I love Tool, and i think they are quite underrated by many prog fans. (well maybe not by Jody). I think many progressive fans of Tool do not acknowledge the great creativity and rythmnic complexity this band has. They also have a sound that was for so long all of their own, listening to Tool is a different musical experience.

I never cared for them. Not one of their songs I heard made me want to check out one of their albums.

Love them. One of the biggest disappointments of my life was having tickets to a concert they were going to play in Norway and the show got cancelled only a couple of days before the event due to sickness of some kind (not really sure about the details)

I love them.I even love all there amusing and quirky album fillers as well.I think a lot of people don't get this bands sense of humour.Oh to have been in the US when King Crimson were Tool's support act!What a show that would have been.

Have yet to get into them. Probably will sometime in the future.

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Love them. Maynard makes me want to learn to sing. I have thoughts that
I want to express through music, and Tool certain give me inspiration
to do that.

well I like Tool but I don`t love them , In a way I think due to their popularity its good they get branded as progressive as some of the non progressive fans may spill this way.

I don't listen to them much anymore, but they are the band responsible for getting me to listen to music at a deeper level, and I really appreciate that.

I don't really like them, but I've only heard a few songs.
From what I've heard, they just repeat the same riff a lot of the time.
However, I love the first 11 seconds of Schism.(I'm not kidding). It's a cool expressive little bass riff.

I used to like em, and listen to them, but i never used to really be super into them.
However, now I LOVE THEM!!!!
I'm playing a tribute show on friday, and each band gets to pick a band to tribute, and we're playing tool! here's the setlist:
1. Aenema
2. Part of Me
3. Schism
4. Ticks and Leeches/Third Eye
They are in the top 10 list for me! (nothing beats genesis though. :P )

I LOVE TOOL...
Four years ago, with “Lateralus”, they rescue me from my musical skepticism. They are my heroes, now I have a full melodious spectrum to listen thanks to them.

I've not heard any good arguments as to why they're boring. I mean, I
can rant on about how deep they are and give examples and stuff for
hours.... but the people who find them boring can't even say why ???

I took me a bit to get into them, but now I love them, in particular Aenima and Lateralus; Undertow doesn't do much for me.
