Edit: By "I know them" I of course mean "I know them not just by name, but I've listened extensively to their music".

I created this poll because I was puzzled by the posts of another thread. Many people apparently don't know Pain of Salvation, but they know Dream Theater.

My suggestion for those of you who don't know Pain of Salvation: Go to their website, click "Band" and then "Samples". You'll see that the first 4 tracks of their masterpiece The Perfect Element Pt. 1 are freely available for download ... and a shortened version of the last track, plus three tracks from their previous albums.

http://www.painofsalvation.com

IMO Pain of Salvation are much better than Dream Theater ... I'm saying this although I am a fanatic Dream Theater fan.

I know Pain of Salvation, Mike, but I can't vote, because you've forgotten to put the "I know them - they're very good, better than Dream Theater, but Opeth owns them both" - option.

Yes, I forgot that option. It seems to be a case of Murphy's Law: There's always one option that you don't think about when you create a poll.

I'm fine with that, but I'm interested in your opinion on the samples:

Maybe you can just listen to this particular sample and tell me what you think about it, from your perspective as someone who doesn't like metal.
