No they don't inject anything. Except some form of tranquiliser.

And it's absolute ignorance to neglect the Mars Volta or Radiohead as being in the least bit progressive. As ShootingStar said, varying time signatures, unorthodox composition and experimental sounds. Prog music is what it says it is. Progressive. Those two bands are constantly evolving their sound and style. It is ignorance to deny that the Mars Volta or Radiohead do not in anyway resemble the progressive style. Because they do. And they do it particularly better then Dream Theater. Dream Theaters sound has barely changed from day 1.

It must be a very neglected 40gb of prog on your computer Don, if Dream Theater come out on top.
