Are there any songs from Janes addiction that actually live up to the reputation?!?!?
So a few months ago I discovered Tool and I'm really diggin it and trippin out so I thought 'damn, who could inspire someone to write such amazing music'!?!' And looked up 'Who influenced Tool?' And I believe it was Inflooenze.com or something like that that said - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc (which are 2 favorites of mine and I can hear the obvious influence in Tools music) but every website says Janes Addiction is their biggest. I don't get it. Which songs specifically because I listened to a few (caught stealing.jane says, irrestiable force) and they sound very pop-ish. Is this the cream of the crop when it comes to Janes Addiction or is there any of their material that appeal to a tool and Zeppelin fan?

You're taking it too literally. Jane's Addiction inspired Tool to be unconventional and to take on important themes in their songs. An artist can be "influenced" by another artist or band without making music that sounds like the other artist.

Ted, Just Admit It off the album Nothing's Shocking sounds the most Toolish to me, but as a big JA fan, I must say I'm also surprised they're listed as the biggest influence.
