Yeah, I don't place a very high priority on vocals, but that's not to say that I don't like them. Point being, that I can like a band if I hate the vocals.

Myung and Rudess are great musicians too but they both have better projects than Dream Theater.
I don't like Portnoy's work in Dream Theater really - it seems like he has a "I never met a fill I didn't like" style as someone on progarchives described it.

As a bassist, I think Myung is brilliant though. He exercises far more restraint than anyone in the band.
