yes because besides yes and greg lake king crimson those aren't who I consider to be the masters

i'm not talking about a matter of taste, i'm talking about the typical bands that the public in general would consider "prog kings" and are thus to be excluded from a thread like this

like them or not, those bands are the ones that started it all

and even if you don't like king crimson you should at least admit that Fripp is a guitar god

why does no one like amputechture

[C.Mongler]

I dislike both. I fucking hate TMV, but I can at least kind of stand Tool. I vote Rush.

[sans culottes]

Never gotten into Tool. They're pretty cool, but I don't find their music very interesting. I've listened to a lot more Mars Volta, and honestly, they kind of overdo it. I hate to use the word, but it's very "pretentious".

I like parts of it
The album art is neat too

I get what you mean, but I think that's just part of their style to be over-the-top. They're also very talented at what they do, and the fact that they don't give a shit if it's pretentious or not makes it a non-issue for me.
