Let's start with my favorite songs selection. Hollow Years (Live at Budokan) is one of my most favorite song, the guitar solo by John Petrucci really killer! Next also another live version, The Spirit Carries On (20th Anniversary World Tour), the guitar solo... again will make you cry too. Following will be the heavy one, As I Am... this song really powerful!!! One of their most favorite song is Metropolis, that's another one of their finest music work. Lastly will be Another Day, another slow version from this band.
Actually I prefer even more in heavy version, but I afraid you all can't take it, so I just posted the slow version.

History
Dream Theater was formed in 1985 and named as Majesty. Somehow in 1986 they were forced to change their name when another band named Majesty threatening legal action. Therefor, Portnoy's father suggested named as Dream Theater, the name of a now demolished theater in Monterey, California.

John Petrucci
He is one of the most finest guitar palyer I ever seen, I really admire his skills. Now he also join with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai for the G3 tour. Petrucci also notable as one of the musicians to popularize the usage of seven strings guitar (alongside Steve Vai, Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George and the nu metal band Korn).
John Petrucci... my guitar god
Mike Portnoy
Portnoy has won 22 awards from the Modern Drummer Magazine. He was the youngest (at 37 years of age) to be inducted into the Modern Drummer magazine's Rock Drummer Hall of Fame. He is one of my favorite rock drummers, I really enjoy to see he plays on drums.

Portnoy's crazy drum set
John Myung
Myung has somewhat become the mystery member of Dream Theater. He really rarely speak and draw attention to himself in concerts. He is very quiet and very committed into his career. I've met Myung in personal in 2005 when he came to Malaysia. I was so excited to meet him in his bass clinic and get his autograph, and... I did it! I got his autograph on a post card and one of my Dream Theater's CD cover.

Cool... then u'll like this band ;)
Although I'm not a big fan of progressive rock, but I think Dream Theatre really rocks. I like Metropolis.
[zen master]
I'm a big fan of progressive rock, that's y I love Pink Floyd n Dream Theater :)
Dream Theater are one of the top 5 bands ever. The songs are great. They have 4 world class musicians. The vocals sometimes miss out a bit-not always. There are also great vocal moments.
I have all their songs on CD and DVD and can honestly say I lisened to them a hundred times and never got tired
The others are:
Yes (maybe the finest band ever with Steve Howe, the greatest ever rock guitarist)
Rush (Geddy is just great and of course Neil Peart. Alex is not bad either- I would say, top 15.)
I'm still trying to figure out the other 2 contenders.
Pink Floyd are good and their sound engineering is just great. The concept album idea also works.
Genesis sound good but somehow, I don't thing they are big enough. I like Tony Bank's keyboards. Steve Hackett's and Peter Gabriel's absence are definetely felt
