Riverside
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

You probably meant 'The Human Equation'

Riverside for me. Like others, I'm not particularly keen on the LaBrie's vocals, and while DT have made some great albums they've never had the really top-notch consistent batting average that Riverside have.

Riverside. Labrie's vocals annoy me.

...conceiving me for too long...

Who are Dream Theater by the way ?
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Watchtower, Queensryche, Voivod, Fates Warning all spring to mind as bands that did Prog Metal before When Dream and Day Unite was released (we wont even go into the matter of Metallica).

Your second statement is harder to refute though.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Riverside's Discography is played more often and enjoyed more than my Top 4 Dream Theater albums.

I was afraid this would happen one day. It's like choosing between mom and dad.

A lot of kids here say that dad has become a bit old, stagnant and boring, whereas mom blossoms in creativity, ready to conquer the world with her elegant progressive metal sledgehammer, made in Poland. If only she had as good marketing team and a couple million more die-hard fans...

Well, mom and dad, I will always be there for you both, no matter the outcome of this poll.

When I listen to these two I hear a cornucopia (Happy ThanksgivingSmile)  of sounds that remind me of prog giants of the past---but I like the Hackett like  guitar on Riverside so I voted for them.
