Dream Theater vs Savatage

Dream Theater

The thing is Savatage have has so many great CDs  in their time 

DT > Anything else

Savatge are a great band too.

DT, but I like Savatage too.

^Omg, poll necromancy.

Anyways, although DT is not really my cup of tea, I prefer them over Savatage. DT are better musicians, better composers, better lyricists, and most of all, they have a much better band name (which is the thing I really love about them).

  Dream Theater gets my vote here. I like Savatage too. I warmly recommend newcomers in the world of Savatage any album post-The Hall of the Mountain King. Great music!

First the technical skills is just amazing, this is the leading cause of head explosion.  While Petrucci cycles through thousands sometimes millions of modulations in his guitar solos along with the unison parts he shares with keyboard ace Jordan Rudess, the eyes start rolling at an incredible rate trying to catch up to these awe-inspiring phrases as the sounds are moving around the room. (that's right a listener can see Dream Theater's sound it's so good)

The next is the incredible rythmnic capabilities of Mike Portnoy and John Myung.  While Myung lays down groovy yet skilled basslines using more than just the root note of the chord, mixing in numerous intervals to match the modulations of Petrucci and Rudess, the head starts bobbing in 6400/16 because of the amazing beat laid down by not only drummer, but musical massuist Mike Portnoy.  (that's right, Dream Theater's music is so good the body can feel it)

Finally between the amazing production producing these crystal clear incredible tones and the breathtaking voice of James LaBrie (yes, James LaBrie's singing makes the listener feel like he's singing the song) and in fact, the listener is.  From matching the incredibly high pitches (known as wails to those with lesser vocabulary) the head finally explodes.

I vote ELP.
