I am not listing Rush cause they were at heart a hard rock band that just happened to have a prog rock phase.

Dream Theater

If Geoff Taint didn't evolve into a saxophone playing phony fruitcake I might have put Queensrcyhe in my top 5!

K,

 

I've ripped Dream Theater on here for YEARS!

 

However...

 

Confession....

 

Dream Theater was in my TOP FIVE at one time!!!! I think it was way before I even joined this forum.

 

 

I was a Dream Theater addict when the hit the scene. "Images And Words" and "Awake" still remain two of my all time prog albums EVER!!

 

I used to hang out with these guys at small gigs in SF and in Milpitas Ca.

 

I still have my SF STONE ticket on the Images Tour where James wrote on the back of it.... "Hi Earl.... James LeBrie."

 

I have a beautifully framed original "Images" poster signed by the entire band. I loved the Kevin Moore years the most.

 

Such a shame and a sham that Rudess ruined the band. "RUDE."

 

 

LOL

Rudess and his stupid ass wizard hat.

 

The Mickey Mouse of Dream Theater.

 

Ruined the band.

 

Ironic.

 

I see there is a new Dream Theater Poll on this Forum. DUH.

 

Even if I rip Mike Portony on here I know Dream Theater was his baby. Dream Theater is a piece of shit without him and I can't stand Capt Blue Ball Beard.

 

But he started a great band that turned into cover land band bland shite.

 

Dream Theater is soft now. Trying too hard to do a concept play record for Broadway. Dream Theater is anything but broad these days. Shallow is more like it.

I respect and love that many of you if not all of you have YES in your top 5.

 

Don't get me wrong I love YES, but man Jon's voice has always drove me over the Cliffs Of Dover. Eric Johnson? LOL!

 

I know I know! Yet I love Geddy's voice!

 

I love Bruford, Wakeman and Squire. I love White.

 

Never was a big fan of Steve Howe, yet an amazing talented Legend.

 

Oh well.

 

Prog Foot in mouth.

 

I saw Steve many times over the last several years and he just shit the bed to me live.

 

I love Howe in ASIA.

 

Fuckk kids, what do I know?

 

NOTHING!

 

"CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SONS" OF A BITCHES! LOL!

 

KANSAS!!! RULES!

Jon Anderson's voice can sound weird, but I Can't imagine Yes being fronted by anyone else, from RJD to Tony Bennett

 

Hey Geezer! I totally get it! Jon is a Legend like RJD and Tony Bennett! Thank God or the Universe that I have at least seen Tony and Ronnie.

 

I've seen YES three times but never with Jon.

 

I'm fine with it.

 

Thank Goodness I saw Squire.

 

Not a fan of Jon.

 

Give me Geddy all century long.
