Topic: Dream Theater vs Tales From Topographic Oceans Posted: September 18 2008 at 05:02 |
How absurd... comparing a band to an album, plus it's a prog metal band vs a symphonic prog album... makes no sense. We have enought DT polls already, this one isn't more interisting it's more senseless.

No prog metal band can ever hope to compare to any 70's prog album. At least in my world!

This poll is really unfair to Tales because it's against essentially every DT album. Tales vs. Six Degrees would be fairer. Anyway, I vote DT.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

In an effort to keep the Dream Theater poles more interesting. I have decided to ask this of you. Is Dream Theater the ultimate, or do you rather prefer the more eclectic Tales From Topographic Oceans. I really wanna know. |

Is Dream Theater an album? I only ask because I know TFTO is but I was unaware that Dream Theater had an eponymous album. So is that the poll one album by a band against a whole band? Does not compute!

I guess it's hopeless... Unless you create a thread call "Big Generator vs Images and Words"... MAYBE DT would come out on top.... But even then... maybe if you create a poll called "Jon Anderson Serial killer Rapist Murderer vs Nobel Peace Prize Winner Labrie" would DT come out on top... maybe...... |
No, I think your only hope is Open Your Eyes by YES vs Images and Words. There you go, you can try that one and see how it floats. If you don't I will.

I think that if Dream Theater covered Tales I would stop listening to prog.

Valid as in "having the right to exist" maybe it is. But please: a band vs an album?! We could also have Sigur Ros vs Close to the Edge..(?!?) Yes vs DT wouldn't be bad (the results would be  ) , Images and Words vs Tales wouldn't be bad, but a band vs an album???? |

I knew it. Believe me, it's no surprise.... |
*would offer Teo a shoulder to cry on. but seeing your pic... I think you'd crush my skinny white ass hahha* don't worry... if we flipped the poll around a bit... and asked who we perfered... DT FANS or Yes FANS... you all would come out on top... you all are good sports for all the abuse you put up with here hahhaha
