Valid as in "having the right to exist" maybe it is. But please: a band vs an album?! We could also have Sigur Ros vs Close to the Edge..(?!?) Yes vs DT wouldn't be bad (the results would be  ) , Images and Words vs Tales wouldn't be bad, but a band vs an album????

I know you're making a joke of it but I actually would like to hear them do that, and I'm sure a lot of DT fanboys (like myself) would. Sure the Master of Puppets cover album kind of sucks but if you listen to "Made In Japan" or "Dark Side" I think they do a great job, never missing a single note.
Even if you don't like them you cannot deny their incredible musicianship, they'd musically be able to pull it off without problem. LaBrie on the other hand.....as much as I love him and think he's perfect for DT....I don't know how he'd do.

bingo... I do... and it would be a DT album I'd actually buy just to hear him mangle it  no one doubts their skill... what many doubt are their abilities to ever make an album like that... to take that prodigious skill.. and make good music with it.. rather than merely a display of how well they play their instruments.

Well I guess it all comes down to taste. I really love everything Dream Theater's done and can't find a thing wrong with their music but for a lot of other people they dislike a lot of Dream Theater's music, if not all of it. For some it's just LaBrie, I love the man and all of his work but a lot of people seem to find his voice irritating. Again, something that comes down to taste.
However, it was hilarious to hear him when they covered Master of Puppets, and it would be rather interesting to hear how he'd do on TFTO, like you said

Tales from Topographic Oceans = Tasteful structure and economy (most of the time  )
Dream Theater = Too many notes

and so proves my "it all comes down to taste" theory. Some people prefer shred opposed to more feel. Some feel the opposite. Music is a love/hate thing.

I think this is somewhat of a redundant thread because everyone knows PA hates Dream Theater
however I do appreciate the ridiculousness of it

As far as many are concerned, I hate metal. Any type of it.
Definitely the mega-star album Tales pass's DT by far(although I'm clear enough that they realesed some very influential albums).
I agree about that, it's a very odd poll, band vs album??!??

I agree. It does come down to taste. But isn't a forum about MUSIC a primary place to discuss the subjectivity that is "taste?" I think when it comes to PA, your "theory" is a given. Or at least should be.

Not really.. the most awful DT cover album is not MAster of Puppets but Number of The Beast... I love DT 100% when they play DT, when they play other things... well... (I don't like covers anyway..)
But in my view DT would actually make that long boring album that TFTO is a little bit more interesting... About LAbrie, as long as he doesn't sing the absurd lyrics in Anderson's annoying voice, he wouldnt have much problem... I mean, when he had to cover Dickinson (more power) or Hetfield (another completely different kind of voice) he sucked... But Anderson.. all he has to do is pinch his.....

Micky is right, that's exactly why you buy this album if it ever happens, which it won't, but a must have for any prog fan period. You know, a kind of benchmark to educate the newcomers to progressive rock. They can then see who one of the true masters of the dicipline was and still is.... .......................

DT FANS or Yes FANS... you all would come out on top... you all are good sports for all the abuse you put up with here hahhaha

Yes still wins in the fans poll...
I guess it's hopeless... Unless you create a thread call "Big Generator vs Images and Words"... MAYBE DT would come out on top.... But even then... maybe if you create a poll called "Jon Anderson Serial killer Rapist Murderer vs Nobel Peace Prize Winner Labrie" would DT come out on top... maybe......
