Tool is fine. I've got no problems with Tool, even if I don't love what they do. I appreciate what they aim for. But I gotta say... the fact that a trash-tier RHCP album got more votes than some of the other stuff on this poll is giving me the feelings.
1974 is a strange year. Despite being in the early-half of the 70's, generally considered a prolific and bountiful time for popular music, it's clearly not as rich as the two absolutely outstanding years that bookend it. Still, there is some absolutely stellar stuff here, including an album that is in my top-10 of all time. This is an absolutely monster year for prog-rock.
