Though I'm not particularly fond of them, I say yes.

Like Marillion progressed progrock into the eighties DT did the same in the nineties, so yes.

top 10 according to me. (In order of importance)

1. Yes
2. Genesis
3. King Crimson
4. Gentle Giant
5. Van der Graaf Generator
6. Pink Floyd
7. Camel
8. Marillion
9. Dream Theater
10. Magma

 

eit: sorry left out ELP, but they belong on there too i suppose

the most of the people in this page like 70`s progressive stuff , the pioneer bands.

thats because dreamtheater will always figure out of the 10 or the 20  top prog bands.

 

maybe in five or six more albums dreamtheater reach the top 10 , bu if they make new contributions to the progressive music escene.

Dream Theater is my favorite band, with Yes not far behind, and without a doubt the best progressive metal band.  I feel they are in the top 10 prog groups of all time, but although I prefer them somewhat to Yes, Rush, Genesis and etc. those three are the Gods of prog rock, so I could never justify putting DT higher than them in a all time Top 10 prog group poll.

Ok, everyone will post there top tens, mine will be slightly different some, very different to others but the bottom line is Dream Theater wouldn't be in it.
They are one of the top ROCK bands  around at the moment.

Personally speaking, they wouldn't be- the sheer originality of the 70s prog bands would mean they would outweigh any bands for me that came in the 1980s. That's not to say I don't like bands like DT- I do- but pretty much all of the more modern or 'neo' prog bands I've heard so far can be tied down to at least one other band's style.
