Very tough choice. I'll base my choice on the band that is infinately better in a live setting.
DREAMTHEATER.
I've seen both bands in the same venue and there was no comparison.
+ I really love what DT (Portnoy) do to promote new prog acts.

Opeth. I find DT to be much less inventive and mature as musicians in comparison, although they're both fantastic groups.

Well you guys should stop putting down the great band Dream Theater and just because you guys don't like them that doesn't mean they suck. that is your personal opion. that's it!
Mr.Akerfeldt doesn't think they suck, otherwise why is he touring with them? think about it? what you guys are 13 or 15 years old?

Like both bands, they are nearly equaly important to the progmetal scene and groundbraking BUT i think the gloomy sound of Opeth is more for me, BUT then again Opeth never made Images and Words which is a landmark album in Progressive Metal which evry progmetal band will be compared against (like KCs - ICotCK) so DIFFICULT, i have not heard all Dream Theater albums but I have heard ALOT of songs and concert DVDs to make a perspective, verry grate band but all the soloing can be a little bit booring. and all ar stone faced (even though it is verry technical music ) you can smile  , the vocalist in Satyricon smiles more. well Mike is fun to watch and like to get atention (he is my favourite member ), Jorden Rudess is cool but he bends tooo much tones with his tone-bender thing on the keybord, (even thoe its fun to play with it on the sparetime, ive done it myself  ). but dont get me wrong im verry much a fan of Dream Theater one of my 20 favourite bands while Opeth is in topp 10 DT is 13 or something

Exactly  Opeth and DT are closely related (touring, interviews, etc.), and I'm sure Mikael Akerfeldt would be offended hearing that DT "sucks", even if you're complimenting his band. -Jeff

As a fan of both bands, I am a little offended to hear that comment by Leirbag, too. :(

^ Ah, come now, friends. As Dream Theater fans, we have to face the fact that the abuse will always ensue, even if seemingly juvenile.

The results of this poll are absurd. Opeth was winning quite easily last week and now DT has a comfortable lead. Why allowing multiple votes?. The idea of this poll should be quite interesting if each person voted only once. Voting 20 times for your favourite, now that's juvenile.

I'm getting into Opeth having got 5 of their CDs for Christmas and I really like them, but my vote goes to Dream Theater who are one of my top 3 favourite bands (along with Floyd & Iron Maiden).

A few years ago I would say: "Dream Theater all the way". Today it's not so obvious anymore but I guess I value them more than Opeth.
