Agreed but Tool I think has done a really great job with making it a serious art form and not a lite rock scale-fest. Prog also is a loose term (as is all musical boundries) and so its hard to know what you'd consider prog, would Frank Zappa be prog, I'd say so on some songs. Is rush? I find them appealing.
21st Century Schizoid man it think is one of the best songs I've ever heard, and King Crimsons Schizm is really adept as well.
