the best band isint listed there. the best band ever, by far, is Tool. Many people have misconceptions about Tool. That they are dark, a "depressed" band. They are in fact musicians at the top of their game. They are all genre transcending geniuses. And the lead singer, Maynard James Kennan, may be the most deeply intelligently person ever born. At least one would think so listening to his lyrics, the simplicity and humor therein bely their powerful meaning. They are one of the few bands whos following remains strictly underground in that they barely market themselves or release videos, and dont even play that many shows. Despite this, their album Lateralus ranks with the backstreet boys, n'sync, and britney spears in the list of highest ever first-week sales. I highly recommend you check them out. I wouldnt call myself an overly enthusiastic person, but this band actually allowed me to see things from a new perspective.
i apoligize for using the phrase "genre trascending" :-)
