Tool.
Xerxes:
Holy Jesus.
Oh my god, I'm surrounded.
You just said Weezer.
Emo with bass, ick.
Quick rundown- I was an idiot once for thinking Tool talented, nothing but alternative rip offs and masochist-loosely-talented wannabes.
Tortured art, right.
There's about a hundred mentions of Tool in this thread alone.
Best band over all would have to be Emperor for its poetic nigritude and for crying out loud, a drummer named Faust and he killed a guy. *Oh* yeah.
Best band over all for influence would go to the Beatles.
Jesus Christ.

Led Zeppelin.
Technical, musical, lyrical, melodic geniuses.
I wonder if anyone knows or sees music theory like Jimmy Page does. An extremely meticulous guitarist.

You know what.....Jack Black really does have a good voice.
I like tool, would you care to elaborate?
"forty-six and 2" is probably my favorite. I mostly like them for their ear candy, like in the beginning of patient, eulogy, forty six and 2, jimmy, pushit, and H. you gotta give it to their guitar player; he can make some cool sounds.

You're still talking acoustic? You've seen him play it?
They are the culmination of rock history in comedy form!
Bah, I just think KG rocks.
TREY ANASTASO.
How is that every goddamn Zeppelin-loving, Floyd-hugging, hippie-wannabe, self-righteous jackass nowadays crowns Jimmy Paige king of all guitar, or Floyd king of innovation or some other standard moderatly complex music as the height of popular stuff?
Phish. Phish phish phish phish. At some point in your life you must have known a phish-head, has he not forced you to listen to this??
sargent:
Dude, give live phish music a chance. Please. Jimmy is easily, easily, easily trumped by Anastasio's guitar skills and I don't even want to talk about composition. Zeppelin music is fairly straight-forward blues for the most part - really good and moderatly difficult blues, but still blues - and his guitar playing while extremely impressive simply doesn't match Trey in speed (which isn't debatable at all), in physical difficulty (Jimmy was very easy in terms of movement up and down the fretboard) or in musical difficulty (Phish music is often extraordinarily complex for rock, Anastasio has a degree in composition).
Just please, you can say you just don't like Phish, but it's a basic fact that Trey's a much better guitarist than any of these people and a much more complex writer.
For those of you (read: probably none) interested in learning more about Phish simply PM me!

Groups with the most longevity, with few personnel changes, and still manage to be popular -
The Stones, Pink Floyd and Aerosmith
Most influential group of the 80's forward -
Roxy Music
Most innovative group ever -
The Beatles
Most influential 'hard' rock group of the 60s -
while The Beatles were the most innovative, the most influential group of the early 'hard' rock genre was The Kinks, and I would say they were followed closely by The Animals. Most music fans were being blown away by The Beatles, but most rock musicians were being blown away by the latter two groups.
Best Prog Rock group -
King Crimson, at least at its conception, with its outstanding The Court Of The Crimson King. It took the rest of the prog groups a couple of albums to even begin to catch up to what the group achieved with that album. And I say that because Pink Floyd was being labeled at the time as a Psychedelic, or Acid, Rock group, but even so, although Meddle was a very good album, it was a couple of years later, and Dark Side Of The Moon was still about 4 years after when Court of the CK was released in '69.
Interesting trivia note that some early rockers may know. When Greg Lake and Carl Palmer left King Crimson and were forming a new band with Keith Emerson, which would of course eventually become Emerson, Lake and Palmer, at the time Mitch Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix of the Experience were scheduled to audition with the group. Tragically Hendrix ODed two weeks before the audition. I still wonder at what that supergroup might have produced

....because they don't like their Phish forced or be called jackasses...it leaves a certain insipid aftertaste.
