I love it all but prefer their earlier albums. I&W is still my #1 favorite.

Pull Me Under. Sounds as good today as it did then.

The first Dream Theater song I'd ever heard was In The Name Of God at a party a few years ago. I bought Train Of Thought and have since collected all of their other works. It's all fantastic!

@hazard_pay, I seem to be one of the fans that greatly enjoy any and all of their work. I think its incredible they can dabble in so many styles and be so great at anything. If I truly had to choose a preference, I lean towards the new stuff, which I consider Scenes and on. Scenes was the breakthrough masterpiece and everything after it feels like a fine tuning an growth in detail and emotion. Train of Thought is the best metal I've ever heard.. Octavarium is true brilliance..systematic chaos was an amazing mix of musical ideas, all perfect.. That's the album i really felt the biggest step in growth. Black clouds is so emotional and powerful, nightmare is unreal.. The count of tuscany is the best song they've ever written. The new album I believe is their best ever, if not tied with Scenes

I was 13 years old and watching MTV. Suddenly "Lie" came on. I really liked the song, but I was so into Metallica at the time that I didn't give them another chance and forgot about them. Fast forward 20 years and I was trying to figure out why I liked Metallica so much. I realized it was because of many of their complex arrangements. I read a comment somewhere that Metallica occasionally used progressive elements in their music. So I looked up progressive metal on Wikipedia and started listening to the bands listed in the article on Youtube and came across "On the Backs of Angels". I quickly figured out that it was done by the same band who had done "Lie". Metallica is now my second favorite band. I just can't believe I missed out all those years.

Some of them hated the mathematics that drove them, and some were afraid, and some worshiped the mathematics because it provided a refuge from thought and from feeling. - John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath)

The first time I heard Dream Theater I was searching for tunes on emusic. I had recently discovered Iron Maiden and was looking for music by them. While searching on emusic it was suggested that if I like Iron Maiden I may like Dream Theater as well. Oh man, do I ever like Dream Theater. As a matter of fact, Iron Maiden is great but I think DT is way superior. Dream Theater's music is exactly what I have been searching for all my life; I am 57 this year, and I only wish I had discovered them a little sooner.

BTW have you seen this video on youtube of these kids playing "Pull Me Under"?
These kids are talented. http://youtu.be/6h2h4zIhwuM
