Batty, what Tool songs have you listened to? Maybe I could give you some recs that might convince you you they don't totally suck.\

I think part of it for me is that I got into Tool partly because of their awesome music videos. It's really easy to get into their music while watching the videos. Try it some time.

Another thing: I'm not saying you should change it now, but if bands are allowed on multiple lists, I would put Lateralus on the prog metal list and Aenima on the alternative metal list.

And one more thing: One of the big reasons I like Tool is that rather than all of the giant, theatrical songs that most metal bands go for, Tool reduces metal to its roots. I doubt most metal fans today would even consider Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath metal, but they were the pioneers of the genre. Almost every metal band of the 80s built their sound around these critical band's sound. These bands weren't big and theatrical. They actually had a very raw and unproduced sound. Remind you of anybody I'm rooting for? I rest my case.
