I've always had this question on ProgArchives, do a majority of people here dislike Dream Theater? Now I'm creating this poll to confirm my thoughts.

Please vote, thank you.

I've always felt that they were superb. but i haven't gone any further into the prog-metal subgenre, so i don't know if anyone is better, probably.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

They are progressive metal masters.But there are a few prog metal bands that I like just as much as DT(PoS,Shadow Gallery,Symphony X,Tool).

Definately Prog metal masters.
But I've taken a more critical stand lately, since I don't think they are showing their full potential anymore. Instead of great mindboggling guitarriffs there are simple powerchord passages, instead of Petrucci's intensive, emotional solos, there this running up and down the guitarneck as if he practicing some scale. And the drumming has gotten more repetitive and straight forward. Still very good music though, but I'm more fascinated with other bands nowadays.
Currently listening to:
- Andromeda
- Pagan's Mind
- Kamelot

They're no doubt very good in what they're doing.

Just not my cup of tea, except for the wonderful track A Change Of Seasons. Can't get into their music.

as i mentioned before i really like DT epsecially in their first 5 albums, i don't have a problem with DT....it's their fans who make me furious sometimes with their opinions.

well  they  were  the first prog band I`ve listened to. Still I find them superb, really one of the greatest prog bands in the history.  I love everything they`ve done (ok maybe the debut with Dominci on voc is a bit sh*tty but the rest is really great).

When Day and Dream Unite is superb! Just give it 5 spins and listen to the drums! You'll overcome the hilarious vocalist and the poor production in no time!

Exactly, tracks like The Killing Hand and the Ytse Jam are just classics

Progressive metal masters, but even the best prog metal is nothing compared to real prog...

Dream Theater are good. Not quite very good enough, i have my reasons, but all the props in the world to a band that succesful in what they want to do, very talented, i just feel their is so much more out there that pushes my buttons more than this band ever could.
there is no spoon...
