That's just in this forum...There have also been several threads in General Music Discussions forum, of which these are probably the most relevant:

Well even if people don't agree with them being prog, they still should go into prog related am I right?

Seeing as they are related to a prog artist (Tool)

They haven't got a hope of getting in Prog Related, I'm afraid. It's a very exclusive club, and whilst A Perfect Circle certainly meet some of the criteria (influenced by prog rock, having members of other bands who are regarded as important fully-fledged prog rock bands - albeit just the vocalist) it would be a pretty weak case imo, & they are unlikely to get the support they would need from a Special Collaborator, who would need to put together a strong argument for their inclusion to present to our admins. Proggnosis have them in Progressive Metal: Goth - Goth Rock/Metal http://www.proggnosis.com/ARTIST_Detail.aspx?AID=3974, but our sister site Metalmusicarchives has them in Alternative Metal: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/a-perfect-circle, and that says it all, really - since a good many artists whose style is listed as Progressive Metal on that site aren't similarly regarded on our own site.
