Just about every chorus Symphony X does in a a fast heavy song sounds like Under a Glass Moon. When I listen to Of Sins in Shadows and i hear Russell Allen start sings "Desparate Cries!" i secretly hear James LaBrie going "Outside the Sun...Bathing your soul in Silver Tears!" So many of Symphony X's intros like Medusa have a similar rythmn to the Under a Glass Moon intro. If you don't think Symphony X takes a lot of influence from Under a Glass Moon, your haven't heard Under a Glass Moon, or you don't listen to Symphony X.
Dream Theater is being mentioned here because every progressive metal band will always be compared to Dream Theater in every aspect. When people talk about how technical Spiral Architect is they compare to Dream Theater. When they talk about how emotional Pain of Salvation is, they compare to Dream Thetaer. Dream Theater means more to progressive metal now than any other band ever will. DREAM THEATER !

I don't hear that at all. No similarity (Of Sins and Shadows / Under a Glass Moon) except that they're both Prog Metal songs.

 Dream Theater is the most popular, but not the best prog metal band. It's odd ... only few people here name them as their favorite prog metal band, although the statistics suggest otherwise ...

I've listened to under a glass moon and the things you mentioned have other bands used before, like earlier power metal bands, so don't think DT never had copied anything...

And me thinks that its actually hard to compare DT with PoS or SG when talking bout emotions...
Don't get m,e wrong, DT can be very emotional at times (Through Her Eyes). But The bands I mentioned above are mostly based on emotion!
But Yer right that DT will always be mentioned, cuz they are the most popular and probably most influential band in prog metal. Literally every young prog metal band wants to be like DT
