Topic: Dream Theater vs Liquid Tension Experiment Posted: August 03 2006 at 10:22 |
Even though DT has more albums, I vote for LTE.
Why ?
Labrie's not in it !
Peace !

LTE v Rudess Era DT I'd take LTE.
But as a whole Dream Theater takes it easy.

i would go with DT for several reasons
a)they have had 8 albums, while LTE has only had 2
b)in actuality, LTE is basically DT without labrie and myung..
on the other hand..
LTE has done an EXCELLENT job as an instrumental band (2 albums is great)
....but i'd still go with DT because Labrie's powerful vocals add so
much to the songs.. as well as lyrics. a song must obtain lyrics to
have a clear message.

Dream Theater without a doubt, because John Myung is a missing factor in LTE. But the quality of DT and LTE is the same

LTE hasn't had enough album to really show the greatness, though those two albums are outstanding. Dream Theater for me..

LTE is outstanding fusion band, while DT is good metal band.
LTE are much much more to my likings.

The result of kicking Labrie out of the band (which by and large is the weakest link in terms of Dream Theater + the factor which keeps them from acheiving an even larger fanbase) would amount to what LTE is/were.

Agreed. And it's quite ironic, really, considering that one of the reasons they hired LaBrie in the first place was to help them get MTV exposure .
Nonetheless, I still voted for Dream Theatre. Liquid Tension Experiment are fantastic, but they get a little repetitive after a while.

I like both a lot, but I voted for DT because they are an actual band not a project per se. LTE is an experiment essentially, and is much more, well, Experimental!
DT is much more evolved and thought out, not just the guys jamming (though LTE is awesome!). It's essentially this- Dream Theater- Labrie- Myung+ Levin+ jazz influence+ total musical freedom= Liquid Tension Experiment.

Same band save for the base player and vocalist. So, no I would not agree that this is "Another poll with the soul purpose to bash Dream Theater".

Frank Zappa and Rick Wakeman have more relases. They are better

What kind of logic is that? King Crimson must be the best band of all time with all of their live Crimson Club releases. LTE for me.

welll, what's this poll all about actually? who we like more or who we would like to hear another album from? or who did more for prog music? either way, i voted DT simply because i always wait with anticipation the next album hoping that there's something new there and not knowing what to expect [even though the album might not meet my expectations]
with LTE i would find it quite hard for them to surpass my expectations [over the top instrumental music]
