Don't worry, I know what I'm talking about.  I know more about jazz than most here.  What you're trying to get at is the Parker/Coltrane=Great, and Dream Theater=Bad.  But if I asked you how much you listened to either you would probably say very little to both.  The conclusion is that Parker and Coltrane are protected by their reputation (which is very well deserved), while Dream Theater's reputation on this site leaves them vulnerable.  Nobody wants to dislike the masters/the people they're expected to like.

Every band has their day. Seems like DT's has passed.

I think DT and PT are not in the same sport league , you know. I mean, this is like comparing the Toronto Raptors and Bluejays. Both play their leagues and they aer great.
 
Steven Wilson is a genius without a doubt but DT is an al time great band.

I agree here.  Everyone should be perfectly OK by stating that he dislikes the subject discussed in a thread or that he prefers none. Everyone has got the options to agree, to disagree, to ignore or to protest. Sometime ago I was discussing similar situation with MikeEnRegalia, who was of the opinion that the best reaction to the threads you dislike is ignoring them, but I kinda disagree, because sometimes negative comments can be very helpful for other people participating to understand the point.
 
and by the way, I don't really like any of the two bands mentionned here

A vote for DT, for rather nostalgic reasons.

I love IAW and Awake.
