Tool has more than made quite a splash since their admission in 2007. The 2007 run to the quarterfinals looked like a fluke product of a soft schedule, but in the years since, Tool has more than repeated, winning an additional round each year...which would mean in 2010 they would have to win the tournament to maintain that pattern -- so they did.
Some best-known songs: Vicarious, Schism, Aenema (with that funky ae character)
