I thought I'd take a minute (probably too many) to introduce myself.  While I learned about DT mostly in chronological order, I was about 15 years behind the curve. 

It was probably 2007/08 (I know after Systematic Chaos) the topic of music came up.  I grew up with a lot of 80s hard rock and he mentioned Dream Theater as his favorite band.  Sadly (obviously not as all-knowing as I thought I was), I had to plead the fifth.   From that day forward, my friend introduced me to Dream Theater -- starting with I&W and, in order, up to Systematic Chaos.  He didn't introduce me all at once, but gradually.   I was hooked and couldn't believe the great music I was missing out on.   For DT, I started getting all of the CDs starting with BCSL, and I went crazy getting as many MP3s under the "progressive metal" genre. 

I'm looking forward to hearing the latest news and thoughts on DT, past, present, and future on this forum!
