Because those bands are not progressive metal,and Tool is.

Come on man, why do you care so much?

(BTW: from the albums that are in the list, I would place Lateralus even higher... that said: I would exclude more than half of the list if I would have to make my personal top 100)

But why bother? The list is a nice indication of the most popular albums here.



Because that list neither acts as a good indicator of what prog is nor which albums would make good starting points for budding prog fans. It causes arguments and ratings wars, countless threads such as this one and serves no real function other than to show which albums have been rated the most. So blood what? I don't think it adds to this site, but it certainly takes away.

Progtologist - this has got nothing to do with me "worshipping 70s bands" you should know I'm not guilty of that. I just feel this list serves no real purpose other than to upset people and cause arguments.

I know TP.I usually have a pretty thick skin but every once in a while I get tired of people bashing a band I am very passionate about.I am pretty used to it and usually it rolls right off of me.I just knew even before I looked at the thread that there was gonna be quite a bit of Tool bashing.So,I apologize TP

I don't like Tool, but don't care either. When has it ever been serious in the first place? BE beats all those albums on that list!

James Maynard Keenan of Tool once said...

'I can see what they think now..Everybody that comes to see us must think that we actually stole all of King Crimson's patterns..But we have never said that we didn't..'

Anyway what i want to say is that Tool deserves to be here ..Their music is 100% progressive...If there's somebody that  thinks differently should use a time machine and go back in the 70s....

Tool is an immensly popular band, and imo, rightly so! Lateralus is a masterpeice, and Aenima is great. Now that Mr. Bungle and Fantomas arent in prog metal (at least last time i checked im pretty sure) Tool is my favourite prog-metal band!

Tool are amazing, Lateralus is as prog as it can be and it should be higher up. Even though I like AEnima more, Lateralus is their ultimate prog masterliece.
