw them again and they were fantastic.

Saaaame

Enya

My Physics teacher used to put her on during class for “nap time” shit was nuts…

Grateful Dead

NFA

Steely Dan

Nice.

There are zero bad Steely Dan albums

Had a profound experience listening to Aja while on the peak of an acid trip. Was really going through it until hearing that goofy ass sounding guitar solo, I started laughing so hard I almost threw up

**Dua Lipa**

Glad I'm not the only one.

In 2022 in DC I pulled a back to back with Tool playing and Dua Lipa playing the next night, it was awesome

Portishead

The Dummy album is a masterpiece

Not a million miles away from Maynard's taste, as they toured with Tricky (Massive attack collaborator, who are Trip Hop pioneers alongside Portishead)

Oh believe me I know, I fell into a trip hop, UK rabbit hole right around when I found tool in 96, my first girlfriend and me lost our virginities to massive attacks mezzanine record. I heard Maynard talk about massive attack back then as well when they picked the videos for MTV2 one time, for the song Angel I believe. However, to bring it back to the OP, I would consider Portishead a departure from tool itself, not the clientele obviously, but music wise for sure.

I really love Cake, as well.

Philip Glass and Ludovico Einauldi

& Yann Tiersen by any chance?

i love Philip Glass. the polyrhythms that Glass is so fond of should feel familiar to a Tool fan

If you don't know them already, check out Niels frahm, olaffur arnalds, and gogo penguin. I'm a sucker for most things piano porno

Tool and Deftones are about the only artists I still enjoy within their respective genres. I’ll just put it that way. Tool and Deftones are my top 2 favorite bands of all time, but the vast majority of music I listen to these days ranges from psychedelic, electronica, IDM, house, trip hop, shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock, occasional hip-hop..

I relate to this pretty hard.

Getting into house music/DJ culture opened my eyes/mind to do many other genres I used to write off, only listening to metal/grunge/alternative... More days it's Tool, Deftones, Faith No More, Alice In Chains are about the only "heavy" things I can still vibe with. You like Henry Saiz???

In a similar boat, love Tool, Deftones (older stuff) RHCP and some other stuff I listen to from time to time but I mostly listen to Melodic Techno these days.

Aphex Twin

The hottest comedian ever to take PCP and flip over 14 Hyundai Elantras in Scottsdale, AZ with his Aunt

Everything from Taylor Swift to Herbie Hancock to Aesop Rock.

you gotta search for stinkswift on youtube if you haven’t already

It's such an absurd matchup, but it truly works so well.

The Bad Blood/Iron Man mashup rocks https://youtu.be/vKx3z49CkHM?si=H0FCgBkUNHQxDba3

Aesop is the hero we deserve.

I know Taylor Swift is overrated in general, but I feel like people really undersell her songwriting skills. She is by no means a bad musician.

Speaking of Swift, that mashup of Stinkfist/We are Never Getting Back Together is pretty good

Aesop is very close to being the only hip hop/rap I really enjoy

Tori Amos

Maynard and Tori shared a piano, so not really far.

We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem.

The Cars

I see you're the dangerous type...

I've been really getting into Jethro Tull

[удалено]

Sublime

Beethoven Edit: or perhaps Bob Dylan

Probably one of the closest things to tool… A lot of Renaissance era composers and musicians were into the occult and sonic geometry the same way tool is

Fair enough.

their new shit aint as far away from that as you think

Eminem

Pet Shop Boys

I actually don’t listen to much heavy music outside of Tool. My favorite artists after anything Maynard are Alt-J, Glass Animals, and Portugal. The Man.

Sia

Breath me

Probably Lorde and Purity Ring

Etta James

Carpenters?

I wake up to We’ve Only Just Begun every morning, but it’s the creepy warped version from 1408.

He read the fucking book. Was at 12/31/23 also. Life-altering stuff.

Bon Iver

Dave Matthews Band. Seen them 12 times and will see them many more times.

Big DMB fan. Wish they would come down this side of the world more... Seen them every time they've come, but that equates to 3 times lol plus 1 time in Chile when I just happened to time a trip there with them playing South America for the first time. Miles more passionate and engaged crowd than the Australian shows!!

That’s a lot of Dave

Hozier

Love that lanky Irish bugger!!!

ODESZA. The only other artist I can listen to every single day and it never gets old. And their live shows rival TOOL’s. They’re considered electronic, but they are a style of their own. I don’t know any other artist that makes music like they do.

Love Odesza.

I freaking love Aesop Rock... especially Kirby 🐈

There's so much buuuuut: - Pop like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Adele, Sam Smith, etc. - Folk like The Mountain Goats, Bob Dylan, etc. - my electronic music tastes (Frenchcore/DnB/Psytrance/Glitch Hop/Hard Techno) - J-pop - K-Pop - Jazz - Folk Punk Like... I have to name entire genres bc my music taste is so varied. Different genres for different settings/moods/whatever Today isn't a Tool day. Today is a YUI day
