[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[Brendan]

I was close to choosing Judith, was addicted to it for weeks in 2000, and
it'll always remind me of that time. Strong contender for best
anti-Christian song ever. But seems to have aged a bit? I thought that and
The Outsider were closer to typical Angry Young Tool tracks. Whereas stuff
like Gravity, The Noose, Hollow, Blue etc are very different. Maynard put it
that APC was his feminine side...(although I don't know how much of the
music in any of his bands that he came up with...) 

 

This is about as close as Tool comes to APC:

A Perfect Circle were definitely one of those supremely unique beasts- a
side-project that actually managed to compete with the 'day job'. Paz was
indeed hot, although I could never understand how she could chuck it in to
join Billy Corgan. Tool may have been irritating at times, but I could
always see the talent at work. I've never got that feeling from anything
Corgan's been involved in.

 

I'm putting together my list at the mo. I've had to breach the
one-song-per-band rule repeatedly, just to get close to 50 nominations.
Alex's mention of APC reminded me of how much I liked 'Judith' when it came
out, so that went in.

Hmmmm.. Well, I might have said they sucked. They do kinda suck, but I  
don't hate them. They just took themselves way too seriously, and  
Maynard's vocals tend to grate after a while. That all said, they had  
the odd decent single.

Meanwhile, apart from Maynard's sartorial/tonsorial shenanigans, A  
Perfect Circle refreshingly stripped away all the stuff that put me  
off Tool. And "Judith" is just the perfect mix of heavy riffage and  
blasphemy.

Also, Paz on bass was hot.
