I agree with everything you said (except the Tool beeing repetitive part). I actually enjoy Manyard's voice a lot more than in Tool.

semantics aside, a perfect circle is intelligent, interesting, well constructed rock music.

I adore their "Weak and Powerless" song, but they're not prog. A good band nonetheless

A Perfect Circle is alternative rock. That being said, they do belong in Prog Related.

"Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

A wide subgenre that encompasses two kinds of bands/artist, that either consist of progressive artist that strayed away from their progressive roots into mainstream rock or were influenced by progressive rock."

APC just fit perfectly. They are not simply a rock band, and their prog connection is rather strong because of Maynard. And even if I think APC is alternative, I do think there is some prog in their music. The fact that "progressive rock" is the third most popular tag on them on Last.fm might suggest that.

So why shouldn't APC be in Prog Related? I simply can't understand that.
