Pink Floyd hands down, I dont even consider dream theater to be a good band. Lyrics are amazing, musically compelling (like a ton of other people have said), basically just for all the other reasons already listed. I'll say why I don't think dream theater can hold a candle to pink floyd. They've got amazing technical ability, i'll give them that. Aside from that, I don't think they've got anything going for them. There's only so many times you can listen to them wailing on their instruments before it all starts to sound like the same stuff over and over again. They need to bring something else to the table before I'd consider them a good band.
