I agree it's nice to have talented musicians, but just because a band doesn't have "the best" drummer in prog doesn't mean they should be dismissed. It's not about the talent, it's what you do with it.

I agree, and who said a band sucked just because they don't have the best musicians? I surely didn't.

I like Tool, a lot. Adam Jones is an underrated guitarist, certainly not the best. Carey is great, but he's not the best prog drummer, that's just my opinion, though if we're talking technical skill wise, it's also a fact.

I probably wouldn't call PT any particular kind of prog, they mix many styles and metal is just one of them, they are in a bit of a metal phase right now but they're a constantly evolving band. Their early material is more space rock, their late 90s/early 00s stuff is more melodic prog.

I know but when people say "I pick this band cuz they have the best drummer" to me it comes across as them not taking the music completely into account.
