I've never been crazy about him myself...but I grew up listening to country and rock anyway (and I never cared for his grunting and "hee-heeing" between every line)...

'Tis. Though Stravinsky just about flattens every other composer I've heard for melody and attack, and Rachmaninov for personality and beauty. That said, I haven't heard nearly enough other composers.

I've yet to hear that. I always say that I am going to check out some of these classical songs that prog bands have rockified but I almost never get around to doing it. Although, I do have Holst's Planets so I've at least listened to 1 of them.

Octavarium was mixed. I can't remember much of it. Panic Attack and Never Enough (despite the awkward chorus) appeared the best songs. The title track was mixed, and I don't particularly like the effect of gluing a million influences together with prittstick, though there were strong moments. I can't remember much of the rest; I Walk Beside You was embarrassing, and I think Sacrificed Sons was good, but can't remember how it went.

Stravinsky is amazing. He's my favorite so far, but I'm still a mega newbie.

That's one thing about DT albums for me is because of their length they take two or three listens before I really start recognizing the songs.

SOMEONE LIKE HIM seems to draw from the Carpe Diem theme that A Change of Seasons made so famous.
