    I really enjoy Dream Theater but I really do not like there earlier work. There is a few songs here and there that i like, but I more prefer their more newer stuff.

      go home Sargent D!

  • Duncan

    Well, the lady's got boobs but no personna or self-respect as a reporter, regarding the turtle neck she's NOT wearing… Not saying to establish that one album or another is THE most influencial (or one of…) is clearly not reasonable.

    However, if you justify it well, like the way they justified Images and Words has united prog and metal, then somehow it makes sense!! (Am I out of my mind thinking they're making a point here??)

    Anyway, Dream Theater rules, fuck anything else ^^

  • Sludgemonkey

    Keyboards are not Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What bullshit!

    • Please Stop With This Logic

      Guitars are also not inherently metal. It's how you use them. Same with keyboards. Don't use fallacious logic, please.

    • Preon

      Who said? Are you the creator of the definition of Heavy Metal? And secondly, they have keyboards because they're progressive. Either way, try playing their shit on keyboards, until then, stop saying anything.

    IMAGES AND WORDS?! Awake is more 'metal' and should be at the top of the list, so Dream Theater bookends the list.

  • http://www.facebook.com/israel.silva.908 Israel Silva

    This should be number 1.

    Best album ever

    • Preon

      John Petrucci's guitar playing is some of the best I've ever heard. I consider him to be among the ranks of Eric Johnson, Satch, and right now is my favorite. Images and Words should definitely be one in my opinion, but paranoid is probably going to top this list. It was the first true Metal album.

  • Krzysztof Polska

    The best is Dream Theater Metropolis part 2 Scenes from a memory:)))

  • David Prater

    Thank you Metal Injection for the kind consideration. I remember making the record like it was this morning.

    Most of the people making the argumentum ad hominem attacks probably weren't yet in their teens when I produced this record. Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

    Nevertheless, thanks again for Metal Injection's insightful consideration. All the best to everyone. Especially thanks to Derek Shulman @ East/West and DT for allowing me the privilege to be of service to then. Cheers…

    and yes, i'm a chick too.

    No doubt influential – but have you considered what makes all these albums "metal" in the first place? Come and share you comments with me at http://metalmusicblog.com/2013/03/10/what-the-hell-is-metal-anyway/

  • pete croft

    A few idiots who say this isn't Metal have missed the point its progressive metal,no rules in the prog world but will bring elements of metal ,yes they have had some more seriius metalistic albums but what they are saying is the albums that broke them into the metal sceneband got the most attention to launch the band..Images and words is an amazing album and DT can metal with the best..for the idiot who said keys arent metal well they have been used by many metal bands fool..from Maiden to Dio to Symphony X to Iced Earth to Opeth..anything goes ..also i know heaps of metal chicks and girls who love DT
