Wassup Progarchivers! I'm back (for the 27th time!!!) and gonna try and throw out a new series of threads, which is actually a repeat of a series of threads I did about five years ago. If this series takes off I'd like to go in some obscure directions and consider random topics, but for the first few editions, we'll stick to the simple, more obvious topics.

So with that said, welcome to "Pick Only One" (volume two). 

We'll start with the most obvious topic of them all. Your favourite band.

The rules are simple (as if the name of the thread doesn't give it away). No runners up. No second best. No honorable mentions. No joint firsts. No "I couldn't decide between...". This is the thread series where we separate the boys from the men. Where you have to suck it up, grow a pair, and pick only one answer.

Got two favourites? Well, tough sh*t. Because only one of them will get mentioned in this thread.

*Terms and conditions apply. Anyone who violates these rules will be prosecuted.

And here's mine... Dream Theater.



Whilst I haven't really listened to too much Prog lately, and I certainly haven't listened to this band too much lately, the fact still remains that when it's all said and done, Dream Theater are my number one band of all time. I came across them in 2003 with 'Images and Words' and was instantly hooked. I have all their albums, most of their solo/side-project releases, all the official bootlegs and most of the fan club cds. I have all their DVDs, two tattoos, I bought the first edition of their biography 'Lifting Shadows' (and yes, my name in the roll of honor) and I've seen them live. Once. Also managed to get my picture with Petrucci, Myung, Portnoy and Rudess.

The Mars Volta. 

The musicians, the energy, the lyrics, the consistency, the originality, everything that this band practiced was
the embodiment of prog rock. 

There will never be another.

Separate the girls from the women. When you have to suck it up, grow a pair, and pick one answer (then change it in 5 minutes).

We male prog fans have never spoken to women besides our mothers and, as free thinkers, are skeptical of their existence. If womankind does exist, what constitutes a woman? Will the future generation view women as we view prog? By my calculations, we should be able to figure out the answers by page 104.
