Dream Theater are part of the reason that I chose the name "ihateguitarists" a while back. I can't stand that extremely obnoxious style of playing. Since when did playing the guitar become more of an athletic activity than a musical one? Just because you can play really fast doesn't mean you can write songs worth the crap. Dream Theater prove this.

Not to mention, Pink Floyd are awesome! <3

aw yeh

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...:love:

Amen to that (generally). :)

Pink Floyd is one of my favourite bands ever so I'm not going to go against them.

However, I do like Dream Theater too but it's not much of a comparison. I can't really get in-depth but Pink Floyd just seems more creative and different.

I never heard of Dream Theater before today. Time to jump over to the punk forum.

Agreed, DT have no chance against Pink Floyd!

Dream Theater is prog...?

And, I really like Dream Theater, but is this even a contest? I don't know how 11 people mustered up the balls to vote against Pink Floyd when they're obviously better.

There are at least 11 idiots in this forum...

Astronomer 11-06-2008 04:54 PM

I'm probably one of them.

I think I agree with ihateguitarists in that Dream Theatre's style kind of gets very obnoxious at times.

Pink Floyd FTW.
