People are entitled to like or dislike whatever they want. I don't like artists such as Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, and Nicki Minaj. Other people do. While it's true that musically a band like Rush or Dream Theater are much more musically advanced than a band like Maroon 5, it doesn't automatically mean that they're better bands. Taste in music is subjective and there is no definitive answer to what artists are the best. A band like Dream Theater are different than even most metal bands. They don't always use standard song structures, time signatures, scales, or anything that the average music fan is used to. While they have more accessible songs like Wither or I Walk Beside You, they also have weird songs like A Change of Seasons, Breaking All Illusions, and of course, The Dance of Eternity. To the average listener, those songs are a mess. Even die hard fans need a few listens to make sense of a song like Scarred. As fans of more musician oriented bands, we forget that not everyone is into complex music. I'm guilty of criticizing overly simple songs from time to time, but we have to remember that music is for everyone and not just for musicians.
