it doens't have to have complex structures or long tracks to be prog... that thing about Rage... and Petrucci was a figure of speech, you narrow minded Theater freaks... don't try to convince me or anyone else that Ryche are not prog... i've made my peace with Queen been under the Prog Related genre but i won't tolerate any more...
Ryche released 4 excellent prog albums (Rage..., Operation I & II and Promised Land)... their music was light years ahead their time... that's where their progginess lies...
P.S. i love DT... they are the reason i listen to prog...

Are Queensryche actually prog? Oh no, the 'prog' argument. I just think SO many 80s/90s metal bands were prog influenced in some way it is hard to draw a line. As I said in another poll, I think Iron Maiden are prog...take a listen to the songs 'Seventh son of a seventh son' and 'Alexander the great' and tell me they are not prog.

Never thought it would happen, but I actually voted for Dream Theater here!
Queensryche made one good album - Operation Mindcrime.
The rest, such as Empire, Rage For Order, etc, are all predictable pap.

Dream Theater was formed in 1985, as far as I know, one year before Rage for Order.
Anyways, I voted for DT, because Queensrÿche isn't really a Prog band
in my opinion. The only real Prog album they released was the above
mentioned Rage for Order. OM was Heavy Metal with clever lyrics.

For musicianship, Dream Theater (except for the vocals)
For Originality, Queensryche (See the influence on the DVD´s Scenes from NY and Operation Livecrime, right down to the big flashback scene at the end)

I've got Rage..., and its not that prog to me. And, to be pedantic, JP and the others were already in Majesty writing up songs like The Killing Hand.
To answer the question, DT by a country mile.

Is it necessary to choose a band limiting your thoughts (and feelings) to whether it's prog or not prog enough ? Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime is the ultimate music beast and I wonder whether these fellows from Berklee could write their Metropolis pt.2 if it didn't exist first place.

DT hands down. Queensryche is not nearly as proggy as some would have you believe...
