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.

...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

If I could vote, I would go for Riverside because LaBrie is a whiny b*****d with DT, although he sounds much better on The Human Equation.

Riverside. Labrie's vocals annoy me.

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.

You probably meant 'The Human Equation'

Riverside is putting up a good fight. Thumbs Up

Would be crazy if DT loses.

Riverside for me! I really like Dream Theater, but they're starting to get a bit paint by numbers lately. IMO they always sound the same(with the exception of Train of Thought that goes ferociously from beginning to end). DT really needs to try different stuff. I think with their talent they could be a killer symphonic prog band.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!
