Just kidding, although my vote still doesn't change (either does my opinion of Maynard Keenan). Tool really haven't been influential enough for a nomination. Their music is weak prog metal with more time signature changes than notes, which although it hasn't been done before, probably never will be done again either.
Where'd ya get the idea they have that many time changes.

I don't pretend to know everything there is about music, and I don't know ****all about Prog, but Tool creates an atmosphere that (imo) notes and time sig changes come second to.

Which I'm behind because a lot of what was going on with Lateralus was incredible.

I thought 10k Days was a little more song oriented than album, but the songs that were big were tremendous. I think Tool's biggest downfall are their fans.
