I like some DT, Awake and the Octavarium piece fx, but they're still no match for Caravan't first 5 albums.

DT hasn't grabbed me except for "Pull Me Under" and "A Change Of Seasons" Caravan on the other hand is one of my top favorite bands. I love Grey And Pink, For Girls Who Grow Plump, Caravan And The New Symphonia, Cunning Stunts and Blind Dog At St. Dunstans especially.

I listened to a Dream Theater album a few times (Scenes From a Memory) and I can't deny I was entertained, so I don't want to jump on the bashing bandwagon. But Caravan is much, much, much better. I vote accordingly.

This... DT's rabid fans left for either MMA or the DT fan sites....not much to discuss though based on the last couple albums DT released, they are boring save for a couple songs. |
hah. So much for the notion of DT being a gateway band into the larger world of prog huh.  
|
They are a gateway for so many bands of the late 90's and 00's and 10's...Will they continue to be a gateway, probably. But the influence has been set well before the past 2-3 albums.

Sorry guys, but I can't stand them.

count yourself lucky then you weren't married to red haired hellion who LOVED Celine Dion. I'd poke my eyes out and listen to DT before I ever laid eyes on a willing red head or a CD of Dion's

i'm actually going with Dream Theater on this one. however, i only know Panic Attack, Pull Me Under, and On the Backs of Angels very well. did listen to their two latest albums, which were alright, but they may need more listens like ALOT of other albums out there.

Has to be Caravan. For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night is a very closely held favourite of mine, while ol' DT are quite decent... though of course that's not good enough to stand against any other runner in this whole competition.

I know what you mean Raff. I've even tested the waters with a couple of comments and nothing. It used to be even if you said DT was anything less than the best band ever all the fanboys would come out of the woodwork looking for blood.

Yes, this has taken away a lot of the fun we used to have when bashing DT  ...
