Welcome Frenchie. It looks from the age poll currently being carried out  I'm possibly the old phart here but I'm still looking out the old bands/albums I'm missed the first time around (and boy there are many still to discover) and the new. And Im pleased you haven't been detered by any of the anti-prog brigade who have seemed to have run the UK music press since the mid 70's.

Completely with you wrt Tool (and the spin-off A Perfect Circle) - so are Record Collector magazine this month. Give the organisers here time (and a little pressure now and again) and Tool should be there.

BTW if you like Tool and Krimson, have a listen to my favourite 90's (neo) prog band, Anekdoten (alas almost completely ignored in the UK, except Loughborough Campus Radio), available through Amazon.UK (with many days delay) or specialist shops like Ultima Thule at Leicester. Krimson's biographer/expert Sid Smith raved over Anekdoten's last album "Gravity" (2003), which has moved/progressed(?) significantly in style from my favourite "Nucleus" (c 1996).
