--- Quote from: Azathoth ---I might just have to give it a listen although even if I do agree that it rocks, its proginess surely does not contribute to said rockin.

Wait till you hear the solo section on 'Master of Darkness' where an entire light-saber fight is done with keyboards and then Darth fuckin' Vader comes in with an insane prog solo.
Azathoth:
I understand the distinction and perhaps I should have clarified that earlier. However, as I've heard the term applied, art-rock (the genre) still allows for conventional structures.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
It does, and as I said it would properly have been better if I had said prog, that's what I meant anyway.
Kai:
--- Quote from: sp2 --- The Residents are arty. Blonde Redhead are arty. Mars Volta can pass for arty. Devotchka (you've never heard of them, but you should look into them anyways) are arty. Tool, yeah, not arty. The guitar and bass parts, while sometimes technical, are very conventional. The vocals are conventional. The drum beats are certainly interesting and in strange time signatures, but they are for the most part, conventional prog or tribal beats. Art rock implies NONconventional music, and Tool just doesn't do that.

Quoted for emphasis. (that and the part about the Residents, who totally rule and everyone should listen to them.)
And I need to look into Devotchka.

They're a Denver local band. Avant folk something or another. They're finally beginning to get some national press. Figured I'd pimp the local scene.
