Thats basically like saying any band that makes mellow somewhat psychedelic music is ripping off Pink Floyd. You could call Radiohead and Flaming Lips ripoffs of Pink Floyd by using that logic.

I removed that from my post in order to bring up a wider discussion in the official PT thread. Maybe merge. Cheers.

i like them both, they are music for the wandering mind, and that can relate to alot of people i think. but pink floyd has alot more publicity and pizzaz to their music. very psychedelic

It's not fair to compare DT to Pink Floyd. DT is Progressive Metal. PF is progressive rock. Pink Floyd is also a much more well known band

Edit:

I love both bands alot. I have to say though as far as songs go, I find I like more DT songs than PF

PF: Comfortably Numb, Time, The Turning Away, SOYCD, ABIW are pretty much all I like

DT: The Glass Prison, Under a Glass Moon, Forsaken, Panic Attack, Octavarium, Stream of Consciousness, As I Am

I'm 21 Btw

I prefer Dream Theater, though Pink Floyd is damned great.

Tough choice

Edit: would someone please explain to me why Dream Theater are considered 'progressive'
I thought overlong guitar solos & high pitched vocals went out in the 80s.Doesn`t progressive mean progressing in your music rather than sounding like a relic from 20 years ago.

No. Obviously you are in the wrong board. Maybe even the wrong forum. And btw, if you actually took the time to listen to Dream Theater instead of going by what your other dork friend tell you, you'd realize that Dream Theater's music has changed quite a bit sense they started. And by your definition of Progressive Music, they would be classified as such.

Keep up the good work champ

That post was made before we had a prog forum , and I have every right being here being a fan of Psychedelia and a couple of prog bands , and more importantly Pink Floyd who this thread also happens to be about

I have heard about as much as I can tolerate of that band thank you and that was my own decision nobody else was involved in making me laugh everytime I hear this band.

So? Why should I care the basics are still the same , dull stadium rock with excessive soloing , cheesy lyrics and a frontman who still thinks it's 1987.

Why? what's progressive about a 10 minute guitar solo?
