I haven't listened to DT in awhile now, I'll probably go through their discography once the new album comes out.

[QUOTE=killerteacup;40874411]Dream theater should not be popular at all
literally took the exact formula of the bad parts of 70s prog and made it the basis of their entire band idg the appeal[/QUOTE]
I liked them because I thought they were different to everything else when I started listening to them, but considering all I listened to before DT was dad rock and MCR that's not suprising
[editline]2nd June 2013[/editline]
also because John Petrucci was my husbando
i dont even understand how dream theater are prog
keyboards and 50 guitar solos is not prog, its just shit
neither is terrible overpretentious lyrics

...both of those things are prog staples ok
the riffs are all generic alternative metal crap, they're just called prog because for keyboards and 30 minute songs
metal is for nerds
they're called prog because keyboards, 30 minute songs, weird time sigs, overpretentious lyrics and general technical showoff wankery which is pretty valid they're just a showcase of all the terrible aspects of prog rock
they're called metal because of the shit riffs and shitness
hence prog metal
not a good start for the genre

thanks i always try my best
i saw DT live once and it was basically a slideshow of shit songs interdispersed with interminable solos. i get that they wasted decades of their lives practising arpeggios but seriously nobody actually wants to hear that shit
I tried listening to Dream Theater once it was boring as shit and the song was unnecessarily long
DT is good ambient music in that I totally tune out when ever I listen to it
ive never even heard one of their songs
I heard pull me under once and one of my friends showed me dance of eternity and was like look at the odd time signatures!!
King crimson did them better
Pretty sure one of their songs was on Guitar Hero.
Emerson lake and palmer literally have on halfway decent album otherwise they are massive assfuckks
i looked them up on youtube and the audience looked like they were waiting for hte bus

which album are you referring to
the point is Rush is the only consistantly good prog rock band (until 1980) b/c they are secretly an early 70s rock band unless u include hawkwind who are like secret american krautrock and maybe throw like the first 5 years of king crimson in there, the first two yes records, and like 1 out of every 4 pink floyd records

[QUOTE=killerteacup;40875342]which album are you referring to[/QUOTE]
brain salad
i keep trying to listen to tarkus and it is seriously like the worst thing ever
[editline]2nd June 2013[/editline]
ironically brain salad surgery was made around when their egos were the most full of shit
also moody blues has like 1 or 2 good records MAYBE
i like pink floyds first record a lot

Rush are good always, but I'm still iffy on the vocals, that sort of falsetto rock voice has never done it for me
Hawkwind are gr8 up to a point, they do decline in quality. Journey in search of space though is a god tier space rock album
King Crimson are patchy early on (Lizard and Crimson King are gr8 the other 2, Islands is Shit, Poseidon is okay but unoriginal), get better from Lark's Tongue and decline after their first new wave album never to recover

That's kind of why I'm not a big fan of brain salad, but I gotta admit its a pretty great album. I'm pretty partial to their self titled as well but tarkus is shit
Moody blues has knights in white satin
