Yep it need to be done by somebody. 
Anywell if i made a DT bashing thread or a TMV bashing thread i think there would have been several people that would agree with me...Myself i like bashing the bands that have not been bashed already.

Go on then. This site lists 1, 644 bands. When will we expect them all successfully bashed by?

Im just saying dont bash dream theater, bash instead the crappy prog metal bands...

In other words "Everyone should have identical taste in music as me". Oh grow up.

Nah i just bash the bands that everybody likes...alot more fun

As I said... grow up.

Blah well bashing britney spears on a prog forum is no problem and that is exactly like bashing colosseum on a britney spears forum. However i would like to pont out that PoS is not geniouses of music they will never be as great as bands like dream theater and mars volta wich has much more fans and are much more creative.
Yet these bands do not recive any bashin just because they are relatively unknown compared to TMV and Dream Theater and therefore everybody suddenly gets this crazy idea about PoS being better than those bands since they get bashed alot just because they are the most well known bands in the genre and PoS just gets the good words and that is pretty unfair if you ask me.

Not true. People have criticised them in the past on this forum.
There's no "recieved opinion" here; EVERYBODY has their own tastes.
Basically, you're getting worked up against no one in particular. You
don't have to like PoS! Stick with DT and TMV if that's what you want
to do. I would advise you, though, to start talking about some other
bands here or people could get very tired of your presence. Ever
thought about trying some Gentle Giant?

 Frances the mute is not complex, it's a big messy and pretentious cocktail of mostly unbearable tunes, especially the voice of the singer! But the band has some good points, I mean they could become good one day, after they've learnt to create really good and high-quality music (and maybe after changing the vocalist, but I guess would be quite tough for them to find someone equivalent to Daniel Gildenlöw)!
Just my opinion, okay you have yours. Everything's just a matter of taste. I really don't mind if some people prefer DT (I like as well, but not that much as PoS) or TMV.That's okay they should enjoy it. For me PoS is one of the best ProgMetal bands!

Well, maybe being an Iron Maiden and Dream Theater fan yourself, the simple answer is that Pain of Salvation is way too complex for you and that's why you don't get it... stay with your easy tastes... |
Complex PoS? Hardly...i would actually rate it a pretty easy album to get into. Just terribly boring. Frances the mute is a way more complex album than remedy lane will ever be.
Its rather the other way around i dont think PoS is complex enough and that makes it boring |

maidenrulez: at some points you're saying that
you're only bashing PoS because other people are bashing DT. at other
times you're saying that PoS are crap and unoriginal.
i have to ask, can you honestly say you've sat down and listened to a
PoS album properly? (and by properly, i mean with absolutely no
preconceptions about them and without comparing them to anyone else).
it seems like you're trying to compare the PoS albums to the DT and TMV
albums, which is just stupid, because they are very, very different.
from what i've gathered reading your posts, you have an extremely
narrow-minded perspective when it comes to music, which i wouldn't have
expected on a progressive music forum. something i've learned is to
always listen to a new album at least a few times before writing it
off, and to listen to the album with an open mind. an example i can
think of is my experiences with Opeth, i listened to "Blackwater Park"
and completely hated it because of the growling in the vocals. however,
when i found out that the album "Damnation" had no growling i decided
to give them a second chance, and absolutely loved it. since then i've
given "Blackwater Park" another try and after a few listens it's
starting to become one of my most-played albums at the moment.

What's with all the hate threads around here? i find it hard to grasp how some of you supposedly love progressive music, but hate some of the best progressive bands! is there some kind of unwritten rule stating that you're not allowed to love both PoS and DT? Personally, i absolutely love them both. I prefer PoS (I think the quality of their albums is much more consistent than DT, there's quite a few DT songs i skip when listening to their albums), however, i still rank DT extremely highly.
My advice is this: remove your heads from your arses, stop bitching about who's better, and just enjoy some brilliant music!

 I actually love DT, PoS AND Symphony X. I think those are the three most important Progressive Metal bands. They all represent different approaches to Progressive Metal.

Open your ears, nicholas Actually, SOME riffs of Symphony X are almost identical, I give you that. But Symphony X are consistently more neo-classical and Power Metal oriented, and that's a quality DT only touched with ToT and some small portions of some of their tracks.

I think maiden's gonna be heartbroken when he realizes that the members of DT *adore* PoS, and that Portnoy's invited Gildenlow to work on several projects with him.  |
I wonder what maiden thinks about Neal Morse, or the Flower Kings, or the Beatles, or Led Zeppelin

PoS is terribly overrated.
