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.

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....

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!

Who's bashing? its just a conversation about whether or not to have Tool on this site is all. No one said they sucked- or were crappy. They are talented.

I have no problem with Tool being on this site, they're a prog band and
no mistake. What concerns me is that this is yet another controversy
sparked by that accursed list. WHY DO WE NEED IT?

It was and is NOT a conversation about whether or not to have Tool on this site at all.It was a conversation about Lateralus being in the Top 100.
