[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

[Wessidetempest]

What sucks about Tool more than anything is their fans. I am likely  
just as rabid when it comes to Killing, Tom Waits or Motorhead. But  
their fans are so annoying about telling you how awesome the drummer  
is or how crazy Maynard is for wearing a dress ( or whatever typical  
singer hijinx you can think of). Their fans are in the same league as  
the grateful dead, primus, etc.
