These are the two most acclaimed albums by Dream Theater, so I thought of making a poll to see which one is actually preferred.
I voted for Scenes (my favorite album currently). |

Haha, my friend and I have had this conversation since scenes came out perenially. And we both swap constantly - although truth be told, Scenes receives a bit more of our attention.

Tough choice , when I am in the mood for it SFAM is amazing. But I find Images and words to be more consistent , besides I love that early 90's sound |

Images is the album that helped form progressive metal and is one of my favorite metal albums. I used to like SFAM a lot more but it's value to me has decreased bit by bit over time. Quite honestly it's not even one of my top 3 DT albums anymore. It's not a very innovative album in the sense that I&W is for me, although I still enjoy it from time to time. Images for me by many, many miles

By very far SFAM. I&W is not essential for me!

I don't even see how this is close.
Scenes from a Memory is progressive metal excellence. Images & Words....well, a few people know my ideas on that, and based on the response I got from them, I'll not repeat them here. |

It's tied right now so that's fitting for me. No vote.

Images and Words by a good margin for me.
SFAM wouldn't even make my top 50 metal albums, frankly. |

I&W is my favourite from their output, Scenes makes it to the better half too. Fourth I think, after Awake and Six Degrees. If the first act was as good as the brilliant second, Scenes would probably be number two on the list after I&W.

Two good albums. I vote for Images and Words which I think is the best of these two, but not by far...

Sacrilege I say, sacrilege. Micky, how can you say that about Space Revolver? One of my favourite albums of all time .

Images and Words is the album that got me into prog, back in the day. SFAM is the album that after hearing it, I never bothered with Dream Theater ever again. The album is absolutely RIDICULOUS (except maybe for dance of eternity).

You know Micky's issues with modern "Retro" Prog. I hope he learns once

Images and Words has a magical atmosphere. SFAM has a few really excellent song and a bunch of carnival riff w**kery.
