I have a feeling I pity you a lot more. Random rubbish? Each DT album has a completely different theme...oh wait, you're joking, oops.

Yeah that's why I said it, but in all honesty I don't find any DT solo to be wank, because they put their heart into it and you can feel how much power they convey with each note. And with the intro session in CTTE, to me it's like they don't really care what notes they are playing.

If by focus and ambitious you mean boring **** and pointless wank, then ok. I love around 90% of DT's tracks, and I think Awake is the only below average album, but you said Yes made 2 or 3 bad ones?? rofl, you just walked right into that one.

Wtf? Argue with you? This is the so called 'argument:'
You - "I like Yes and dislike DT, and DT are even suckier 'cause Yes are their influences."
Me - "Oh yeah, well I like DT and dislike Yes and I don't care about influences because it's immaterial when it comes to taste."
What a fantastic argument you got going there.
I find it almost hysterical that you said "Yes are better than DT in every way, except maybe technical skill, but to hell with technical skill," because you're arguing about everything you can't measure except technical ability, and we both agree DT are better in that department! rofl.

I find even Pertucci's worst solos to be better than any of that crap you mentioned. And you don't find Myung's bass lines to be 'spellbinding' or interesting? That's fine, but don't try and say that “Roundabout” is any good in comparison and keep a straight face at the same time.
As for Rudess and simple and gorgeous, I think his work in "One Last Time," is probably the best example there, and unlike your examples, it doesn't send me into a fit and rage because of its lameness.
