Pink Floyd were one of the biggest bands in the world during the 70s, as were ELP, Yes and Jethro Tull...Prog was very mainstream until punk and new wave came along. The reason Dream Theater arent popular isnt because they dont have the mainstream sound, its because they arent doing anything new, as talented as they are, they use a lot of old tricks from the books of 70s metal and 70s prog without building their own sound, while Tool and TMV do borrow heavly from 70s prog, they do it while still maintaining their own identity, which Dream Theater havent done, to most people they are just another prog metal band...Also they just arent worth the hype IMO. |

I don't think Dream Theater have a particularly mainstream sound, and IMO their music is original. They may, as you say, borrow a few ideas from 70s bands, but all musicians are influenced by bands they enjoy listening to. And Urban, I completely disagree with the point you're trying to make, but nice analogy. ![]() |
