You cannot possibly say something like that. How can you compare two bands if you have never heard one of them? I much prefer floyd because I have heard Dream Theater's music and consequently I could form an opinion. You may love DT when you hear them.

sometimes thats true. it also depends on there taste of music, but you know, i never really liked the genre of DT but i listened to them and i liked them, except with the vocalist. I really dont have a fancy for DT's vocalist. thats my opinion

Hmn, I pretty much agree with everyone on Pink Floyd. Sorry to the DT-fanboys, but maybe this thread would have been better off if you had picked a group more on DT's level to compare with (AKA Symphony X or maybe Redemption).

I do give Dream Theater the credit, however, of giving birth to both Images and Words and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, which in my opinion were impressive efforts from an otherwise boring group of musicians. It's just a shame Awake, Scenes of a Memory Pt. 2, and their other 6 studio albums are fairly lame in comparison to those two.

At this point, I think John Petrucci should just go join some other band and knife LaBrie through the back before he goes...

Not to contradict you, and not that he meant what im about to say, but if he hasn't heard of Dream Theater it is probably because they have been a lot less influential in music and made much less of an impact on the industry than pink floyd. Therefore not making PF the better band, but more influential.

Or maybe im wrong, idk but thats how i saw it.

we all have different views on this. I think you could be right, and you could be wrong. but its a free opinion .

and dream theater hasnt had much influence on people like Pink Floyd has because Pink Floyd im sure has been around longer and has made a bigger inpact in the music industry. Dream Theater does have some influence like with John Petrucci and his way to play a solo easier. But as you said "less infuence" you say they still had an influence which is right. Just not as much as Pink Floyd.

If Dream Theater had come out the same time as Pink Floyd they may have impacted a specific genre but not music as a whole which Floyd did. In addition to that their influence still wouldn't have been as big.
