DT now tied passed Miley Cyrus at 38%! Keep up the votes and lets send a message to Grammy.com and the masses that DT shouldn't be ignored!

Zook

Why are people giving Miley Cyrus the time of day? Isn't it obvious she's trying too hard to be controversial and get attention?

Nah man, now it's all about her swinging naked on a wrecking ball and making out with a sledgehammer  :lol

I voted, but this is one poll that I'm not confident Dream Theater is going to win.

I'd say I'm very confident DT is not going to win.

lol DT has no hope of even coming close in this. Besides DT fans, anyone who looks at this is going to be like "what's a Dream Theater?"

I doubt that DT will win as well, but I think voting and beating anything on that list and putting a decent % up on the board shows the masses that DT is relevant and shouldn't be ignored. If it catches anyones attention in the end by someone saying "Dream Theater beat Taylor Swifts CMA nod? Who the hell is DT?" Maybe, just maybe, DT will make some people curious and earn them a few more fans and recognition.

Highly doubtful since DT caters to a relatively narrow market. Grammy.com caters to lots of people, most of whom probably would not have any interest in the things that DT offers.

What's interesting about the masses and the crowd that Grammy attracts is that they are extremely impressionable and in a lot of cases will follow whatever is trending. Now, lol, I don't expect anything at all of course, but I guarantee you if DT were to be advertised as some of these others are, you would see a bit of popularity gain.

Imagine if Beiber or Cyrus were to do an interview and they said "Oh you guys gotta check out my friends in Dream Theater, they're pretty dope." Or if some celebrities were sporting a magesty logo shirt and the paparazzis made a big deal out of, or if DT were sponsored by some big brand labels in commercials. A lot of people are just interested in what's trending and don't actually care much about the substance behind what they're following. Could you imagine a beer commercial during the Super Bowl that showed JP lifting an entire keg of beer over his head and chugging it? Nothing but that. 30 seconds he kills the entire thing and throws down the empty keg on the ground. When finished, he crosses his arms and the scene cuts to a black background with the beer logo.

Lol. JP lifting a beer keg over his head would indeed make for a great commercial for any occasion.

Hahaha,  :rollin :rollin :rollin.  Oh dear lord, that's got me going.

As for the whole "Imagine if Beiber or Cyrus were to do an interview and they said "Oh you guys gotta check out my friends in Dream Theater, they're pretty dope."", even if that would bring good press to DT, you guys are such a close tight-knit family that you would not, subconsciously, accept those people into your family, very easily.

That said, you had great intention when you thought about that idea, if it does actually happen, it's not going to result in a way that you expect however.

WTF? :lol

DT's too mainstream now.. Bye guys.

James doesn't even have a thigh gap anyway, so I couldn't possibly enjoy their new music.

And DT is all technical with no emotion, people can't relate, so they won't win.

Have you guys seen the "Wrecking Ball" video? I'm sorry, how can you not vote for that? It's straight porn, that's what it is. Sorry Dream Theater.

Let's hope DT don't try to compete with it on that level. A music video for "Along For The Ride" could be most unfortunate.

The Enemy Inside wouldn't be much better either I think.

Now I'm extra curious why they had to pixelate out the guy's face in the lyric video. :|

TheAtliator

hmmm.. Music that shapes the way I live my life by virtue of feeling and thinking, or senseless filth that destroys one of the most sacred feelings of which man is capable..

I can only hope it's the same guy from TEI lyric video but riding a bike or something.

Voted three times. We have to win this like we did with loudwire!

BlobVanDam

I just realized the only one of these options I'm even aware of it DT's new song. And wtf does an iPhone have to do with music? Ugh.

God, yes. And please, let him ride his unicycle with a pixelated face in the countryside. That's an amazing lyric video right there, and worthy spiritual successor of the TEI video.

Jaffa

Well, DT's at 13%, which is actually much higher than I would have expected. 

Meatrose

So, we can't vote once every hour? What kind of a fucked up poll is this?

Voted for Dream Theater. I'm not familiar with any of the other choices. I don't know if I should be, though.  ;D

Beautiful. Let's spam this thing like only DTF can.

DT is already in an easy 3rd place, with 20% vs 47%, so that's already a pretty good effort.
