While I like DT very much and would even prefer it to some of those bands, in terms of "progressiveness" and originality IMO these are better than DT. Edit: The above list are just bands that came to my mind ... they're in no particular order and not my definite favorite bands. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| Personally speaking, they wouldn't be- the sheer originality of the 70s prog bands would mean they would outweigh any bands for me that came in the 1980s. That's not to say I don't like bands like DT- I do- but pretty much all of the more modern or 'neo' prog bands I've heard so far can be tied down to at least one other band's style. |

Dream Theater is my favorite band, with Yes not far behind, and without a doubt the best progressive metal band. I feel they are in the top 10 prog groups of all time, but although I prefer them somewhat to Yes, Rush, Genesis and etc. those three are the Gods of prog rock, so I could never justify putting DT higher than them in a all time Top 10 prog group poll. |

the most of the people in this page like 70`s progressive stuff , the pioneer bands. thats because dreamtheater will always figure out of the 10 or the 20 top prog bands.
maybe in five or six more albums dreamtheater reach the top 10 , bu if they make new contributions to the progressive music escene. |

Though I'm not particularly fond of them, I say yes. Like Marillion progressed progrock into the eighties DT did the same in the nineties, so yes. top 10 according to me. (In order of importance) 1. Yes

They are a good band after all, but only half of their albums are good the other half is quite bad! I mean : I&W, awake, scenes and 6 degrees are great albums and FII, WDADU, TOT and Octavarium are really boring and not good. (although wdadu has it's moment. charlie dominici ruins everything) They should try harder and not go to record an album for 3 weeks and then release it !!! and they should stop imitate U2 , muse and linkin park |

YES! not only are the the finest musicians out today( tohuhg not the best writers), they defined a generation of prog, and that alone puts them in the same boat as Yes ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

All the top 10s are subjective so no one can say if they are or not. For me they are but I admit that I have never heard VDGG, Gong, Anglarad and Caravan so my list may change in time. By the way DT are not my fav prog metal band. Fates Warning are... |

I think you have to list true progressive rock bands first. I can think of at least 20 before DT´s metal prog. May I suggest to add Mariachi-Prog ?. It would be great for those Tequila saturday afternoons |
