Dream Theater Vs Pink Floyd (genre, album, vocalist, album cover)

No! the simple fact is that one band was judged better than the other purely because he has only heard one of those bands. I am not questioning what band he prefers, merely the criteria he used.

well. i suppose if you've heard Dream Theater and not really know them as in what there music is like than i agree with you. But you should still have some back up information on something like that in case somebody brings up a point as jackhammer did.

it can be a no and a yes, depends on how you look at the situation.

yeah. he did say that he's never heard of Dream Theater, and rating between Dream Theater and Pink Floyd and only knowing half of the story is not really qualified as a "rating" per say.

The real question is do you really need to know Dream Theater.

I'll go for a no on that one.

I don't even need to listen to Dream Theater , just looking at their album covers makes me want to punch stuff.

I enjoy both of them, but voted for Floyd. Like in many polls, the bands that are being compared are very different. While they are both great musically, I feel that Pink Floyd has just contributed much more to music and our culture in general.

im trying to be sure, is that a good thing or a bad thing? i mean it could go either way, you may feel good when punching a little boy in the face or you may feel bad hitting an old person in the hip. either way, i mean Dream Theater will get anyone riled up to go on a mass murder trip. not really...but you know.

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.

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?
