Unfortunately, some folks classify Tool as progressive metal and, if that's the case, there's just too many other bands that I'd place way above them. I just find their stuff a bit boring. Don't get me wrong, some of their stuff is good and of course I haven't delved into the recesses of their catalog, so I am not an expert.
About time we talk about these guys! One of my favorite bands. Light one up and open your mind up to this masterpiece.

Opiate, Undertow, Ænima and A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms are great albums (is that term still used?) and in my book those are timeless.
Lateralus, 10,000 Days and APC's Thirteenth Step & Emotive sound and feel like a completely different band to the point where a name change would have been appropriate.
My all time favorite Band! but sick and tired of waiting waiting waiting and waiting... :-D
Love me some 'Prison Sex' and a 'Stinkfist'
