Of all the progressive metal bands, i would say DT are the worst, they are certainly the least original, however they were the first band of this genre to get a good deal of popularity, but it pisses me off when DT fanboys confuse popularizing a genre with being innovative and original, because nearly every other prog metal band has more to offer than DT imo...Bands like Tool have originality on their side, because they dont have to rely on nothing but stealing ideas from old prog bands to be considered "prog"...This is not so for Dream Theater...Symphony X and Opeth are better recomended.

Pink Floyd by far, in fact the guy who made this comparison should be shot.
