Dream Theater/Kansas

I'll take Rush's catalog over Dream Theater's any day of the week, thank you. Rush never had albums as weak as Black Clouds & Silver Linings or Systematic Chaos.

I'm much more a Rush fan than a Dream Theater fan, but I don't agree with this statement. For me, stuff like Presto, Test For Echo, and Snakes & Arrows are albums that are as weak as the weakest DT albums.

My first impression of DT was sort of Yes-meets-Metallica.

Heavy Metal Dixie Dregs with bad 80s vox.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Well, I completely disagree. All of those Rush albums have some redeeming qualities. BC&SL and SC from Dream Theater are total dreck, IMO.

They all have reasonably good artwork.

Dream Theater sucks compared to Kansas. There, I said it.....

I have a copy of Dream Theater performing all of DSOTM live. It's not as good as the Floyd's, but it is good. since this is a comparison thread, just recently I heard some 'classic' Judas Priest and Rob Halford's vibrato is more cartoonish than James Labrie's. So now it's easier for me to listen to Labrie sing.
