Who SERIOUSLY voted yes?!... I mean DT might have a lot of skills, and did a couple of good songs, but the greatest ever?! This is pointless discussion...

I dare anyone who voted yes to this to tell me 10 other prog bands other than prog-metal ones...

The greatest ever???  Not by a mile.

Only a band like Yes or Genesis or maybe Pink Floyd could be considered the greatest.  Calling a band like Dream Theater the greatest is like calling ELP the greatest.  Just can't be.  Not now, not ever!

No... not by a longshot. I love the band tremendously, but the best ever? Yeah, right.

Well I doubt that because I love Dt, but wouldn't consider them GOING TO THE BEST BECAUSE they are already the best AT THE MOMENT. This is not the 70s. If they were in the 70s, they still would be NUMMBER #1

THEIR PEEK WAS METROPOLIS PT2. A MAGNIFICENT ALBUM BUT NOT THE BEST EVER HEARD.

I DONT THINK THEY´LL BE ABLE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT GREAT AND HAVING HEARD BETER ALBUMS I VOTE FOR NO.

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends... the battle of the GIANTS!!!

I'd put my money on Genesis, Yes or ELP,

On Floyd, Gentle Giant or KC,

but certainly not on ... (to give a hint on the last word: it rhymes  )

Dream Theater is a great band, but they are NOTgonna be the greatest prog band ever.

The title "Greatest Prog Band Ever!!!" is only fitting to the prog master bands from the 70's, like Genesis, Gentle Giant, Yes, ELP, VDGG, King Crimson etc. IMO

There is no such thing as "objective best".

and here's my subjective opinion: They are not, infact.. they are over their peak(Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence) and have felt, and still are falling since then.

But man, they've put out really good stuff over the years!
