The Melvins are much better than Tool, IMO. Tool has some good songs, but I see the Melvins as more influential in the greater scale, especially in revitalizing Doom Metal, helping to be the cornerstones in influence both New Orleans' Sludge (Jimmy Bower referred to Gluey Porch Treatments as "His ****in' Bible.") and Seattle's Grunge scenes (Soundgarden and Nirvana, duh.). There's also some Melvins influence in Tool (most blatant: the opening bass line in "H.").

Then again, what do I know?
