Pearl Jam vs Metallica vs Tool
 

This may seem strange but the rock station here did a huge VS to see if they could crown the best band ever. It came down to Metallica, Tool and Pearl Jam. I know, I don't think either of these three are the best ever by any means but: I wanted to post it on here to see who got the most votes out of these three bands in a VS.

Metallica. No contest. Say what you will about their later era shit... they used to shred pretty fucking hard.

I agree.:):cool:

I can't stand Eddie vedder, Pearl jam use to be pretty good, but lately I can't stand them. Not to mention that Metallica made Master of Puppets, so despite Load, Reload, S&M, and St Anger they still top Pearl Jam. As far as tool, I like some of their stop, but I'm not real into them.

Yeah, I wouldn't put any of these guys anywhere near "best band ever".

Given the choices, I'd go for Metallica, I guess.

Tool is the only one of the three I find even remotely interesting. In their best work they stretch the limitations of musical expression. They once toured with King Crimson- another band who did their best to innovate and expand the pallette of musical expression.

Agreed, after Pearl Jam's last album The Fixer I had enough and sold all my PJ albums.

Metallica streched the limitations of musical expression WAY more than Tool. They were way more pioneering.

Tool are just a weak and boring knockoff of Neurosis (who totally fucking rule btw)

No, not really.....

Oh OK Father Time.
