What is your top favorite 3 PROG albums besides Dream Theater's?

I don't want to read too much into this, but is it possible they're sounding out ideas for a classic album to cover at the double header at the Paramount? Might be wishful thinking, but I was pretty excited about the possibility. 

Anyway, my three were DSOTM, Permanent Waves, and Remedy Lane.

Wasn't that option already ruled out by James in a previous interview? Things might have changed since then... Anyway, since it's almost certain that they will be filming one or both Huntington shows I don't really see them "wasting" DVD time on an album that is not theirs.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

The Dark Side Of The Moon is probably my favorite prog album, besides DT.



Though, they've already done it 

[The Letter M]

Yes' Relayer
Genesis' Wind & Wuthering
Rush's Permanent Waves (with Power Windows tied closely)

Those would be my top picks, if DT ever were to play a whole classic prog album in its entirety ever again.

-Marc.

[Kosmo]

Haken - Aquarius
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

[SeRoX]

I really doubt DT would do cover in its entirety.

[me7]

Haken - Aquarius
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

Dream Theater covering "Aquarius" by Haken would be great.

I still wonder why they took Periphery along their last EU tour when Haken would suit them much better.

[Phoenix87x]

1. Rush- 2112
2. Pink Floyd- Dark side of the moon
3. Marillion- Misplaced Childhood

* number 1 would have been Kid A, but I'm not sure if Radiohead counts formally as prog.

[rumborak]

Frost* - Milliontown

is one heck of a prog album too.

[BlobVanDam]

I don't think much was meant by that tweet, probably just the usual fan interaction. Once you exclude DT, I don't like anything that even resembles prog, so I'd abstain from that question.

[Zydar]

Dark Side Of The Moon
Selling England By The Pound
A Farewell To Kings Moving Pictures (didn't label MP as prog first but I changed my mind)

[RoeDent]

In the Court of the Crimson King
Animals
Fear of a Blank Planet

[Fluffy Lothario]

Close to the Edge
Blackwater Park
Lateralus
Frances the Mute

Not sure which I'd take out.

[YtseJamittaja]

Frost* - Milliontown

is one heck of a prog album too.

rumborak

Uuuuh, this one covered by DT, what a wonderful experience it would be!! 


Or they could play LTE 2 in its entirety..

[champbassist]

Beat - King Crimson
DSOTM - Pink Floyd
Moving Pictures - Rush

If one considers Isis prog, I'd say I like In The Absence Of Truth  more than Moving Pictures. Obviously that's just my ears' opinion.

[JayOctavarium]

The Wall
Deadwing
Animals


So hard to pick!

[Tomislav95]

Rush - Moving pictures
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
Opeth - Damnation (not Opeth's favorite but it contain no growls)

I would like to see them performing JLB's Static Impulse but it's not prog.

[Silver Tears]

Haken - Aquarius
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

You have good taste my friend.

[JayOctavarium]

I would like to see them performing JLB's Static Impulse Elements of Persuasion but it's not prog.

[Mladen]

Pink Floyd - Animals
Yes - Close to the edge
Rush - Permanent waves

[Sketchy]

My list of favourite albums shifts around pretty much on a weekly basis, depending on my mood, but Dark Side Of The Moon is always at top spot. At the moment, though, the other two are Seeds On The Ground - Cold Fairyland and Signify - Porcupine Tree, although last week, it would have been more on the Ghost Reveries and In Absentia line of things.

[Kotowboy]

i'd love them to cover an album just for Marlene to go

" OH EM GEE -Y U DO THIS 2 MIKE ? HAZNT HE SUFFAD ENUFFZ ? "

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Haken - Aquarius
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

You have good taste my friend.

You have good opinions, my friend.

[mrjazzguitar]

Pain of Salvation - Perfect Element Pt. 1
Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Tigran Hamasyan - Red Hail

[BlackInk]

Both on Roadrunner Records. But I agree.

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

I don't want any covers in DT's show. I want DT playing DT tunes. The cover thing was cool and everything during its time, but it's been enough of that. Petrucci himself stated that, during these concerts, they'd try to focus only on DT material (because they're reinforcing the image of what DT is).

[TheGreatPretender]

I'd love to see DT cover a Rush album (2112?), and they should do it in Toronto, since Rush is from Canada anway. And that way I could go see them perform it!

[Kotowboy]

It would not look very good to the anti-DT squad and MP fanboys that " the leader " as they see it leaves the band and

DT resort to playing covers to ( as they will see it ) make up for his lack of leadership and vision - or trying to replicate a scenario and

timeframe when MP was still in the band.

They need to concentrate on playing all their own material to make sure the MP fanboys and anti-DT squad have no ammunition. - albeit baseless.

That is the most convoluted theory I have ever heard.

[Kotowboy]

Blabbermouth and YouTube comments disagree with you.

[BlobVanDam]

Oh Blabbermouth doesn't count.

[Kotowboy]

Most of them can't really read or write either...

[BlobVanDam]

I wonder what the overlap is with people who comment on Youtube?......

[Kotowboy]

They're idiots.
