Hey, can anyone suggest any Dream Theater songs/albums?

I've heard a lot of good stuff about this band, and I like the fact its prog-rock, and has simlarities to my favourite band, Muse.



Can anyone tell me what their best album is or their best songs?

Dream Theater's music is very conceptual. Even if the album it appears on isn't intended as a concept, the music itself is usually thematic, and presents a certain idea or ideas to the listener, and the lyrics usually tie everything together. They will often cross-reference their own songs, also, continuing a previously introduced idea.



'Images and Words' is probably a great place to start. It's still my favorite album of theirs, although it was also my introduction to them, so there's some sentimental value there, too.



'Scenes From A Memory' is widely viewed as their masterpiece. It's a concept album that has become the measuring stick for their other albums. It really is fantastic.



A lot of fans didn't like 'Train of Thought', claiming it was too heavy. That was one of the things I *did* like about it. "In The Name Of God" is not only one of my favorite songs from them, but one of my favorites from anyone, ever.



Napster has a site where you can stream and listen to anything they sell for free, with no obligation. You don't even need to sign up to be a member. I've linked below Dream Theater's music. Give it a listen.

I would definitely recommend The Glass Prison, The Mirror, 6:00, all of the Scenes from a Memory album, Led Zeppelin medley off of A CHange of Seasons, Under a Glass Moon... these are great tracks



[EDIT] To the poster below me: Yes, they covered all of Master of Puppets live, which is top notch as well
Didnt they redo some metallica?
A great starting point is their Best-Of CD just released last week...



"Greatest Hits... and 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs"



It's a 2CD set and pretty much a great starting point for anyone getting into the band.



Cheers.
