Overture 1928 is one of the greatest openings to any album ever in my opinion.

Stream of Consciousness is one of my favorite Dream Theater songs. So as far as instrumentals, it's definitely number 1.

Dreamtheater are incredible at instrumentals. All those listed are 5 stars material , Ill vote for Erotomania this time.
PD: Can't I vote for "Acid Rain" I mean , it's mostly the same as DT , and I am sure Myung can pull out that bass lines.

Dance Of Eternity. I'm learning the piano solo in it at the moment, and it makes the song

"Hell's Kitchen" for the win! Breathtaking instrumental, with some beautiful shredding. I don't know how anyone can say Petrucci is unemotional when he plays that solo.
Also, the SoC solo 4 minutes in is pure awesome, but the song is far too long and it has far too few ideas for such a long one.

HE PLAYS WITH NO EMOTION. Although that sucks, because no one is going to take that seriously when I say that. Seriously though, it wasn't really until Octavarium when I started to really be put off by some of Petrucci's solos

I can totally see why you would say that Petrucci has no emotion when he plays. However, honestly, do you not see "Hell's Kitchen" beautiful?
And only an idiot would vote for SoC.  I already gave my reasons.

Erotomania, thought it might as well be Overture 1928 or Dance of Eternity. Topofsm is right about Stream of Consciousness, the riff is fantastic but it just drags on minutes too long.

I've seen many DT DVDs and I don't think the plays without emotion. If anything, I'd say that he simply doesn't let his emotion interfere with timing and precision ...which is something that he shares with many other players from Jazz and Classical. Only in Rock and Metal sometimes fans mistake "stage acting" and sloppy timing for emotionality.

The Dance of Eternity for me.
They´re such an instrumental force,
all of the pieces listed are top notch.

One mans sloppy timing, is another mans emotion.
Really, I'd rather listen to music with a guitar player who's sloppy, and a singer who doesnt always hit all the notes rather than listen to a group that plays everything to perfection. Perfection (to me) equals lack of idea's, and a status quo performance. "Sloppy" Shows difference, and allows emotion to be shown.
IMO of course, I dont mean to bash anyone, I just like this argument!

I think it's generally what's being played around the solo that will make the moment emotional. Erotomania, Hell's Kitchen, and Octovarium's solos would be a lot less effective without the keyboards.
