The great thing about Clapton is that he revealed his racism a looooong time ago while he was young.

Funny enough I wasn't a huge fan of Clapton to begin with and only discovered his racist comments later on in life. It was the quickest decision to internally cancel someone I've ever had. Like "Really? Oh I guess I'll just go back to not listening to Clapton then - boy has my life not been changed by these revelations".

I'm a big hip hop fan, and right from the beginning I haven't been able to understand the Kanye hype. I'll admit I stopped even trying after the first three,

See, after the first three is where it got interesting. No shade on the College trilogy which are classic albums in the hip-hop sense but albums after that is were he started taking chances and truly following his muse. At this point it’s hard for me to recommend any of his albums but if you wanted to just to see if you could get a better understanding of the Kanye hype I would recommend exploring from 808s through The Life Of Pablo. They contain some of the most compelling music of the 21st century.

Fortunately he was never part of my generation until he hit MTV with that tears in Heaven song and that was enough for me to never give a rip.

100% this is expected tool fan behavior

Tool’s fanbase, at least at my small midwestern high school; had heavy crossover appeal between the artsy kids that listened to Korn and Marylyn Manson (talk about a problematic artist) and painted their fingernails black and the and the Metallica loving Jock/Burnouts that wore sleeve Pantera T-shirts and chewed tobacco while lifting weights. Everybody love some Tool.

Good cause I have not much more than "I like the first two APC albums far more than that one Tool album I bought cause I thought that one song on the radio was pretty rad".

I just picked up 3 sealed copies of Tool’s Lateralus from Goodwill for $9.80 a piece. If not for that the only Tool album I would own would be a copy of Undertow that I picked up for cheap about 5 years ago and I would be fine with that.

I could give you APC's first 2 albums >>> than Tool's last 2 albums.

I could even give you APC's first 2 albums >>> than Tool's first 2 albums (though I don't believe APC have any single song better than "Prison Sex" and a close call on "Sober")

But with ÆNIMA and Lateralus in the field, I just can't get behind APC >>> Tool. And I very much love both.


...having seen each if them twice (in the same year both times, 16 years apart) I would also say APC in concert <<< Tool in concert. And again, I very much loved both!
