Don't judge a album by it's cover.

One of the best rock bands of all time or a second tier heavy metal band. I'm going to have to go with Pink Floyd on this one.

Convinced yet, boo boo?

I voted for Pink Floyd. For the sole reason, because I feel Dream Theater isn't prog (which apparently is debatable), and the music doesn't settle well with me.

I'm confused by this poll
mainly cos Dream Theater have no place being pitted against Floyd

like having the 1990's Mike Tyson fight against Pee Wee Herman

OK then. I refuse to listen to someone who has cheesy album covers , cheesy lyrics , songs that have 5 or more parts denominated by roman numerals by people who could give a 10 hour long interview on the subject of tuning pegs.

Better?

Pink Floyd of course, you cant compare a bunch of berklee students with the history of rock (do not forget Barrett, too)

pink floyd kills dream theater, but not because of syd barret's contributions

and yes I do realize my screen name is the title of a syd barret song

Shoot me for this, but i actually like dream theater's Darkside of the moon cover.
Petrucci does an excellent job reproducing the original guitar sounds.
Only thing you guys will bitch about again is the vocals, but i don't mind the high pitched voice LaBrie has.

Also, why would you wanna compare DT with floyd?
I prefer PF, but then i don't hate DT as well. They are in no way claiming to be better than Floyd, nor do they sound the same.(you can hear some influences here and there, but generally they don't sound the same)
The comparison is just stupid and what's even worse is the pointless bashing.

I think Labrie has a pretty nice voice actually.

I just hate hate hate the way he sings.
