A Metal band with Prog leanings IMO, but probably many will disagree.

It depends on what era of the band's music you're talking about. Modern DT? Absolutely agree with you. Classic DT? Very Prog, in my opinion.

The same way, you could tell that Genesis and Yes are pop bands...

^ Well yeah, I mean, I think regardless of what a band may do later in their career, if there was a significant time in their history when they broke new ground and produced truly progressive music, they deserve to be here. 

I've actually never questioned DT's inclusion on this site, although I discovered them through here, too, so . . . Embarrassed

damn...  I've thrown every insult I could at DT... but sorry.. can't go there.  Of course they are prog... they are not progressive... but that has obviously stopped meaning anything in regards to prog for many bands/artists...

edit.. or prog fans sadly...



Insert virtuosity, tracks running more than 10 minutes, metric complexity, and stupid lyrics... and an hour (or worse.. 80 minutes) later... viola... you have prog.

yawn....   it is the genrefication of prog (© Micky 2007)  You can try to deny it... but while you do... 100's more bands what have not one progresive quality will release albums recognized as prog albums.

Oh God.

Luckily I anticipated a thread like this would be made again. Got a pistol with one bullet by my side.

The sad thing is, even members of DT-specific Message Boards don't like them! Portnoy shut down the official forums because there were too many Tool vs. Dream Theater or PoS vs. Dream Theater polls . . . and the opposition almost always won! LOL

They're not prog metal. They're frog metal. Metal that jumps and leaps and seems to be onlh trying to find a acne-scarred princess to kiss it so it reveals its inner beauty.
