I will be recommending two TOOL songs to a friend over the next 24 hours to try and get them hooked. Which ones should I choose and why?
Forty six & 2 and Schism or The Pot for the mainstream hits. Id replace one with The Patient if your friend is willing to branch out but I don’t really think this is how folks usually get into music. Tool isn’t for everyone I suppose
I’d say Sober, but I am just a worthless liar
I remember where I was the first time I heard this song on the radio and my life was changed forever.
Don’t forget to recommend the top Forty Six Tool songs first.

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone! Since this person is fond of a lot of 80s (rock) and 90s music (grunge & alternative), I suggested Forty Six & 2 and Ænema. If they enjoy, I’ll probably suggest Lateralus (my personal favorite), Fear Innoculum, and Invincible next given the person’s age and how I think they may resonate with them.
Ænema - it’s the song that got them popular. Some people love the lyrics about LA being destroyed.
Then something from a later album.
Or shake things up and do a Perfect Circle song. Maybe Judith.
I would think it would depend on what type of music your friend listens to; if it were one of my friends I would recommend The Grudge and Parabola, but my friends tend to listen to heavy, aggressive music.
Cold and Ugly, and Forty Six & 2
