Dream Theater Vs Pink Floyd (lyrics, metal, psychedelic, rock)

dac · 06-08-2008, 11:19 AM

i despise metal and Time (PF) is my favorite song ever and there's really no comparison lyrically and vocally... The children yelling on Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2 have better voices than the guy from dream theater

Pink Floyd, no contest

I'm 19 and I'm gonna have to say Dream Theater. They got me interested in prog in the first place. A lot of Pink Floyd's music I find boring and pretentious because it seems to drag on and on. I realize DT has some incredibly drawn out solo sections but personally I'd rather hear Rudess and Petrucci showing off than ambient soundscapes. James Labrie's voice and the band's recent sell out trend aside, DT wins it for me.

OMG

Can't choose >_<

There is no comparison here,,,Pink Floyd is one of the all time greatest bands period,,,their music remains unique even 30+ years after they recorded their masterpiece DSOTM. I do not discount DT and their musicianship, but get back to me in 30 years before you start comparing legends with relatively new bands no matter how talented they are.(Will anyone even know who DT is in 30 years?)

Well they're still kicking after 20+ years so I would like to hope so

I like DT BurnTham, but PF is totally unique and simply exist in their own niche, and I don't think any of their albums will stand the test of time like DSOTM has,,,it's just unique in music history.

I agree with that then, hard to think of any albums with the same glory as DSOTM, pretty much the most recognizable album cover ever

Technical prowess doesn't assure good music. Otherwise, Buckethead would be good. I'm sorry, but I respect Petrucci as an excellent guitarist and Portnoy as an intense drummer but I simply can't listen to DT with the admiration as I have for Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd are a trillion times superior to Dream Theatre. DT write some of the cheesiest, most goofy hard rock I've ever heard in my whole life.
