Pink Floyd. I'm 37.

Ages ago I used to be into all sorts of prog rock, including Dream Theatre, but even back then I didn't care that much for them. Just having all the technical know-how in the world doesn't make one "great." That sort of virtuoso attitude is a big turn off for me. Sometimes playing a few quarter notes in 4/4 is a good thing, you know?

You've gotta be kidding me right?

I have the first Theater album, and granted it is good, but I wouldn;'t even put it in the same style as the Floyd?

How are the later Theater albums? should I be checking them out?

You can't really compare them in my mind, I prefer Dream Theater's style of music in progressive metal compared to psychdelic rock of Pink Floyd or whatever you want to call them but it would hard to say DT is better than Floyd...

Pink Floyd. but than again they dont have John Petrucci with his famous one leg on the step by his mic

but the sound of Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon is absolutely phenominal.

nothing can beat that.

You cannot possibly say something like that. How can you compare two bands if you have never heard one of them? I much prefer floyd because I have heard Dream Theater's music and consequently I could form an opinion. You may love DT when you hear them.

sometimes thats true. it also depends on there taste of music, but you know, i never really liked the genre of DT but i listened to them and i liked them, except with the vocalist. I really dont have a fancy for DT's vocalist. thats my opinion
