Its not really the cheesiness of their music that bothers me. I like some cheesy music, that goes without saying.

Its more along the fact that their music just sounds very lifeless and robotic, and the band itself strikes me as stuck up and humorless. But most importantly, I simply don't like their music. Not my kinda prog.

Songs with bit less cheese than an edam factory?
Their vocals are really the only thing that is cheesy.

I guess we listen to music differently. A couple of their albums are lifeless like Octavium and A Change in Seasons, but Scenes From a Memory and Train of Thought have soul in them. Along with Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

And the fact that you don't like music because it doesn't fit your taste sickens me.

Well at least theres one thing we can agree on, DT would be hella better without that dork LaBrie.

Perhaps someone didn't tell you, but thats the definition of not liking something.

All I said was that I don't like them, I didn't say they were horrible and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I used to despise Dream Theater but I am starting to get into some of their albums. Systematic Chaos, Awake, and Images and Words are albums I am enjoying by them.

But all in all I agree that they tend to not consider the listener's interest when writing songs for much of their stuff.

ELP?

And I'm not big hater or supporter. I guess I'll go with indifferent. I am a fan of Portnoy however. Especially his collaborations with Neal Morse.

His drum solo is one of their most popular songs...Says something about their fans.
