6. What, in your opinion, is the best Dream Theater song for introducing a women to the world of DT?
I'd say I walk beside you or any ballads.

*bzzt*

Wrong answer, but I do admit most NORMAL females aren't into Dream Theater-type music at all. It's the blanket statement that we only like ballads or soft songs that kinda grinds my gears in this thread.

I dunno--I'm getting saltier lately. :getoffmylawn:

Well, best in this context is referring to most successful in getting women into DT, so I don't see how it's a blanket statement if those people had more success with those songs than with others.

He did say "or any ballads" though. Unless he coincidentally tried every single DT ballad of course, then I stand corrected.

Too much.

ASacrificedSon

Actually, I have a recording of me asking people of they know DT.
You'd be surprised how many No's were said...

Sacul

I guess it depends on who you're asking to, but it doesn't really surprise me at all :P

See I'm the opposite, I couldn't care less about most metal and its variations (except for some instrumental groups). I love DT because they are so diverse. And, many of their heavier songs (besides TOT and SC for me) are still very interesting. I think a lot of people who don't care for metal in general may like DT just because, in all honesty, there are way more light to medium songs than really heavy ones, and most of the really heavy ones are on specific albums. Besides the 2 albums I listed, and a few other specific songs, I like quite a few of their remaining heavy songs (especially on Awake, TEI, and the ones on the new album).

1. Do you know any women who like Dream Theater?
Yes, three that I can think of offhand.
2. Did you yourself introduce them to Dream Theater?
Two yes, one no. In fact, she's the one who gave me my copies of Images and Words and Awake.
3. Have you ever failed to get a lady to share in your love with Dream Theater?
I think I'm 2 for 2, but I may simply not remember.
5. Have you ever "gotten freaky" to DT, if so what song?
Almost certainly, but not with specific intention, just with it showing up during a playlist.
6. What, in your opinion, is the best Dream Theater song for introducing a women to the world of DT?
Depends what she likes. One woman, I started with all the ballads, and worked into some of the more metal stuff. She wasn't ever going to be a big fan of that stuff, but she loved a lot of it. I think she became more of a Kevin Moore/Chroma Key fan in the end. My wife, I focused on the proggy angle. She only likes the more metal stuff when it's live, for whatever reason.

I love Korn, best of both worlds baby. (well, I liked the pre-Skrillex Korn)

Oopsies. Let me clear things up.
I was thinking that women enjoy ballads.
Doesn't mean I'd recommend only ballads to them. Sorry for the confusion.

My wife enjoys "Beneath the Surface," minus Jordan's keyboard solo which she thinks ruins the moment. She also likes "As I Am" because it's a pretty straight-forward rocker. 

I put "I Walk Beside You" on a wedding mix that we gave to all of our guests, thinking she'd love the song (and because I had to find a way to get DT on there), but she thought it was "kinda cheesy." Oh well!
