Their best 3 CD's are

Images and Words
Awake
Scenes From A Memory

If you want the more prog DT get those or if you want the more metal DT get Train Of Thought but I'd go with those first

Alright. Thanks.

If you only end up getting one get SFAM first imo.

I & W is their best work..imo..

6DOIT is easily their best.

Nah.

I&W may be their best but I believe SFAM is more accessable.

I think I&W and SFAM are both too warm and, dare I say it, poppy. 6DOIT, on the other hand, has this melancholy, dark tone to it that is just epic.

NP: Misunderstood :smoke:

i think "blind faith" off of [I]six degrees of inner turbulance [/I]is one of dream theater's best songs . . .

Yeh, I like all the songs on that CD except The Great Debate

Blind Faith is my favorite song on 6DOIT, then Great Debate/VIII-Losing Time:thumb:

I would say SfaM is DT's best work, however you kinda need to listen to Metropolis part 1 to fully appreciate it. So yeah, SfaM just edges out I&W for me, but I still love I&W to death.

Six Degrees....is the only DT album I don't have. It's always been a bit on the expensive side when I see it. Is it worth getting?

That's because it's two discs. Yeah, it's worth getting just for the first disc. I find the second a bit bland, but you may like it.

Definatly, especially since they play the whold second disk on score which i'd say you would be getting

I actually like most of the second disk, especially about to crash

I'll look on Amazon.com when I get some money and see if I can find a cheap copy.

My favorite song of 6DoIT is The Test that Stumped them All, i love the weird backing vocals and the crazy intro.

I really, really don't. Believe me, I've tried to get into it. The lyrics are horrible.

Yeah, I find 6DOIT is kinda hard to get into. The first disc is brilliant. The title track, however, takes some convincing. But I still think it's a great album.

I got 6DOIT free...from a..friend. Yes, a really close friend.

I love that part too, me and my friend always sing along to it even though half the time we get the words wrong.
Its actually portnoy that does that backing bit.

And yeah i hate the way SDOIT is so expensive...i mean i know its two disks but does that really warrant charging 24 british pounds for it??

Does anyone know if I'll be able to burn all the songs from Score onto my computer in the same fashion that I would do with a CD, if I just buy the DVD?

I know that it is [I]Possible[/I] but you cant do it with wmp or anything like that, i'm pretty sure you need a special program.

I think you're right there actually, it really grew on me and now i cant get enough of it.

I don't like 6DoIT's Disc 1. The title track is awesome.

I personally isn't a big fan of Rudess-era-DT to be honest.

I prefer Moore over Rudess but I still think Rudess is a great keyboard player, Moore era>Rudess era tho

eug, there's no doubt thar Rudess is better technically. His changes to Kevin's WDADU parts are very bad though. For instance Only A Matter of Time.

Maybe I should just buy the CD instead of the DVD.

Yeh dave you should buy the cd. :)
