Unfortunately, I don't think Tool will ever be ranked next to the Beatles or Pink Floyd. They're fantastic, but unfortunately not at the beginning.
Now matter how good they are and what fantastic stuff they produce, they're too commercially successful to be seen as artistic, not successful enough to be mainstream popular, and too esoteric to be controversial. It's hard to censer music when you don't even know the song is a recipe for weed brownies. Bible thumpers would much rather just go after Marilyn Manson.
